Raising sons
Parents come to me asking for tips and advice on raising their sons. Often, I find they are more anxious that their boy should get on in life than that he should master the art of living. That he should shine in society than that he should serve it. That he should join some select […]
Commerce and justice
Wealth easily abuses its privileges. Property rights easily prevail over human rights. Christ had few kind words about wealth. Parable of talents is not about possessions but trustees which is stewardship. Rewards were equal though results were different.
