Right On Point

I have a nasty case of flu and won't be writing 'til I feel human again, but I read this on Facebook. It hits the nail right on the head in addressing the sinfulness of people who reduce real instances of poverty to a mere exercise in prooftexting from the Proverbs -- or shrugging off the conerns of the poor by labeling them as simple, sinful envy. We've seen myriad examples of that here from those born into relative privilege and security and see the poor and their defenders as . . . well, "pustules." Or some sort of leech, which is hardly a step up.

So. Does anyone know who to credit for the wisdom below?

"If you really believe that you stand on God’s grace, that means your work ethic, intelligence, and creativity are to God’s credit, not yours, which disqualifies using these qualities as a soapbox from which to judge other people. A lot of Christians want to get credit for the humility of believing in divine providence while retaining the right to judge others based on an ethic of individual responsibility."
