WORSHIP O OUR LORD October 14, 2018 The liberal/pragmatists tend to scorn religion of poor see m as helpless victims needg expertise. This is born out of a disbelief od s common grace or special grace to all. Ironically, secular mdset also disbelieves s, thus anyone who is poor must be oppressed, a helpless victim. The conservative/moralists on or h tend to scorn poor as failures weaklgs. They see m as somehow to blame for ir situation. But gospel leads us to be: a) humble, without moral superiority knowg you were spiritually bankrupt but saved by hrist s free generosity, b) gracious, not worried too much about deservgness, sce you didn t deserve hrist s grace, c) respectful of believg poor hristians as brors sisters from whom to learn. The gospel alone can brg knowledge workers to a sense of humble respect for solidarity with poor.

Jamie Macregor The Priority of Mercy Nehemiah 5:113 (page 400 pew Bibles) 1 Now re arose a great outcry of people of ir wives agast ir Jewish brors. 2 or re were those who said, With our sons our daughters, we are many. So let us get gra, that we may eat keep alive. 3 There were also those who said, We are mortgagg our fields, our veyards, our houses to get gra because of fame. 4 And re were those who said, We have borrowed money for kg's tax on our fields our
veyards. 5 Now our flesh is as flesh of our brors, our children are as ir children. Yet we are forcg our sons our daughters to be slaves, some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but it is not our power to help it, for or men have our fields our veyards. 6 I was very angry when I heard ir outcry se words. 7 I took counsel with myself, I brought charges agast nobles officials. I said to m, You are exactg terest, each from his bror. And I held a great assembly agast m 8 said to m, We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brors who have been sold to nations, but you even sell your brors that y may be sold to us! They were silent could not fd a word to say. 9 So I said, The thg that you are dog is not good. Ought you not to walk fear of our od to prevent taunts of nations our enemies? 10 Moreover, I my brors my servants are lendg m money gra.

We will do as you say. And I called priests made m swear to do as y had promised. 13 I also shook out fold of my garment said, So may od shake out every man from his house from his labor who does not keep this promise. So may he be shaken out emptied. And all assembly said Amen praised LORD. And people did as y had promised.
