Henry Melvill Gwatkin, Anglican minister, discusses forms of Christian service. Letting the oppressed to free (Isaiah 58) serves God as much as anything in a sanctuary. These deeds are preaching a gospel of mercy to the poor, which draws its power from the gospel of salvation.

I was told by a reformed pastor that a Christian should not be talking about oppression.

How can you preach good news to the poor?

HENRY MELVIL GWATKIN (1844-1916) "JOB'S PROBLEM" "It is as truly service to God as anything we do in church, when we labour to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free. We are preaching a gospel to the poor in preaching the lesser gospels of mercy which draw their power from the glorious gospel of salvation."

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."

"It is time in the West to defend not so much human rights as human obligations."

Leonard Black, Baptist minister in Va., laments that “enormities of slavery” had little impact on professing American Christians. Though they spilled blood to establish own freedom, 2.5 million await the same. Are they unaware?

Everyone was aware: tons of pastors spoke against it. No “men of their times.”

What can you do to learn more of enormities of slavery, and fight today’s “men of their times” arguments?
