If life is a quest for
the truth, there will be times when you will have to look at subjects you don’t
want to consider. Today, I find myself in that unfortunate position. I don’t
like thinking about Pope Francis I, and I really
don’t like thinking about Donald Trump. When the two of them buck heads,
though, I’m left with very little option other than to discuss it. It raises
spiritual questions that simply cannot be ignored.

Why Are We Happy?
Some themes run
throughout the Bible. You’ll come across it one place, sort of forget about it,
but then see it again somewhere else. Over time, those reminders from multiple perspectives
start to stick. If you see them often enough, they become more than
information. They can start to shape the way you think and live your life.

What is a United Heart?
A basic premise of Christianity is that we are fractured. Our
hearts are broken. On the one hand is the image of God, which is what we are
created to be. On the other is the enemy of God, which is what our selfishness
has made us. Both make up human nature, but both are at odds with each other.

Why Would God Condemn a Census?
Sometimes we avoid
difficult stories in the Bible, and that can be a problem. Now, it isn’t
always. There are occasions when they would just be a distraction, times when
people want to talk about an obscure passage because they do not want to face
the straightforward truths in different places. And other times, discussing
the esoteric is no more than a way to prove knowledge rather than
increasing wisdom.
