Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
The False Dilemma
The Mirage of Choice Every day, whether in politics, philosophy, or faith, people are pressured into false choices. You either believe this, or you must believe that. You either accept this statement entirely, or you reject truth altogether. These are not honest discussions. They are traps.

Planting Truth In Hostile Soil
The Calling To Plant There has never been an age where truth was loved by the crowd. From the prophets of Israel to the apostles of Christ, those who spoke truth have always done so against the wind. Yet each generation faces its own form of resistance. Ours is not built on swords or prisons, but on sarcasm and pride. It mocks what it cannot refute and ridicules what it cannot understand.

AI And Apologetics
The Tools of the Age Every generation faces the same question in a different form: how should faith engage with new tools of power? In one era it was the printing press. In another, the radio or television. Today, it is artificial intelligence.

The Mirror Of Mockery
The Nature Of The Mirror Mockery has become the native language of the modern world. It fills screens, floods comment sections, and echoes through every arena where ideas are exchanged. What once required substance now survives through sarcasm. To ridicule is easier than to reason.

The Logic of Faith: Why Reason Without God Collapses Under Its Own Weight
The Myth Of Neutral Logic Modern thinkers often claim that logic is neutral, belonging to no belief system and standing above faith. They insist that religion is emotional, while reason is empirical. But logic is not a freestanding structure. It rests on foundations, and those foundations must exist somewhere.

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.
