How to Apologize, according to Wired

Of all the things I read, I think I enjoy my subscription to Wired the most. Every year they publish an entire issue featuring brief articles telling you “How to” do various things. Usually these things are very geeky and are actually answering questions I wonder about- further proving my geekiness.

Occasionally they include a more serious “How to”- although its hard to take it seriously surrounded by so much sarcasm. For instance this year they have a great description on How to Apologize. Its a great description of how to make a clear, concise apology.

Apologies are an important indicator to how much we are trusting in our justification by faith. If we believe that we are forgiven and accepted as righteous by Christ, our apologies will be strong and clear without any excuses- because we can admit our sin as sinful and rebellious in light of the amazing grace of Christ we’ve received.
