Opinion

Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson’s quest for immortality, fueled by cutting-edge science and millions of dollars annually, highlights humanity’s ongoing struggle to control the uncontrollable. Despite his relentless efforts, his health setbacks serve as a stark reminder that no amount of wealth or technology can guarantee security in a fragile world. This reflection draws parallels to biblical warnings against idolatry—placing ultimate trust in human creations rather than God—and underscores the urgent need for repentance and reliance on divine strength in uncertain times.

Taylor Swift has been one of the biggest cultural icons for nearly two decades, using her music and lyrics to connect with millions of fans. But as her influence has grown, so has her message, which now leans heavily into the ideas of the sexual revolution—questioning traditional views on marriage, faith, and what it means to be a woman. While her songs resonate with many, the timeless vision of the Bible offers a more hopeful and fulfilling picture of love, relationships, and human worth, one that has stood the test of time and proven to truly uplift women and society.

Sir Anthony Hopkins is one of the most well-known actors of our time. For years, he was a well-known atheist, too.

Second Lieutenant Thomas V. Kelly Jr.’s story and the recent discovery of his remains are powerful reminders of the sacrifices made for freedom. Amid growing political and social divides, unity, love, and devotion to shared values stand as essential ways to honor the legacy of those who gave their lives for the nation. Drawing inspiration from history, scripture, and timeless wisdom, there’s a call to foster unconditional love and reconciliation, bringing healing to a fractured society and renewing a commitment to the principles that bind us together.
Posted: November 19, 2024, 12:55 pm
Two hurricanes recently sparked polarized reactions, with some pointing to climate change as undeniable proof of human-caused disasters and others claiming the storms were engineered by nefarious forces. These responses reveal a common thread: humanity’s tendency to overestimate its control over nature. Modernity fosters this illusion, yet the reality is far different. The story of Job and insights from thinkers like Craig Gay highlight the truth—this world, though broken by humanity, remains under the care of a sovereign Creator. Embracing our limitations and trusting in God’s sovereignty offers peace in a world we were never meant to control.
Posted: November 19, 2024, 12:40 pm
Slavery, abortion, and same-sex marriage are some of the most divisive issues in our culture today, and understanding how to respond to them through the lens of Scripture reveals God’s design for humanity and His call to love. These challenges remind us to respond with dignity, grace, and biblical truth rooted in love for God and our neighbors. By praying, advocating, and sharing hope, believers can shine as peacemakers, bringing unity and light to a world burdened by sin and division.
Posted: November 18, 2024, 7:30 pm
In the wake of recent elections, cultural divisions in America are deepening. Many women are joining the 4B movement, which started in South Korea and stands for rejecting marriage, dating, childbirth, and sex, as a way to protest gender inequality. At the same time, some are even considering extreme options like a four-year cruise to escape the current political climate. These trends highlight the growing divide in a nation once united by shared ideals like liberty and community. Today, individualism often takes priority over the collective good, leaving many feeling disconnected. Real unity, though, starts with something deeper—loving God fully and letting that love flow to others. Only then can we begin to heal the brokenness around us.
Posted: November 18, 2024, 12:50 pm
People who call themselves “spiritual but not religious” are more likely to struggle with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues compared to those with traditional religious beliefs. The popular idea of looking inward to “find yourself” might sound empowering, but it often leads to feelings of emptiness and stress. Christianity, on the other hand, offers a better way to live by helping us embrace our God-given limits, find meaning in community, and rest in God’s truth. Instead of being a burden, faith brings freedom, purpose, and peace.
Posted: November 18, 2024, 12:25 pm
With the Republican party in control of both the presidency and Congress, attention has shifted to President-elect Trump’s controversial cabinet picks and his call for potential recess appointments to bypass Senate approval. While Trump’s suggestion highlights a constitutional tool, it also raises concerns about the ethics and practicality of circumventing legislative scrutiny. The discussion underscores a broader lesson: distinguishing between what we can do and what we should do, both in governance and in our walk with God.
