BE GOOD, DO GOOD

 

 

 

BE GOOD

DO GOOD

 

 

A MINISTER RETIRED

 

GAVE   HIS LIBRARY TO THE CHURCH

 

I’M READING

A BETTER CLASS OF CHURCH HISTORY

 

THE MORE I READ

THE MORE I BELIEVE

THAT CHRIST WAS SERIOUS

WHEN HE SAID

I’LL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS

 

I WILL SEND MY SPIRIT TO GUIDE YOU

TILL THE END OF TIME

 

OTHERWISE

THE CHURCH

WOULD NEVER SURVIVE

 

SINCE THE BEGINNING

THERE WAS   DISSENSIONS

 

RELIGIOUS PEOPLE

ACTING IRRELIGIOUS

IN CHRIST’S NAME

 

BUT WHILE PHILOSOPHERS ARGUED

MOTHERS TAUGHT THEIR CHILDREN

THE BASIC CHRISTIAN TEACHING

BE GOOD

DO GOOD

 

THE CHURCH SURVIVED

 

ALL THE OTHER PARAPHERNALIA OF RELIGION

IS ADIAPHORA

WITHOUT THAT BASIC TEACHING 

 

CHURCH STRUCTURE MAY GO AWAY

WORSHIP METHODS MAY CHANGE

DOCTRINAL DIFFERENCES MAY DISAPPEAR

 

TOO MANY HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES

AND THEIR SOULS OVER THESE

 

WHAT REMAINS IS

BE GOOD

DO GOOD

WITH ALL ITS IMPLICATIONS

 

IT’S TIME FOR CHRISTIANITY

TO BE KNOWN FOR LOVE

NOT FOR WHAT WE HATE
