Biology Reveals a Creation

by

For generations, we’ve been told science and Christianity are locked in a war for the soul of humanity. But what if they’re describing the same reality from different angles? Biology reveals a species unlike any other—one that plants trees for future generations, builds civilizations, and passes wisdom across centuries. Christianity offers an explanation: humans were created in the image of God and entrusted with a mission of stewardship. In a world drowning in information but starving for purpose, perhaps the question isn’t whether science or faith is right. Perhaps the question is why humans alone seem driven to leave the world better than they found it.

THE EVER BRIGHTER MARRIAGE–The Promises of Pain and Joy in Marriage

by

Architecture of a Godly Marriage–Will your marriage be a source of incredible joy, or a source of intolerable pain? In this eye-opening session of Dr. John Barnett’s Proverbs masterclass, we explore God’s unvarnished truth about the reality of marriage. God promises that if we follow His design, marriage is a profound blessing—but if we ignore His wisdom, we can easily destroy the joy in our homes.

The United States of Mammon

by

Most Americans would laugh at the idea of worshipping a golden calf. Then they spend forty years organizing their lives around debt, career advancement, asset accumulation, and the approval of “the economy.” Solomon warned that the borrower becomes servant to the lender. Jesus warned that no one can serve both God and Mammon. The old gods demanded temples, priests, and sacrifices. The modern god simply asks for your time, your attention, your family, your peace, and eventually your identity. The question isn’t whether modern society worships. The question is whether we’ve mistaken our servant for our master.

Name Them After Yourself

One day, as God was sitting in all of heaven’s sovereignty and sanctity and etherealness and stuff, little Randy came to visit.

Randy was the youngest angel trainee in the squad’s junior division. He had just graduated Angel Second Grade. He had freckles and missing front teeth. He hadn’t yet earned his halo. His wings hadn’t fully dropped yet.

Live Not By Lies: The Gulag Lesson America Forgot

by

“Socialism does not collapse because it runs out of money. It collapses because it runs out of truth. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn understood this better than almost anyone alive. The Soviet Union was not held together by productivity, innovation, or freedom. It was held together by fear and a mountain of compulsory lies. Citizens learned to repeat obvious nonsense simply to survive. Newspapers reported record harvests while shelves sat empty. The state called itself a workers’ paradise while millions disappeared into camps. As the Bible warns in The Bible, Satan is ‘the father of lies,’ and every authoritarian system follows the same blueprint: suppress truth, punish dissent, and force the population to publicly kneel before fiction. The gulag was not the beginning of the process. It was the final invoice.”

Dispatches Del Camino

The albergue looks like a mountain chalet. We are snugly situated deep within the Fonfaraón Mountains, which climb high into the Spanish sky, separating us from an entire civilization below the cloud line.

Here atop the world, the mountain peaks look like incarnations of the Appalachians, with a fuzzy, green carpet-like texture, rounded edges, and swooping valleys that gather pools of fog like a white lake.

We will be hiking this today.

Love That Goes the Distance | Audio Reading | Our Daily Bread Devotional | May 3, 2026

In Deuteronomy 11:13-21 we learn how God wants us to teach our children, instructing them in the ways of the Lord at all times. God is faithful in return, making it so our physical lives on this earth are sustained. When we eat we will be satisfied. 

The Blind Coonhound

by

My granddaddy said you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat a dog. Someone who treats a dog badly, is a bad person. A person who treats a dog with regard and deference is a good egg.

Right now, my wife is holding our blind coonhound, Marigold. She holds our rescue adoptee like a baby. Not like a dog.
