Grace and peace to all 🤍✌️. Here’s some encouraging truth. 👇

Blessed are all who put their faith in Jesus Christ! 🌟

In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, and the promise of eternal life ✝️🌿
When hope is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.”

Two men died beside Jesus ✝️. One mocked 😔. One repented 🙏. One faced eternity unprepared ⏳. The other heard, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise” 🕊️✨

Death is certain ⚠️. Salvation is the work of God’s grace ❤️‍🔥.

George Swinnock, nonconformist minister, writes on Prov 23:10. God would have no one oppressed, not even the rich!

… but especially not the weak and poor. The more they are unable to help selves, the sooner that God will arise to help them. Though they be weak, they have a strong Redeemer.

How can you help all be confident in a Redeemer, who might give them pause in their conduct against those to be redeemed, but also provide an eternal hope?

GEORGE SWINNOCK (1627-1673) The Beauty of Magistry "God would have no man oppressed, be he never so rich; but specially he hates the oppressing of the poor, because low and weak, and cannot help themselves as rich men can. The more unable they are to help themselves, the sooner will God arise to help them ; though they be weak, yet their Redeemer is strong, Prov. xxiii. 10, 11."

Charles Elliott, a Southern Methodist pastor, recalls the actions of his church-kin in KS. A judge heard a church was going to hire an anti-slavery pastor, and led a mob with knives to break up a worship service.

A similar mob was headed to a black church on the night of the Charlottesville riot.

How might you put away your bowie knives?

CHARLES ELLIOTT (1792-1869) SOUTHWESTERN METHODISM "This was no slight affair. A mob of two hundred persons, armed with bowie-knives and revolvers, headed by a Southern Methodist, a judge of the bench, interrupted the public exercises of religion by stopping them, reading denunciatory resolutions, and making a speech on them."

William Mackergo Taylor, Congregationalist minister in Edinburgh and NYC, writes on Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. Ignoring a beggar at the gate isn’t just politically incorrect, it indicates unfaithfulness. Much like the wicked servant in Luke 19.

Today would we view it as sign of unfaithfulness to criticize the giving patterns of others?

How can you look at what you are hiding away in napkins today?

"The beggar that sat neglected at his gate is the little feature which indicates his [the rich man's] great unfaithfulness. He did no more for the outlying world than he did for the poor diseased Lazarus. He was like the wicked servant in the other parable, who kept his talent to himself; with this difference, that instead of hiding it in a napkin, and burying it in the earth, he spent it on his own table and attire."

Gervase Babington was an Anglican minister. Here he reflects on “Give us this day our daily bread”. He says “our” bread means others have a part of what God gave us.

Is this disturbing? Are we at risk of selective use of the Christian community: when we want our politics to reign, we invoke national Christian uniformity, but if it’s needs, then our sect is no bigger than local church.

How can you view that others have a part with you?
