The Blind Eye & The Deaf Ear is an article written by Spurgeon that addresses ministry students preparing to serve as pastors. Spurgeon wants to help these young men and we can also benefit from his advice to endure faithfully to the end in a world filled with criticism, gossip, slander, and self-doubt. His recommendation is that every minister and we can add here every Christian, must be one who has “one blind eye and one deaf ear.” As you read the article, you will quickly learn what Spurgeon means by this odd expression.
