Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. 'sUNDArsJ^iRMON ESSENCE OF SIN Tire sometimes have the wrong *’ idea about what sin really Is. We think we kin only when we do something that we J now is wrong, something we ought not to do. Perhaps we make too much of the fact that most of the Ten Commandments begin with the formula, "Thou shalt not.” The Commandments are not a series of negatives an 1 mere restraints. We should remember that when Jesus was asked the greatest commandment in the law, he said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart.” This is positive and we do not Jhave to speculate; we know that Jesus meant that a true love of God would turn us away from sin in all its forms and disguises. Let us be positive in our evaluation of sin and remember we shall not be judged solely on the basis of our outward sins. It is written that on the last judgement the King shall come in glory of his Father with holy angels, before him gathered all nations, and he shall say unto them on ius left hand, "Depart from me . . . for I wa a stranger and ye took me not in, I was .hungered and ye fed me not, 1 was s ck and in prison and ye Visited me not ” So, do more than avoid evil Fill your life with goodness, i-et It may not be charted that you •Mid It not.”

If you are a Christian, you are blessed with a h. itage. It is a heritage of tru h and has nothing to do v,, h imagination or myths. It is a truth that remains unchanged, no matter how many times someone attempts a rewrite or offers a “studied” translation. This truth is the word of God. It is found in the Holy Bible. It is found in Ten Commandments, which form a guidepost for Christian living. Accept this truth; it is useless to argue against it. Conscience and common sense will not pennit you to be unaware. You fool no one, not even yourself, if you pretend to ignore or disbelieve. Read your BIBLE dally and GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY
