Spurgeon on Getting Help From Others
I ran across this quote from Charles Spurgeon on why we should be willing to read books and ask questions in an effort to learn.

The Church (- People)
There are several online churches (example) where you can simply go to the website and watch the streaming video each week. You don’t have to interact with anyone or anything other than your computer. I don’t want to question that these folks are evangelical and that they love Jesus and I don’t want to criticize [...]
