Word Foundations from March, 2015, through December, 2016

From March 20, 2015, until the end of December, 2016, I wrote 96 articles and posted them here, at www.wordfoundations.com. I also wrote a number of additional articles I haven’t included in the core library of 96 posts. All 96 plus several bonus features can be accessed from the links below. I’ve provided content summaries as well.

While some of these posts aren’t quite as relevant as they were when I first published them, most are. Religious liberty, marriage, and human life are sacred, and each one needs to be upheld and honored if America is to remain a free nation. It is my prayer that these posts will be means to these ends.

The list below highlights three series of articles, but the website actually offers several. Go here to see a list of the various series available. You’ll also be able to identify series by article titles in the list below and the summaries provided.
