Too many of us pay lip service to Jesus, the pastor stated. and serve him with indifference. We are soulless and purely materialistic and selfish. We must work toward the righteousness of things.
The church's task is to find peace for the world, genuine peace, by exploring the spiritual realm. Man cannot organize it for it comes from the heart.
The children's story was entitled, "The Living Snowman."
