Reading Time: 2 minutes Researchers in Israel have found missing Biblical texts in an ancient manuscript collection, as well as carved into walls. While working in old caves near Gallilee, archaeologists were shocked to discover key parts of passages that they’d not seen before
Reading Time: 2 minutes Fatherlessness is the single best predictor of violence in young men. Masculinity can become “toxic” in the absence of the wise Patriarch—but it’s just an aggressive form of sin.
Reading Time: 7 minutes In essence, idea laundering works through systemic infiltration of ideological malfeasance in the peer-review process. The grievance studies showed how this works, so I won’t go into too much detail (all the professors involved are liberal; Dr. Boghossian wrote “A Manual for Creating Atheists, so their worldview is humanist), but I’ll break it down a bit.
Reading Time: 2 minutes He left his house to take a walk and clear his mind, but found that dogs were forming into packs in the streets, and all the trees were covered in murders of crows as far as his eyes could see.
Reading Time: 9 minutes The answer to the pop quiz is “depression,” you lunatics! That was basically a free 100, so if you failed, you should probably be bearsprayed.
Reading Time: 2 minutes “The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.” —C.S. Lewis, Weight of Glory
Reading Time: 4 minutes Have you ever been hurt or disgusted by someone? Have you wanted to leave them to drown in their own, willful mistakes?
Be steadfast in an age of impermanence.
Reading Time: 4 minutes Have you ever felt beaten down? Felt like the non-stop waves of defeat and distress have just crushed out hope? Maybe you’ve staggered on because the only other option is not even tenable, but you feel as if hope has been crushed out by unyielding despair.
Reading Time: 2 minutes You’ve wanted someone that you could hold tight, to feel less alone, to just breathe a sigh of relief with, or you’ve wanted someone to hold you, to say to you, “Don’t worry, WE’VE got this. It’s going to be alright.”
Reading Time: 11 minutes Angels are more interesting than popular culture would lead you to believe.
Reading Time: < 1 minute Ever been kicked when you’re down? My friend Slade went through an utterly hellish time, but I was so encouraged by how he took it—his words to me were so helpful that I had to share: “Our ever faithful God has His love over us. Especially when we are feeling ‘kicked.’ His love is still right here.” There is no way that I could have said it better, but I…
Reading Time: 2 minutes People say that I’m quite vain; my sister says that it’s surprising given my looks. But that’s not true. I may hold myself in high esteem, but I know that I’d never be able to satisfy a woman whose instagram consists only of pictures of her. That above paragraph is a little bit of humor, and probably objectionable, but there’s some truth to it. I’ve never been the best looking…
Reading Time: < 1 minute Don’t call JG Wentworth, but you must act now.
Reading Time: 3 minutes This is a guest post from Temitayo Adebisi Adekunle, a Nigerian-born microbiologist. Look at the beginning of verse 1: “Therefore be imitators of God.” The goal of the Christian life is perfect imitation of God. The apostle John said that one day, “we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.” So, really, the whole of the Christian life is summed up right here: be imitators…
Reading Time: < 1 minute Sometimes when Christians don’t have inner peace (*raises hand*), it’s because they’re living two lives: talking about Jesus during the day, and getting smashed at night. Assembling on Sunday, and stealing on Monday. The ultimate problem is that they’re clinging to the deeds of the flesh from their pre-Christian days, and unwilling to leave it all behind. Sometimes burning bridges behind us is entirely profitable. When Elijah found Elisha and…
Reading Time: 2 minutes My friend Justyna was talking to me about how sometimes Christians focus a ton on being right—and it is good to be accurate—but only so that they can point out where others are wrong. For a Christian, there are basically three types of judging: Number 3 is nominal. It’s observation coupled with loving action. We should remember that the kingdom of God is not a matter of being right and…
Reading Time: 2 minutes “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

Reading Time: < 1 minute There are so many regrets that I have, and so many wrongs that I wish that I could undo, but I can’t. And today I got a notification on Facebook: she’s having her birthday in 4 days! But she passed away just recently. I cared for her a lot, and she shaped my ideals of what a good woman is like. I cannot wait for eternity to truly set in. …
Reading Time: 3 minutes They don’t believe that there is an immaterial soul which exercises causal power on material reality. All that you are, therefore, is your body (including your brain). Since the brain, as a physical object, follows the laws of physics and chemistry, then your thoughts/decisions must also follow the laws of physics and chemistry.
Reading Time: < 1 minute Rancid was poor.
But he taught the best lesson.
Reading Time: < 1 minute “If you want to go fast – go alone. If you want to go far – go together.”
Reading Time: < 1 minute Bitterness is the alcoholism of the emotional realm. Don’t use it to try to feel better.
Reading Time: < 1 minute Some people dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them. Recently my mentor/hero/friend Luke Wilson accomplished some awesome physical goals, and I was wondering why people even in the military fail such goals. At the same time, I was thinking about much Luke has done in the lives of others, taking care of them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We accomplish much when we are resolute; when we “set our faces.” The…
