America’s Fragile Empire
The United States is at its most vulnerable point since the Cuban Missile Crisis. This vulnerability is largely due to our dependence on the infrastructure of computer technology powered by the eletrical grid.
Why Merit Pay for Teachers is an Incredibly Stupid Idea.
The main reason merit pay for teachers is a bad idea is that it provides absolutely zero consideration for parental irresponsibility. Thirty years ago, parents were expected to help children with homework, add discipline to correct misbehavior, and generally supported teachers and the school system with just punishments and consequences for misbehaviors like lying, cheating, stealing, talking back and disrespecting authority.

It also appeals to people’s greed

A Summary Doctrine of Sanctification
Sanctification then is not something we achieve, it is something that we receive. Sanctification is God’s work, for he is the One who makes us Holy: Our righteousness is Christ and He alone. He is our Sanctification, our Sanctifier! He is the Holy One who lives inside us. It is He that is holy within us, not our flesh. Our righteousness is not something we have independently from God, as if it were our character. Our righteousness is the Holy God who lives within us by His Spirit.
