    True friendship endangered?
    Oct 14 2026
    Is it just me, or is friendship endangered? I’m not talking about surface-level acquaintances or social media “friends.” I’m talking about true, robust, I’m-there-for-you kind of friendships.

    Two are better than one

    In this specific season of your life
    Oct 7 2026
    Ecclesiastes 3 is a reminder that life has many different seasons and chapters: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…” (verse 1). In and through it all, God is God. He is our God through the good times, and also through the bad. He is our God when […]

    The antidote to drudgery
    Sep 28 2026
    There can be “seasons” to one’s faith. For example, it is often noted how new Christians have zeal. They are “on fire for the Lord”! That’s amazing. Sometimes it lasts. Sometimes it doesn’t.

    Sep 29 2026
    Everyone leaves some sort of legacy. What will yours be? In Ecclesiastes 2, the Teacher frets about this—a lot. He started to hate his job because his life’s work might be squandered by someone who came after him: “I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave […]

  • Calling God a liar?

    Calling God a liar?
    Oct 2 2026
    Let me say something bold. Hear me out, and then I’ll explain. To not believe in the effectiveness of prayer is to say that God is a liar. Woah, hold on. Who wants to call God a liar? Not me! And I’m sure you don’t want to do that either. However, the Bible—which is God’s […]
