Presence in the Refiner’s Fire

I have come to believe that it is our choice to be present— with our senses and our attention, with other people in their afflictions— that purifies our love into charity.

Ross G. Douthat

Why Everyone Should Be Religious

Even at the heights of scientific materialism, there has always been a strong argument contained within the work of science and what science has revealed for believing that the universe is not accidental—that the universe was fashioned, was made, was intended to exist.

Alexander Dushku

Choose Christ

Why choose Christ?  Because He is real!  He is the most real thing in this world.  He is “in all and through all things”—the “light and life” of the whole world, and of your individual world and mine.

“Settle This in Your Hearts”

With so many choices and alluring paths before you, it will require strength of heart and mind to boldly, without distraction or deception, “settle this in your heart” and walk the road less traveled toward the Savior.

“Ears to Hear”

Let us tune out the noise and focus on God. Find quiet time each day where you can turn to your Heavenly Father and pour out your soul to Him. And then listen, really listen with ears to hear what heaven wants to tell you.
