    Receiving Our Opponents (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    IWhenever the Celebration of Pentecost comes around: preachers often give thanks that the Lord sent an Advocate but not an Attorney. Of course, this is a play on the Greek word, where the word ‘advocate’ describes the function of an attorney.

Confucius[2] framed his concerns about personal morality as did Plato. Both emphasized that the right people must rule rather than national leadership being based upon family heritage of mere military conquest. Today we’re going to take a trip in the Wayback Mach
