How to Spot a False Teacher
“Here is how you spot a false teacher: a false teacher confesses false doctrine and harms others yet knows how to hide him or herself well.” Wyatt’s got lots of good tips in here on spotting a false teacher.

Speaking of false teachers, I’ve grown increasingly concerned with Bruxy Cavey who has significant influence in Canada. In this article Jacob Reaume focuses on one area that is of especially great concern.
This Photo of People Taking Photos Haunts Me
I think we can all agree with this. “I don’t want to be a mere biomass transporter for my all-knowing phone and its all-seeing camera.

Been Down So Long It Looks Like Debt to Me
This was an interesting and rather sad read. “The foundational myth of an entire generation of Americans was the false promise that education was priceless—that its value was above or beyond its cost. College was not a right or a privilege but an inevitability on the way to a meaningful adulthood.
