James Russel Miller, Pennsylvanian Presybterian pastor and publisher, on 2 Co 8. He says a grasping, covetous, miserly Christian is a misnomer, not the kind of follower that Christ is looking for. In the same passage he quotes a priest who says he never had anyone come to confession admitting to covetousness.
Would anyone have any admonition about covetousness today?
How can you help those in famine?

Thomas Chalmers, Scottish Presbyterian, identifies our duty as love, calling it the fountain of all social virtues. We are to meet the demands of justice, to visit the abodes of wretchedness, discharge all or obligations and duties with faithfulness, and to act upon any tender affection that we might have.
Is anyone, right or left, is talking about love today? Just anger. Or anger at having received any critique. How can you love this week?
