The Church and Civil Rights

For this discussion, Searcy defines civil rights as fruit of the spirit operating in one's life. It is important to provide love and assistance to the world's oppressed as commissioned by Jesus. Expanding upon the message of "loving our neighbor as much as ourselves," Searcy shows how churches need to work together to curtail lawlessness and racism, and he explains how civil behavior can be created.

With the use of Bible stories and passages, "The Church and Civil Rights" sends the message that love is more than smiles and nice words. Faith without action is dead; taking the right action is the key.
