Should We Give at the Stoplight?

It’s sad to see people begging. It’s a reminder that we live in a fallen world and that there are people with real needs. But when it comes to seeing people begging, I almost always drive by without giving anything. But I also have to admit, I do feel a? […]

Hell: The Fairest Place of All

I know it sounds weird, but these last few weeks I’ve found that meditating on scriptural passages relating to both hell and God’s goodness is edifying. It’s helped me better understand both what hell is like and who God is. Meditating on hell has given me a greater awareness of […]
