If your overarching (or inadvertent) goal is to be liked by the world as a believer, you will inevitably have to pare off the rough edges of truth, as Spurgeon called it, and do massive editing to make the message more acceptable.

"'You can't market a book like that. It won’t sell. Nobody wants to read a book on being ordinary.' They are probably right. Nobody wants to read a book on ordinary living because nobody aspires to be ordinary. It is not likely to sell as a book or a theme. ... Read More

Posted On Friday, 29 Mar 2013 By David Westerfield. Under Music, Theology Tags: 1804, 1850, Afflicted, Geistliches Volkslied, Hymn, Mein Verlangen, Smitten, Stricken, Thomas Kelly, Wo Ist Jesus
Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!

Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,
Was there ever grief like His?
Friends through ... Read More
