spurgeon morning and evening
I have a really convoluted and confusing story. My friends that know it (including my wife) still don’t believe it sometimes, but it’s true.
I was once an evangelical Christian, a Southern Baptist, an adult Sunday School teacher, and a door-to-door evangelist. I not only voted Republican and/or Libertarian in multiple elections, I volunteered during Bob Dole’s 1996 election campaign.
Reading what I just typed, it’s honestly hard to believe it myself.
One day I plan to tell this story in written form, but that day is not today. Rather than erase that past completely, I’ve preserved it in a limited form as a part of this site’s permanent historical archive. It’s important to demonstrate that we can all grow.
This blog post is ancient. If it is technical, the information is likely inaccurate, or at least out of date. If it is non-technical, it’s entirely possible that the relevant facts and my own opinions have changed significantly since it was written.
It is only preserved as part of this site’s permanent historical archive.
Spurgeon’s evening devotional for today packs a punch. I can’t get over the last few sentences:
O professor, too little separated from sinners, you know not what you lose by your conformity to the world. It cuts the tendons of your strength, and makes you creep where you ought to run. Then, for your own comfort’s sake, and for the sake of your growth in grace, if you be a Christian, be a Christian, and be a marked and distinct one. __
