In the name of “niceness,” they are dulling the sharp edge of the call for repentance that our world desperately needs to hear. Drake Isabell, The Aquila Report, 12/23 For all their talk of evenhandedness, winsomeness, and giving others the benefit of the doubt, these ideals are tossed out the window the minute the discussion
