One of the greatest laws of the bible

[RandyWayne]

Amen. So why do sermons on love (if they are ever actually preached) in hard line churches never get the same chorus of amens that a good hard holiness tirade get? Answer: Because LOVING your jerk of a neighbor is actually hard (usually) and doesn't give the same immediate feeling of gratification that shaving a beard/removing make up/ditching the TV/etc etc etc do.
Also it is much MUCH easier to AMEN! a hard holiness tirade if YOU know your not doing anything the sermon is wailing against but you KNOW the person ahead of you or behind you is! And if you can see it, then everyone else can see it also! "Can we say Amen? Amen!"
