The Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall: The “Too Big” Structure That Has Cosmologists Squinting
I’ve always loved astronomy. Inspired by the original Star Wars movie (now called Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope) as a little kid, I could stare up at the night sky and feel two things at the same time: incredibly small and strangely steady. For a short while, I even wanted to be an astronomer when I grew up. That said, I haven’t always kept up on astronomical news over the decades like I probably should. I just…
Who Was Thomas Watson and Why Should Modern Christians Read Him?
The Theology of Thomas Watson Series: Part 1 The Puritans should be required reading for every serious Christian. Men like John Owen, Jonathan Edwards, Stephen Charnock, Richard Sibbes, John Bunyan, and Jeremiah Burroughs have a way of cutting through spiritual fog and forcing us to deal honestly with God, sin, and eternity. They were not writing to entertain or impress, but to shepherd souls. Out of all of the Puritans, Thomas Watson has become my personal favorite, and over time,…
A 26-Week Bible Reading Plan for Christians Who Are Done Making Excuses
26-Week, 6-Month Bible-Reading Plan I’ve noticed something over the years, both in my own life and in conversations with other believers. Most Christians genuinely want to be in the Word of God. They believe the Bible is inspired. They believe it matters. They believe it shapes faith, obedience, courage, and endurance. And yet, many of us drift. Not because we stopped believing, but because life gets crowded. Schedules fill up. Attention gets fractured. Good intentions never quite turn into daily…
The Basics We Abandoned and Must Recover
There are moments when the Christian life does not need new strategies, new language, or new platforms. It needs repentance. It needs clarity. It needs men to stop drifting and return to the ground they once stood on with conviction. Many Christian men today are busy, informed, and distracted. We read articles, watch clips, debate issues, and follow leaders. Yet for all our activity, many of us have quietly left the basics behind. We still believe the right things, but…
The Future of Christianity in the West: Why Persecution Is Rising and How Believers Must Stand Firm
Introduction: The Shifting Cultural Landscape If you pay attention to what is happening around us, you can sense the ground moving under your feet. It almost feels like the West went from casual indifference toward Christianity to open irritation in the span of less than a generation. The ideas that once shaped our laws, our families, our schools, and even our sense of morality are no longer welcome at the public table. The same Gospel that lifted the Western world…
Christian Men Need to Stop Blaming Culture, and Start Blaming Their Own Unfaithfulness
Christian men everywhere are pointing fingers. They complain about the government, the school system, the music industry, the media, the universities, the younger generations, and every political opponent they can name. “Things just aren’t the way they were 20-30 years ago!” They shake their heads. They rant on social media. They talk about how the world has fallen apart. They keep shouting about the decline of morality in the culture. And while they are busy complaining, their own spiritual lives…
The Kind of Woman a Godly Man Should Pursue
Most single Christian men feel the weight of this question at some point. “What kind of woman should I be looking for?” It is one of the biggest decisions a man can make under the authority of Christ. I remember sitting with older brothers in the faith years ago, asking them to help me think through this. I had bad relationship after bad relationship, and I did not want to drift into marriage while blind to character. I wanted a…
Sit With The Christian Warriors. The Conversation’s Different.
