When discussing divisive topics, remember that both your stance and how you take your stance reflect on Christ. Believing that you're right is not an excuse to be harsh, impatient, or unkind. "A gentle answer turns away anger, but a harsh word stirs up wrath." - Proverbs 15:1

We write about the biggest, most visible, news stories regardless of their spiritual significance as soon as they happen. In fact, we often cover events despite their complete lack of any spiritual value or outright promotion of sin.
