Mere Morality: What God Expects from Ordinary People

The following quotes are from the late Dr. Louis Smede (1921-2002) Mere Morality: What God Expects from Ordinary People:

"Maybe the prophets wanted the rich to invite the poor into their homes, maybe they wanted the poor to be befriended and supported by gentle arms of friends. Maybe friendliness. But at least justice, at least the rights of the poor respected."

And

"A baby born, through no choice of her own, into a poverty-stricken family has a right to nourishing food, a warm bed, and loving care. But as she grows, she also has a need to flourish as a human being. She needs education and books, music, access to dentists and doctors, and a chance to develop her gifts for creative work."
