The Death Of Dialogue
The End Of Listening Once upon a time, disagreement was not a threat. It was a bridge. People could sit across from one another, share convictions, challenge ideas, and still part as neighbors. The goal was not domination but discovery. Somewhere along the way, that changed.

Christ Is King
Every culture has a throne. The only question is who sits on it. Some people crown themselves. Others crown society. Still others crown the government, or money, or pleasure. But someone or something always rules the human heart. The idea of living without a king is an illusion, because every human being worships something.

The War on Order
We live in a time when doing the right thing often feels like an act of rebellion. When honesty can ruin a career. When decency is mocked as naïve. When standing for truth invites hatred, censorship, and isolation. Somehow, the people who uphold virtue have become the villains in the story of modern culture.

The Death of “Live and Let Live”
There was a time when “live and let live” actually meant something noble. It meant respecting each other’s differences, coexisting in peace, and not forcing our personal views onto our neighbors. It meant freedom of conscience, speech, and thought. It meant that the person next to you didn’t have to believe what you believed for both of you to live decent, peaceful lives.

The Happiness Trap: You're Programmed to Chase, Not Catch. AI-Generated.
You finally get the promotion. You buy the car you’ve been eyeing for years. You reach your goal weight. For a moment, a brilliant flash of joy erupts. But within days, sometimes hours, the feeling fades. The new title feels normal, the car is just a car, and the scale reading is just a number. A quiet emptiness creeps back in, and your mind, restless, immediately scans the horizon for the next target. The next achievement, the next purchase, the next milestone that will surely—this time—be the one that delivers lasting happiness.

The Lantern of Forgiveness
The Lantern of Forgiveness In the quiet desert town of Taif, long ago, there lived a man named Kareem. He was known for his strength and bold voice in the marketplace, but his heart carried an old wound — anger. Years ago, a close friend had betrayed him in a business deal, leaving him poor and humiliated. Since then, Kareem vowed never to forgive anyone who wronged him.

When Advice Felt Like Arrows: A Story of Dignity in Hard Times
Introduction: When Words Wound Instead of Heal It started with a well-meaning text from a friend: “You just need to stay positive. Everything happens for a reason.” I stared at the screen, exhausted, eyes swollen from a night of crying, and wondered—how can something meant to comfort feel so piercing?

You Were Made for This
We live in a world that constantly tries to define us by what we have, what we do, or what we look like. Expectations pile up, comparisons wear us down, and before long we forget who we really are. But God never called us to live by the world’s standards. He called us to live by His truth. You were created intentionally, designed for a purpose that no one else can fulfill. The same God who spoke galaxies into motion also spoke your name with love and purpose. No matter what season you are in, no matter what you have been through, God can and will use you right where you are.

The Humility That Preserves Truth
A friend recently said something to me that caught me off guard. After having a civil disagreement between us, he offered me a pretty humbling compliment. He conceded some ground and stated that he often has to remind himself that a person can love Jesus deeply, think carefully, and still disagree with him.
