My friend Jerry has just joined the blogosphere. He starts with a review of Iain Murray’s The Forgotten Spurgeon. Welcome, Jerry!

To make a man altogether a Christian, there must be light in the head and heat in the heart, knowledge in the understanding and zeal in the affections. Some have zeal and no knowledge – that is blind devotion. Some have knowledge and no zeal – that is fruitless speculation. But where knowledge is joined with zeal, that makes a true Christian.

- Matthew Mead, The Almost Christian Discovered
