Calling Names
In view of a recent report of children calling their own classmates names, intending to put a derogatory slant on a particular ethnic group or other, I came upon the Epistle of James and found great enlightenment in his teaching concerning prejudices of every sort. In the Old Testament Almighty God was exclusive in admittingContinue reading “Calling Names”
