14 minute sermon by Evan A. Fry on Implementing Social Righteousness, given on October 18, 1953. He states, "We come now to a consideration of how man's desire for social righteousness is to be implemented. If men are to share as stewards over the good things of earth which God has placed within our reach, there must be some machinery, some organization, some implementation set up or established whereby men can accomplish these ends together in an orderly, reasonable, equitable fashion. If a good steward owes an accounting to God and fellow man, and if he owes a debt to God as tangible acknowledgement of his stewardship, there must be some authoritative means established whereby the accounting can be received in the name of God, and the tithe paid to God's representative and used for the purposes of God and his kingdom. If there is to be a voluntary sharing of the proceeds of labor, so that some men are not forced to live in poverty in spite of all their best efforts, while others live in idle ease by the sweat of another's toil, there must be some sort of organization or framework or mechanism established by which men can combine their efforts as stewards to insure the well-being of all."

Brother Luff uses multiple scriptures to show that water baptism is indeed essential to salvation.

24 page tract on the necessity of water baptism for salvation. Brother Luff states, "To us, this question sounds about the same as would the inquiry, 'Is faith in God necessary?' We cannot understand why it should be asked by persons who have read the Bible carefully for themselves; but it is being asked, and that, too, by honest and intelligent persons. Hence we venture a very plain answer, and a few plain reasons for that answer. We shall use the Bible in so doing, believing that God's word will be taken in preference to ours. Our answer is, 'Yes, water baptism is essential to salvation.'"

42 minute audio sermon given Sunday June 21, 1970 at 11 a.m. at the RLDS Liberty Street Church, Independence, MO, USA. He states, "We're not doing too much about the purpose of Zion today, are we? Not very much. In fact we are not the people as of now to accomplish the purpose of Zion. There are several things that have crept in that we better as a people know that is crept in, and we better know it too that we're going to have to get rid of it before we ever become God's people. Because the God we're here worshiping together this morning has never changed, and never will change. His purposes are not to be defeated or changed. And if we are to experience disaster as the scriptures portrays that we will, after we have paid that price, then shall come the fulfillment of the word of God, 'And it shall come to pass afterwards'."
