As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
Former atheist “McGrath sees how much desire determines what we believe about the universe. He says, ‘The human desire for unaccountability leads to the metaphysical conclusion that there should not be a God.’” - TGC
“Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the Sanhedrin together, and were saying, ‘What are we doing? For this man is doing many signs. If we let Him go on like this, all will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.’” (John 11:45–48, LSB)
“Gavin Ortlund explores whether Christians can believe in ghosts, offering a biblical perspective that challenges pop-culture ideas while taking the supernatural seriously.” - TruthUnites
“The transhumanist vision, then, entails that prior to our death, our patterns will be uploaded to a computer. Then we’ll exist for some time as digital code before our patterns are downloaded into new, better bodies. The parallels to Christian eschatology are striking.” - TGC
“ ‘While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.’ One reason is because we’re sinners. Another is because the average person wouldn’t imagine that happiness could be found in God.” - Alcorn
“Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty. If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.” - Imaginative Conservative
“Over a century ago… young Francis Griffiths and her cousin took pictures of fairies dancing in the forest. What began as the imagination of little girls turned into an international sensation known as the Cottingley Fairies incident of 1920.” - Breakpoint
I first heard the phrase “rugged individualism” not in a history book but on the radio. Like many Americans of my Gen‑X generation, I instinctively associate the term with Rush Limbaugh—his booming voice, his snarky confidence, his emphasis on personal responsibility, self‑reliance, and independence from government. All these years, “rugged individualism” functioned in my mind as shorthand for talk‑radio conservatism, often set against concerns about government over-reach, compassion and the common good.
“Whether or not human beings are exceptional is one of the most important questions of our age. Either we have unique value and moral responsibilities, or we are just another animal in the forest, and if that is how we perceive ourselves, it is precisely how we will act.act.” - Humanize
“I do need to go to God’s Word. It will act as a mirror to show me my true reflection, one very different than what I would like to see. Scripture tells me that I’m a sinner, and that sin brings death. Sin, the original killer of happiness, is not my solution; it’s my problem.” - Randy Alcorn
