Religious insights provide the handhold that people need to criticize injustice, rise [...]

Charles Spurgeon on 'the Laodicean church'
Monday, April 20th, 2009
I felt convicted by this Spurgeon sermon on Revelation 3:14-21 as I read it at ccel.org: [T]hey were what the world calls “Moderates,” they were of the Broad-church school, they were neither bigots nor Puritans, they were prudent and avoided fanaticism, respectable and averse to excitement.
