Your disposition as a Christian in the face of evil and it's consequences should be one of radical humility. If not for Jesus Christ, your fate would be the same.
Again, you have no right to boast or to be prideful, it is Jesus that saved you, not your works, not your goodness.
On Friday May 19th, 2023, Dr. Timothy Keller Passed.
I wrote a tribute to the man who reached both my head and my heart and taught me about Christ's abundant love and the freeing way we must now live our lives in total submission and devotion to him.

You have to be excessively delusional to see all that the apostles went through and conclude that the Christian faith is about material prosperity. They could die like this rejoicing because their hope was not in anything this world can offer — For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
That’s because you rate your self esteem higher than your God given identity and verdict over your life.
Not every disrespect deserves a response. Sometimes leave it alone.
One of the most heartbreaking things about grief is the time that passes and forces you to forget.
What a deep pain to feel like memories are slipping away, the betrayal that this fistful of ash is going to slip through your fingers as well.
It’s terrifying and frustrating.
Jesus.
Nothing else can satisfy a man.
If you take what the world has offered
You will have to come again, again and again
With just one drink of his living water
You never thirst again
Only Jesus can satisfy your heart
Only Jesus can satisfy your soul
The things in this world were never designed to satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. At best, they are placebo, they never really heal, they never really fill, and they never really satisfy.
You must anchor your life on the biggest truth of all eternity: Jesus Christ.
