Plagiarism

"Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work… Plagiarism is not in itself a crime, but can constitute copyright infringement. In academia and industry, it is a serious ethical offense." Learn more…

Prayer for a Teachable Spirit

O GOD, give me a teachable spirit, reminding me that to be a true disciple is to adopt literally the spirit of a learner. Show me how much I have yet to learn, not to discourage but to inspire me to be a person who passionately pursues whatever you want me to know. Save me from ever convincing myself that I have “arrived” and that I can now rest and take my ease — which is to settle for the false security of pseudo-competence.

– Steve Harper, A Pocket Guide to Prayer.

Wisdom and Sex

"Secular people often talk as if their perspective on sex is freeing and liberating. They often say that the Christian view is repressive, rigid, and joy-denying. But it is exactly opposite. If you want to experience heartache, tears, loneliness, and frustration, follow the ways of the world." —Thomas Schreiner, "Wisdom and Sex: Proverbs 5:1-23" Credo magazine. Read the article…

Proverbs 22:6 — A Promise to Parents?
