The N Word: Not What You Think In our American culture, when we think of “the N word”, we usually think about the derogatory slang that is used against African-American people. And the use of that word is wrong and demeaning from whites to blacks especially. But I am going to address a completely different…

Let's look at what Jesus taught us about what we must die for.

But if I asked right now if anyone could recite a few lines…
