Beyond that screen there’s a living, breathing reality show of entertainment, diversion, and knowledge waiting just for you.  

If only we all strove to show our works in the meekness of wisdom, how different our country and culture would be. 

We’ve become far too comfortable with divorce, and we don’t speak out against it for fear of stepping on toes. But we shouldn’t be silent, because the fallout of divorce affects all of us, even those who come from intact families.

The “default parent” debate ignores the natural reality that young children gravitate toward their mother—a temporary, demanding, but meaningful blessing.

This is the stuff of a life: uncountable moments, fragments of experience, trends and stages, that somehow form a coherent – though mysterious – whole. Each journey of a life is unrepeatable, the world inside each heart irreplaceable.

Why is it that church manages to provide such health, happiness, and hope?

In this new year, let’s aim for generosity in our dialogues and interactions with others.

Oscar Wilde's quote, “[E]very saint has a past, and every sinner has a future” sounds beautiful, but its context leads to a different meaning entirely.

Screwtape’s commentary suggests that the most dangerous state isn’t ignorance but complacency. A person who believes they’re well-informed but has never examined their assumptions is especially susceptible to subtle influence.

We live in an age of secularism, one in which we each find meaning within ourselves and our own pursuits, rather than seeing our lives as fitting within a greater transcendent narrative.

It’s often easy to dismiss ancient writings and accounts as farfetched or fantasy-filled, far below today’s society built on cold, hard, scientific facts. But Branley’s theory about the Star of Bethlehem has interesting scientific and historical backing.

Unlike idealism or ideology, this tragic vision of life and the human condition has a proven track record as a philosophy for living and might personally benefit each of us. 

The naked dress seems to be the embodiment of feminism, for in removing modesty, we strip men and women of their traditional, separate roles in life.

My New Year’s wish for everyone – my family, friends, and you my readers – is that your home is or becomes a place you treasure, an oasis providing refuge, rest, comfort, and freedom, a kingdom all your own.

“Happy Holidays” is the tactical retreat of a culture which no longer sees itself as worth defending as explicitly, or even axiomatically, Christian. 

It’s generally accepted that early Christians adopted December 25 as the day of Christ’s birth to co-opt the pagan celebration of the winter solstice. Some believe this fact undermines Christianity.

Without a sense of the sacred at Christmas, we still feel unified – but we’re gathered together around mountains of stuff, a temple to consumerism and big corporations. If that’s the case, no wonder celebrating Christmas is becoming less attractive. It doesn’t mean anything.
