the glory and the horror

I do believe we do a disservice when we use good words for bad things. I think good words for good things and bad words for bad things. I always hate it when I hear “Hey, so-and-so had an affair.” What does that mean? “He slept with someone he’s not married to.” That’s not an affair. Prom is an affair; homecoming is an affair. Right? THAT is adultery.

Go to Sermons -> Topical Series -> Religion Saves.. -> Week 1.

See it for real, here.

Let them know this is stupid.
