Positive and Negative Philosophy Sermon by Rev J C Smith
The sermon contrasts positive and negative living through Peter’s call to partake of the divine nature. It praises proactive benevolence and faithful boldness while condemning escapist, self-protective attitudes. The speaker notes Jesus’ constructive, tolerant preaching and rejects denunciation driven pulpits.
Christ and the Positive Path to Heaven
A reading on God’s personality and Christ’s mission argues reason alone falls short of the divine mystery. It asserts Christ educates human nature toward virtue, envisioning heaven as a positive, character rooted state rather than mere punishment-free escape. The piece warns against inferior views of salvation, urging unwavering love for God and pursuit of holiness. It cites Peter’s idea of an abundant entrance to heaven for those adding faith, virtue, temperance, godliness, and charity, and concludes that true heaven requires sharing God’s spirit.
