I have been using the commentaries in TW more, and I want to explain a few new concepts that I am incorporating into the twmodules.com website, the TW modules, and how to use TW with commentaries.
1.) Filename conventions
The first thing I want to clarify is some naming conventions which I am starting to use, and slowly I will work through the entire module database set at www.twmodules.com and rename everything to conform to these conventions.
Purpose: To make the creation of Module Layout Sets easier.
By adding this abbreviations to the actual filename, I am hoping that it will make it easier for people to make module layout sets of a particular type easier. Note that I am also trying to reduce the Abbreviation so that when you use these commentaries with Commentary Linking, they will be concise.
Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement 7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it.... Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.
"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.
Read the 7-page article: Brown, The Devil's Mission of Amusement.
