them TO DO that they don't DO. curse
We Meroz. said the angel of the Lord,

thereof; because they came not to
help of the Lord, to the help of the
Lord against the mighty
God cursed them not for what they
did, but for what they did not do
that God told them to do. They did
not come up and help God. God says,
you are cursed because you did not
do it,
Don't Persist In
Your Enmity.
That may be your trouble. You are
refusing to apologize to somebody.
My friend Campbell Morgan was
preaching in England, and a lady
came up to him and said, Or. Nor
gan, can't you tell me what's the
trouble with me?"
| He said. mo, ma'am, 1 am not a
physician"
| She said, at is not a physical dis
ability with which l am afflicted, it is
a spiritual malady. Four years ago,
l lost the joy of salvation"
! He said, "Bless the Lord"
| In amazement she said, What"
| He said, you said four years ago.
| | said Bless the Lord! because you
| specify the time; if you know when,
you know why"
Her eyes dropped to the floor and
she said, Eyes, do. Four years ago,
had quarrel with my best friend,
and we have not spoken since"
He said, "If you had died, you
would be in He'll. For if We forgive
men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you
He said, Where does your friend
/ live?"
She said, "she lives 400 miles
away"
"All right, write her letter.
He left her He went back to that
same town about a year later, and the
first woman he met was this woman
her face was lighted up like halo
of glory. He took her by the hand
and said, SISTER, you have written
that letter that we talked about a
year ago.
She said, Eyes, Doctor. wrote il
that night" And she said. when
did the peace of God flooded my
SOUL"
Poor chump! 1t would have flooded
her soul four years ago, if she hao
written the letter then Maybe it i;
that.
Pay Your Debts
And Be Happy.
Maybe you don't pay your debts
Maybe you don't pray. Maybe yol

be ashamed to stand up for your hus
band, or would you be ashamed t
stand up for your children? Are you
ashamed to stand up for your coun

Now here are seven scriptural def
nitions of sin. There are lots o
: descriptions of sin, but / mean scrip
, tural definitions of sin. What is sin
"Sin is the transgression of tn
law" That is the common, ordinar,
definition. Ninety-nine times out o
hundred people will give, if you as'
them what is sin, "the transgressio'
of the law" Sin is doing what Go,
tells you not to do.
: Second, Whatsoever is not a faitl
In SIM" Anybody that doesn't believ
in Jesus Christ as the Son of God
in God as the only God; the Bible a
the Word of God; Heaven for the re
pentent sinner; He'll for the unrepen'
: ent sinner; the Holy Ghost. "Whatse
ever is not Of faith is SIM" See?
i 1t doesn't make any difference VIII
breaches it or who practices it, it i
sin. If they stand up and preach tina
= Jesus Christ is not the Son of Goo
it is sin. When they say, saved b
character" they lie, because you ar
not. You are saved by faith in Jesu
Christ, the Son of God.
Third,"To him that knoweth to d.
good and doeth it not, to him it i
SIM"
What is sin? oh, you just though
it was doing something God told yo1
! not to do. 1t is that, but it is some
thing else too.
Here is another: aft you have re
e speet of person, we commit sim"
$ God offers salvation to everybody
, If the rich man doesn't repent, b
! will go to He'll If the poor ma
! doesn't repent, he will go to He'll, an
!. if the banker doesn't repent, tina
: won't save him. God doesn't condemn
J man simply because he happens t
: be successful and prosperous in tn
= world; it is a question of his attitud

"The thought of foolishness is sin,
= God knows there is plenty of tina

ton and all that. If what I preach i
