Of late there has been considerable departure amongst Brethren from these principles.

Well merited is Spurgeon’s keen comment, that where the whole is mouth the result is vacuum.
Much as this forum may be considered as "unedifying". That was also my experience in my last tour in the LC where unedifying speaking goes unchecked. Partly because rants against non-LSM Christianity became the norm and I as a brother silent in the local church instead of speaking a correcting word.
