The podcast this week (posted below—click here if you haven’t heard it, yet!) focused on how God doesn’t want us to cuss and curse and use bad language. After we finished, we remembered a related, short article from back in mid-2019 by Mr. Dexter Wakefield, titled “Profanity!” Check it out at the link below if you haven’t read it. It’s a quick read!
And, by the way, be sure to come back and look for additional posts in addition to the weekly podcasts. We’re working harder to add helpful content, and if you scroll just a bit, you’ll see recent posts about not just the podcast, but also a related sermon Mr. Weston gave, but also a link to the Living Education–Charlotte blog, as well. Be sure to poke around, and we’ll continue working to add more content in the future! In the meantime, here’s the article:
* Note, it’s not “profanity by Mr. Wakefield,” but “Profanity!” which is the title of an article by Mr. Wakefield. Very important difference!
Tomorrow’s World
TW Article: “Should We Kiss Dating Hello?”
/in Uncategorized/by Your Friendly Neighborhood EditorsHere is the July-August 2020 Tomorrow’s World article by Mr. Jonathan McNair that was referenced on this week’s podcast: “Should We Kiss Dating Hello?” Though it was written to parents, it is really instructive for anyone wanting to understand what we should be focusing on in different stages of our development, versus the priorities pressed on us by a world that sees us as “walking wallets” instead of growing human beings with an eternal future who are seeking to live a good life.

Podcast 40: The Curse of Cursing (and Cussing!)
/in Podcast/by Your Friendly Neighborhood EditorsThis week, we talk about cussing and cursing and how it really does make a difference—a topic suggested by one of you listeners. (Thanks!) What does using foul language really say about us, and what does God think about it? Tune in today, as we talk about the importance of keeping it clean.
The podcast is available on the usual platforms below. Also, there is a relevant Tomorrow’s World article we did not think of at the time we recorded this (maybe because the magazine graphic for that article has an embarrassing typo that we editors would like to forget), and you should read it! We’ll follow up with a link to it in a later post. [Update: Done!] In the meantime, enjoy the podcast!
What Are They Up To at Living Education–Charlotte?
/in Uncategorized/by Your Friendly Neighborhood EditorsIf you’ve ever wondered whether the “on campus” Living Education experience might be for you, one of the best ways to get a sense of what it’s like is to tap into the Living Education–Charlotte blog.
Each year, a student is assigned to post regularly in the blog area of Living Education’s LCGEducation.org site and write about what’s happening. This year’s student, Kaleb Johnson, posts about social activities, ways the dorms are serving the local congregation here in Charlotte, and presentations made by teachers and other faculty to the students. Others also contribute, and there are many posts by second-year student Nathan Kroon, LE staff member Rebekah Ross, and others. And photos from events are frequently featured.
So, if you’d like to get a sense of what it’s like being a student at Living Education–Charlotte, head on over to the blog and let them tell you firsthand!
The Sermon from the Podcast: “‘Is It Okay?’ Is the Wrong Question”
/in Uncategorized/by Your Friendly Neighborhood EditorsAs advertised! Here’s the sermon that inspired the podcast for this week. Click here for the podcast if you didn’t hear it, and just hit play below for the sermon!
(Don’t be distracted by the way we spell “OK” differently in the podcast title! We’ll all survive!)
Podcast 39: “Is It OK?” Is Not Enough
/in Podcast/by Wallace Smith & John RobinsonInspired by a keynote sermon Mr. Gerald Weston gave five years ago, today we tackle the tempting but misleadingly dangerous habit of asking, “Is it OK?” If we’re going to think biblically like Jesus did, we have to learn to ask better questions. You’ll find the podcast available below in all its various platforms, and we’ll follow up with another post that has a link to the sermon that inspired this episode.
