by Thomas Ertl, The Unz Review: When it comes to political opinions and commentary, there are times where one must review past analysis with honesty and self-criticism, admitting errors. Admitting mistakes can clean the slate and give the commentator a new start. Thus, this article is my attempt to redeem my former assessments. In the […]

“My mantra for this record is, ‘Could AI have come up with it?’ If the answer is yes, then I ditch it”: Why Steven Wilson’s new album is designed to be slightly shambolic

Here are seven things strong Christian men do differently.

Joy follows obedience. Whatever you need to lay down today, God promises His presence and peace in return.

Biblical love and human love are two different things.

Faith is like a muscle in our bodies. We are given all we will ever need at the point of our salvation, but if we don’t often use or exercise that muscle, it will become weak and ineffective.Jesus said faith the size of a mustard seed could move mountains (Matthew 17:20). Yet, if we want that minuscule-sized faith to move mountain-sized objects or circumstances, we need to strengthen it by using it in the small things so it grows to conquer the big things.In a parable in Matthew 25, Jesus said if we are “faithful in a few things” we will be given more (verse 21 NIV). He also said, “For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have [or, does not use what one has], even what they have will be taken from them” (verse 29). I believe that applies to our faith as well as our gifts and talents. As you and I exercise faith in the little things, then we will be in tip-top faith shape for the bigger things.If your faith is sagging a bit from not using or exercising it, it might be time for a faith lift. Here are seven small habits to build your faith.Photo Credit: ©GettyImages/RomoloTavani

Have you ever found yourself standing at the crossroads of your faith journey, staring at the signposts of delays? Well, fear not, fellow travelers, for in these detours lie the hidden gems of growth and resilience.Navigating delays in our faith journey can be akin to waiting for a train that's running a tad late. It's not always the most comfortable experience, and impatience can start knocking on the door of our hearts. However, just like a delayed train brings with it unexpected moments and encounters, so does our spiritual journey during delays.Delays are necessary for building resilience into the fabric of our faith. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." This wisdom serves as a comforting companion when delays threaten to derail our plans.We must understand that as we traverse the landscape of our faith journey, encountering delays is an opportunity for self-reflection and introspection. It's a chance to align our desires with God's timing, acknowledging that His plans may not always align with our hurried expectations.However, Romans 8:28 offers solace in this, assuring us that "all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."Understand that delays are not roadblocks; they are stepping stones. They provide us with the gift of time, a precious commodity often overlooked in our fast-paced lives. Psalm 27:14 encourages us to "Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!" During delays, we learn the art of waiting with purpose, trusting that God's timing is impeccable.So, the next time delays greet you on your faith journey, remember that it's an invitation to embrace the scenic detours, savor the unexpected moments, and grow in the quiet spaces between "now" and "next." Our faith journey isn't a race against time; it's a walk hand-in-hand with the Creator of time.Photo Credit: ©GettyImages/RichLegg
