What does the Bible say about the length of our days? It says are days are short. Here’s the Bible on the shortness of life: Job 8:9 “For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.” Psalm 39:4-5 “O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure […]
What explains the contradiction of humanity? Hospitals and especially children’s hospitals are a testimony to the beauty and brokenness of our world. Humanity is capable of amazing feats structurally and scientifically. We build edifices and index illnesses. . We build this collectively in community. Because we are mightier together.

Theologically what is the difference between self-confidence and pride? Self-confidence God does gift individuals. And it is good to acknowledge that truth. The manager in Jesus’ parable that invested his talents and earned a good return for the owner had to have a type of confidence (Matt. 25:14-30). Further, God created us as a “work […]

And if God created us, who or what created God? Panspermia Some have speculated that we got here through panspermia or even directed panspermia.[1] Panspermia is […]
Is the world enchanted? Or merely natural? Deterministic? Are we just chemical processes that have been wound up and will wind down? Or, is there a “ghost in the machine”? Is there something before and beyond? Can everything be coolly explained or is there the Unexplainable? Could it be that fantasy and fiction are tapping […]
Is there meaning to this madness? Is it just a rat race and then nothing but a cold, silent, and rotten end? Do we live for a mere inscription on a tomb? An inscription that will inevitably fade with the passage of time? Seneca Said, “When you see a man often wearing the robe of […]
