It is a central choice for men to choose to think for themselves and not receive the label or identity given to them by the algorithms, employers, family members, and power-mongers given to them. You get to think for yourself and, even more importantly, think about your thoughts.

It is not who you know, what you accomplish, or how much you gather in this world that will ultimately matter. It is who YOU are.

You can grow your faith in 2024. Imagine yourself next year living with more peace, hope, and increased love towards God and other people.

How do we respond when we see suffering and evil around us? How do we square this with the idea of a good God?

"You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."

Ever hear people use a word all the time but wonder what they mean when they say it? Christians can be guilty of this. When we are not too sure what to say, we dig down into our bag of platitudes and drop this one in. As tempting as that may seem, our words really matter. In particular, when a church uses the word "gospel," it really matters what they mean.

Thank you, Tim Keller.
