It examines good and bad motives, judgments, and consequences. People of moral integrity are not double-minded. They don’t pretend to have virtues that don’t exist. Their minds, wills, and emotions are congruent—not at odds. http://www.hopefortheheart.org/?p=24539 Fri, 08 May 2015 06:00:08 +0000 Monthly Teaching Letter from June http://www.hopefortheheart.org/caught-in-the-maze-of-verbal-emotional-abuse/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=caught-in-the-maze-of-verbal-emotional-abuse Verbal abuse is the systematic, ongoing use of harmful words or harsh tones in an attempt to control others.
