Shocking, isn’t it?

There are a number of helpful thoughts in this piece that can be helpful. The author, Gary Chapman (The Love Languages of God, The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate) relates this to couples, in which [...] ….

Peter Kirk reports that: I interrupt my normal programme to bring you this shocking quote.

Apparently he said this during a talk at the recent Word Alive conference, the same one which is separating from Spring [...] When I saw the post Virtual Gomorrah: Temptation, Technique, and Technological Progress on the evangelical outpost, I expected to be annoyed by calls for censorship.
