“This does not mean that we are to charge about aimlessly, buying and giving gifts willy-nilly. The grace of God is not stupid, so don’t give pointless gifts just to have done something. The grace of God was freely given, so don’t let a racket run by unscrupulous merchants extort money from you with that you don’t have. At the same time, merchants are a form of grace to you. How does God get that daily bread to you (Mt. 6:11)? So don’t identify crowds with a racket. Crowds do provide an opportunity for pickpockets, but Jesus loved crowds and He fed them. He gave them gifts (Mt. 14:21)” (God Rest Ye Merry, p. 105).
