Elijah Porter Barrows, Presbyterian minister, discusses slavery. One does not have to prove that every slaver was driven by individual animosity all day long. Revolting cruelty is the natural product of the system.

I had FB friends who were calling it a literacy program. Some call it a jobs program. Revolting?

How can you take pains to notice cruelty?

ELIJAH PORTER BARROWS (1807-1888) A view of the American slavery question "It is not my intention to bring a sweeping charge of cruelty against the mass of slave-holders, (as has been sometimes unjustly done by Northern men,) nor to prove that the majority of them are cruel. My object is to show that the whole tendency of the system is to cruelty. I shall content myself with asserting, what I know to be true, that multiplied instances of the most revolting cruelty do occur as the proper results of the system."

Charles Spurgeon, particular Baptist preacher from London, says there are justice issues even in the Gospel itself. Don’t make it so obscure such that it can only be comprehended by the elite of society, and by so doing, lock out the wayfaring person.

I personally try to limit the number of eight-syllable theological terms that I learn, even as I engage in theological conversations.

How can you keep it simple?

"O Brothers and Sisters, if it were possible for us to preach a Gospel that we had made obscure, or which could only be comprehended by the elite of society, we would soon have cause to sadly deplore before God that we had lost that simple, blessed, plain way of instruction which the wayfaring man, though a fool, can understand, and in which he need not err!"
