The problem with all of us is often times we don't desire the sincere milk of the Word. We want a substitute, a blended word, a homogenized word, a sweetened word, someone else to prepare it for us, someone else to have tasted it for us and feed it to us so that we don't have to confront it or be confronted by it, face to face, naked and open, unmediated, and responsible. We want to be able to say "he said that" or "they said that" rather than submit to the sincere milk of the Word and say "Thus sayeth the Lord" and humbly submit to it and be changed by it.
It's as if I were looking in a mirror. Very well put.
