The PyroManiacs devote some space each weekend to highlights from The Spurgeon Archive. The following excerpt is from "Men Bewitched," a sermon preached by Spurgeon in the Metropolitan Tabernacle at some unknown date, first published in 1880.


I owe all my happiness since then to the same plain doctrine.
Now, suppose that I were to say, "I have read a great many books, and there are a great many people willing to hear me. I really could not preach such a commonplace gospel as I did at the first. I must put it in a sophisticated way, so that none but the elite can understand me." I should be—what should I be? I should be a fool, writ large.
I should be worse than that, I should be a traitor to my God; for if I was saved by a simple gospel, then I am bound to preach that same simple gospel till I die, so that others too may be saved by it. When I cease to preach salvation by faith in Jesus put me into a lunatic asylum, for you may be sure that my mind is gone.

Why does that sound to me like a blog name waiting to happen? "A Fool, Writ Large" - foolwritlarge.blogspot.com
The last line is just classic.
"KISS" (keep it simple stupid), thank you brother Spurgeon.
Short. Sweet. True.
