I love the fact that God didn’t ask us to figure Him out. We can’t. Even living eternally with Him, I doubt we ever could—and we might not even want to try. As analytical Westerners, we naturally task ourselves to explain things like how God came to be, how He made the universe, and what the end of the world will

With so much to search in this vast non-world of the internet, there’s something we’ll never find because it’s just too big—too big for the internet, too big for all the brains of humanity, too big for everything, everywhere. Yet it’s the greatest search of all… The proper study of the Christian is the Godhead. The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest

One of my great discoveries in life was when I spent my day making life better for someone else, it was always a good day—and when I spent my day trying to make life better for me, I went to bed wondering if I’d really accomplished anything valuable at all. We were made for God, and it seems He

They are completely taken by Him, they do what He says because they love Him and they are thankful—really thankful. Like St. Bernard… What language shall I borrow to thank You, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity

A college professor once told a pompous student, “Young man, I suggest you plunge your finger into a bowl of water and remove it—the hole that remains will show you how significant you really are.” Our world is driven by the fleeting and superficial—people, ideas and things that pave the way to human insignificance, but it was never meant to

Jesus said. “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” “Love your enemy…” “Do good to those who hate you…” “Love one another as I have loved you.” “If you Love Me, you will obey what I command.” There’s your day. And the rest of your life. Any questions? —j

Here I sit, recovering from a bad bout with food poisoning where the food won the first round. When your guts ache, news-watching seemed all the more painful, especially the blind and trendy attacks on the simple Good News that Jesus saves souls. But the message, simple as it is, is powerful beyond measure and in no danger
