THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK
We become outraged at murder, yet we Christians are guilty of the most grisly of murder, mayhem, maiming, mugging, and many multitudinous monstrosities!!!
Let me explain: There is a hideous problem among Christians today that must be solved, or, according to the last verses of the Old Testament, God is going to come and "Smite the earth with a curse"! That problem is disunity, criticism, back biting, and the sowing of discord among the brethren. The implications of this criticism are terrifyingly far reaching.
Someone has said that far more people have been murdered by the tongue than by all the other instruments of war combined! (See James 3).
