Matt. 23: 37-39 I have n ticed that we are now g tting an abundance of ermon on ..Love Thy eighbor' ' as a re ult of the \ iolent la\.vle n that hit our cit}' recently. I don,t know what this i to prove e cept it appear to me that whenever the civil "riot pro– gram need help from the modernistic churche they blow the whistle and out come the ' Love Thy Neighbor" ermon . Thi i to make folk think more kindly toward the lawlessness of the civil "'riots ' folk , I presume. At any rate it i a most subtle and deceitful u e of the Scriptures. I frankly don't think we need any "Love Thy eighbor" ermons at thi tage of the game. I am not so naive a to think we all love o ur neighbor . It i quite the contrary. It i obviou that few if any love their neighbors at all. But that is not our real problem! Our real problem is the fir t part of our text. The FIRST and GREAT commandment is to have a great and mighty love for God. And until we can pass the first Coulson Shepherd, Founder ''Faith is awake11ed by the MESSAGE, and the MESSAGE t/1at awakens it comes t/1r0Ligh the Word of Christ'' - Romans 10:17 (N.E .B.)
