John Calvin, early Calvinist preacher, writing on collections for famine (2 Cor 8), says Jesus “consecrated” the estate of poverty by living in it. Thus: 1) We need not regard this estate with horror. 2) Free from fear of own poverty, may help those in distress.
Today, do we fear the very presence of people in distress, and thus cut people off from any tie of brotherhood?
How can you no longer regard poverty with horror?

"It’s the latest move by Trump and his administration to utilize federal powers to control or hamstring institutions whose actions or viewpoints he disagrees with. Since taking office, Trump has ousted leaders, placed staff on administrative leave and cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to artists, libraries, museums, theaters and others, through takeovers of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities."
