#OnBeingOffended
by Lindsey Painter, 21 November 2017 In my last article I wrote about having a disagreement with my friend. The comments for that article were fascinating.

by Steven Siciliano, 16 November 2017 “Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because […]

On Learning from Bad Decisions