Most men drift toward crowds that make them feel comfortable. I know I did when I was younger. I would sit with guys who shared my hobbies, my humor, or my surface-level interests. We talked about sports, jobs, politics, movies, gear, cars, hunting, fishing, and whatever garbage drama we were frustrated with that week. It felt normal and it felt easy. But the older I got, and the more I walked with Christ, the more I started to realize something.…
Strongest Atheist Claims Unraveled By One Honest Question
When One Honest Question Unravels the Strongest Atheist Claims Every believer has been there. You are talking with a skeptical friend, and they throw out a confident one-liner about why Christianity is supposedly irrational. These lines often sound airtight at first. They come packaged in certainty, sprinkled with a little science, philosophy, or personal conviction. But when you dig into them, many of these objections collapse under the weight of one simple question or one piece of evidence that cannot…
Why Modern Motivational Speakers Get It Wrong About Inner Strength
Most of us hear the same message every time we scroll through our feeds. Believe in yourself. Trust your own strength. Look deeper within. You already have everything you need. It sounds inspiring on the surface. It feels like you are being handed a key to unlock potential and confidence. A lot of men grab on to it because life feels heavy. They want something that promises strength and control. But here is the problem. That entire message is built…
Why Men Need Awe Again
Most men live with their heads down. Bills to pay. Deadlines to meet. Kids to raise. A body that feels more tired than it used to. A phone that never stops buzzing. It is no wonder so many Christian men feel spiritually flat. We live in a world that steals awe from us. Awe is not some poetic luxury. Awe is fuel for the masculine soul. When a man loses his sense of wonder, he slowly becomes a shadow of…
The Difference Between a “Good” Man and a Godly Man
The topic of “masculinity” has been hot on the minds and lips of many in the past couple of years, thanks in part to liberal media and culture trying to completely obliterate the definitions of what “men” and “women” are. In response, secular conservative culture has pushed back with some traditional views of what the male members of the human species are – strong providers who are good at physical things. The world is full of men who look strong…
Why Scripture Warns Us About Rejecting Christ
One of the most unpopular truths in the Bible is also one of the clearest. God tells us that rejecting Jesus is not a small decision. Not everyone will be saved. It carries an eternal weight. The stakes could not be higher. When you read the New Testament with an honest heart, you run into this message again and again. Jesus did not leave the door open to a dozen different spiritual paths. He said in John 14:6, “I am…
Why Every Christian Still Needs a Physical Bible
We live in a world where almost everything lives on a screen. That includes Scripture. I praise God for the many solid Bible apps that help us stay connected to the Word when I’m “out and about,” on busy days, or while traveling. They are useful tools. But they do not replace the need to own and regularly use a physical, printed Bible. Every single believer still needs one. Here are five reasons why. 1. A Physical Bible Helps You…
How to Know the Holy Spirit Is Leading You, and Not Your Own Feelings
Every Christian wants to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. The problem is that many confuse emotional impulses with divine direction. You feel something deeply, doors seem to open, or peace floods your heart, and you assume God must be behind it. But feelings are fickle. The Spirit of God is not. The question is not whether God still leads His people. He does. The question is how He does it. Scripture gives us clear ways to discern His…
What Should Christians Think About Self-Defense and War?
Is it biblical for a Christian to defend themselves or their loved ones from harm? This question has sparked considerable debate within the church, from the early apostles to modern believers. On one hand, Scripture calls us to be peacemakers and to “turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5:39). On the other hand, the Bible also affirms the sanctity of life and portrays godly people taking up arms to protect the innocent. How do we reconcile the call to love our…
8 Things You Can Do To Turn Away Your Wife or Girlfriend
Most men do not wreck a relationship with one dramatic moment. They do it slowly. Quietly. One small compromise at a time. Repeatedly. You drift from Christ, drift from responsibility, and drift from love and leadership. A woman feels that drift long before a man ever notices it. One of the things I often teach men is the idea of Interest Level. It is simply the measure of how much she is drawn towards him, respects him, and how cherished…
When Churches Entertain Instead of Exegete
I have watched a troubling shift take place in churches across North America. Many pastors no longer see the careful, patient, week-after-week exposition of Scripture as the main task of Sunday worship. Instead of revering the inerrant, perfect, sufficient Holy Word of God, and opening the text and explaining what God has said, they are instead more concerned about creating an atmosphere. They craft an experience. They build a service that feels exciting, motivational, or emotionally charged. The fog machines…
Discipleship Isn’t Optional: Why Every Christian Man Needs to Be Trained for Battle
When Jesus calls a man to follow Him, He does not invite him into a life of comfort or casual Christianity. He gives a clear and costly command. In Luke 9:23, our Lord says, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” That is not a suggestion. It is the daily call to every single Christian man. The Christian life is not passive. It is not something you drift…
The Best Books on Men’s Ministry: A Practical Guide for Church Leaders
If you care about men’s ministry, you already know this: when you reach the men, you reach marriages, kids, and the whole culture of a church. That is not clever marketing talk. It is simply what we see all over Scripture and church history. There’s a saying: “As men go, the church goes.” When men repent, bow to Christ, and start leading in humility and love, everything changes around them. Because that is true, you do not want to guess…
