Talmage Sermon on Gnats and Camels in Time
The sermon, based on Matthew 23 24, criticizes Pharisee zeal for minor sins while neglecting major issues. It condemns hypocritical ministers and laypeople who fret over trivial religious details yet ignore vast injustices and financial schemes, urging focus on eternity. It cites examples from commerce, publishing, and public life and ends with a call to self examination and repentance.
