That line carries a deep spiritual truth, and it echoes something the early Church understood instinctively. Because humility is the one virtue that destroys pride at its root, and pride is the devil’s native language. But the evil one cannot imitate self‑emptying love, because humility belongs to God’s nature, not his. The devil flees because he has no foothold in a humble heart.
People often misunderstand and misapply the “separation of church and state” concept. The First Amendment’s freedom of religion clause protects every person’s right to practice their faith freely and shields that freedom from government interference. All too often, people view it as the elimination of “principles of faith” from public life. Please share your thoughts about this article in the “Comments” section.

A parable often shared during Lent tells of two horses. It’s not biblical and not tied to the historical book The Tale of Two Horses by Tschiffely —it’s simply a modern spiritual story that Christians often use during Lent because of its message about weakness, grace, and God’s ability to work through our flaws.

This sounds like one of those quiet, steadying words God speaks when your spirit is carrying more than you admit out loud. When God says “Don’t worry,” He’s not asking you to ignore reality. He’s reminding you that He’s already ahead of it. He’s already carved out the path you’re about to walk into. Your job is not to make the way — it’s to trust the One who already did.
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.
