Today’s Big Question: 

Is your heart more worried about its own power, privilege, or purse than someone else’s need?

Today’s Scripture:  Proverbs 3:27-28

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,

    when it is in your power to do it.

Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,

    tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.

Other verses mentioned in the episode:

Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.” (Luke 10:36-37)

“If we have no legal debt to any, we have a Gospel debt to all. Even the poor is bound by this universal law to his poorer neighbor. Every one has a claim upon our love. Every opportunity of doing good, is our call to do so. Our neighbors are the real owners of our good....Kindness is therefore a matter—not of option, but of obligation; an act of justice, no less than of mercy….Delay is an offence against the law of love.” - Charles Bridges

“Delays in any part of duty, furnish a strong presumption that we do not perform it cheerfully. We are commanded, not only to do good works, but to be ready to every good work; not only to shew mercy, but to shew it with cheerfulness. He that gives speedily, gives twice; but he that gives with slow reluctance, gives in part a denial.” - George Lawson
