Does religion make people happier? As writer and university teacher Stephen Cranney reported in 2024, the studies and literature on the connections of health, well-being, and religious practice are vast and demonstrate overwhelmingly that those active in a faith are generally happier than non-believers or those not involved in a religious community.

Do historical objects matter? Are ancient artifacts anything more than old scraps of paper, moth-eaten fragments of fabric, or rusty hunks of metal? In frenetic modern life, with its emphasis on the now and the brand new, most people are more concerned with owning the latest iPhone than owning some relic of the past. But that’s a mistake.

Many of the most recent and insidious acts of far-left violence have been carried out by ideological refugees. These were true believers, people who bought into the transgender ideology peddled to them. Tragically, because they believed it, they acted on it. Most did great damage to their minds, many did irreversible damage to their bodies,

Paul writes plainly in 2 Corinthians 11:14: “No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” This isn’t a metaphor. It’s a real warning. Satan doesn’t come dressed in red carrying a pitchfork. He comes dressed in white, speaking convincingly about holiness and truth. His dark disguise is counterfeit light. The Myth Worth

During a recent move, I came across a copy of a 2021 letter I’d sent to my grandchildren.

Although one who enjoys a healthy amount of popular culture, I have moved beyond the hope that network television or streaming media is going to purposefully depict Christian philosophical or theological concepts accurately. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised when watching season two of “The Pitt,” HBO’s hit series. There has been plenty of discussion as

Dress for Success, Not for Chili’s0
Several years ago, I joined some friends on a trip to Mackinac Island, a place famous for its Victorian culture and ban on automobiles. After bicycling around the island, we decided to splurge and have tea at The Grand Hotel, which is as polished as its name sounds. Before trooping in for tea, however, we

In the literary world, postmodernism was a movement defined by cynicism, absurdism, satire, and irony. At some point, it stopped being a tool with which to diagnose the culture and became the personality of our culture. It crept into our conversations, our art, our politics, and eventually into the way we talk to those we

“Failure is one of God’s educators,” writes William George Jordan in his 1898 book, “The Majesty of Calmness.” I agree, but with this exception: You actually must sit in that classroom, eyes and ears open, notebook at the ready. Too often politicians and many other Americans are asleep or cutting class during that lesson. Which
