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.

What Stayed with Me After the Last Page
This time, it is another book that resonates so deeply in my soul that it took me days to fully process everything that it carries. The cases presented in the books really capture the injustice, the betrayal and the pain of the people. The cases not only moved me but also put me in the shoes of the victims. I felt every wound and the bitter truth presented in the book.

The Porn Experiment: What Happens to Your Brain on Porn?. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Imagine a substance that could deliver an instant rush of pleasure, available 24/7 at the click of a button. It’s free, anonymous, and promises an escape from stress, boredom, or loneliness. This isn’t a new street drug; it’s internet pornography. And your brain processes it in a way that is both fascinating and alarming. Welcome to the unseen neurological experiment you’ve been conducting every time you watch.

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.

Truth Demands Proof
I saw a post on Facebook where a man shared a letter he had sent to his elected officials calling for the impeachment of the sitting president. He claimed that the offenses were “so obvious” and “so well documented” that he did not even need to include them. That single assumption captured everything wrong with modern political thinking. When someone says “the reasons are obvious,” what they often mean is that they cannot defend them. Emotional conviction replaces evidence. The appearance of certainty replaces truth itself.
