There comes a moment when you realize that the life you have left is not an endless stretch of days but a finite, fragile gift. It is not owed to you. It is not guaranteed. It is placed in your hands like something borrowed, something entrusted, something meant to be used with intention. Because the present moment is the only place where grace actually meets you. God does not dwell in your regrets about yesterday or your anxieties about tomorrow. God meets you in the now, inviting you to live the life you still have with courage, tenderness, and purpose.

There’s a whole testimony tucked inside those two words, “God did.” It’s the kind of statement you only make after you’ve lived through something that should have broken you — but didn’t. It’s the kind of phrase people say when they look back and realize, “I didn’t get myself through that — God did.” It’s a faith that looks backward and forward at the same time.

There’s a quiet strength in that sentence — the kind of strength that doesn’t come from denial or bravado, but from trust. When you say, “I have God, I’ll be okay,” you’re echoing the same posture that carried David into the valley, sustained Paul in prison, and steadied Jesus in Gethsemane. It’s the kind of confidence that comes from knowing you’re not walking alone. You’re not walking into anything alone.

Australia’s national ban on social media for kids under 16 began on December 10, 2025. This is when the law officially took effect, and platforms were required to block under‑16 users or face major penalties. While the results have been mixed, other countries are now considering similar bans. Should the U.S. be one of them? Please share your thoughts about this article in the “Comments” section.

There is growing support for “Medicare for All” as a “solution” to the U.S. healthcare crisis. This concept was born in 2003 when Rep. John Conyers first introduced the earliest bill explicitly named and structured as Medicare for All. Does this option move the needle in addressing the current healthcare crisis in the U.S.?

This is one of C.S. Lewis’s most piercing insights, and it names something most people feel long before they can articulate it: the ache that nothing in this world fully satisfies. So if you find in yourself a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most reasonable explanation is that you were made for something beyond this world. In spiritual direction, this is often called holy restlessness — the interior movement that keeps you from settling for lesser loves or shrinking your life to what is merely comfortable.

This verse from Colossians 3:15 is one of the most balanced, powerful calls to Christian living — and when you speak it, it sounds like a charge to the whole community. Paul isn’t offering a suggestion. He’s issuing a command that reshapes the whole Christian life: “Let the peace of God rule in your hearts… and be thankful.” Gratitude is not an accessory to peace — it’s the engine of it.

The gospel reading for the Fifth Sunday of Lent is the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus didn’t raise Lazarus as a random display of power. He did it for two grieving sisters who needed to know that the One standing before them wasn’t just a healer but the Christ, the One who holds life itself. Please share your thoughts about this article in the “Comments” section.

Nothing can separate you from God’s love — not your past, not your wounds, not your doubts, not your darkest night. When you say “nothing,” you’re echoing the entire arc of Scripture — from the God who walked with Adam in the garden, to the God who pursued Israel in exile, to the Christ who descended into death itself to reach us. It’s the story of a God who refuses to let distance have the final word.

Immigration can impact the culture of our country. There is strength in our differences, but a lack of assimilation can negatively impact our culture. With the dramatic rise in illegal immigration during the Biden years, the question of assimilation is on the table. What is the right “balance” to strengthen the culture of our society?
