Meaning of Life

“…here’s what Ecclesiastes wants us to think about more deeply: Life is good. Life is short, and life is good. It’s not an either/or. It’s a both/and. And what makes your short life good is the grace of God giving your life to you, moment by moment.” - Ray Ortlund

“We know that the world we’re living in is falling apart. We know that the digital age we were born into isn’t working. And so we long.

“The most interesting thing about Johnson isn’t that he previously used injections of his son’s blood in an attempt to stay young.

“My project, a story for another day, is large and demanding. Depending on when you ask, you might find me thinking that it could be my finest contribution yet or that I have finally and utterly overestimated the degree to which my peculiar intellectual passions have any significance at all and should quit while there is still time to pivot to something actually useful.” - IFWE

“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
