A Message of Love
The reason for it all ...
At the heart of David's teachings was the unshakable conviction that the Love of Jesus and the words of God held the solution to every human need. He wrote:
This is the solution to all of the problems of today as well as to the problems of the past: Love! -- True love, the Love of God and the love of fellow man! -- The Spirit of God's divine Love which helps us all to fulfill His great commandment to love one another! This is still God's solution, even in such a complex and confused and highly complicated society as that of the world today!
So although the temporal things of this Earth can satisfy the body, only God and His eternal Love can ever fill that aching spiritual void of every man's heart which He created for Himself alone! The human spirit, that intangible personality of the real you that dwells within that body, can never be completely satisfied with anything less than utter union with the great and loving Spirit that created it.
It's really just that simple: if we love God, we can love each other! We could then follow His rules of life, liberty, and the possession of happiness, and all would be well and happy in Him!
David knew that it was not enough to simply preach about the Love of God. Many people would never be convinced unless they saw a living example of God's Love and power in individual Christian's lives. He exhorted his followers to not only preach the Gospel, the Good News of God's Love, but to also live it.
It was perhaps David's determination to ensure that The Family be 'not just a sermon', but also a sample of the love of Jesus that ensured its strength of spirit and purpose
