God’s Cocoon and Life’s Greatest Lesson
Happy New Year everyone. May God richly bless you in 2026.
The older I get the more friends I see pass into eternity. I also pray for more people with life-threatening conditions. You may be aware that well-known political pundit Victor Davis Hanson had major surgery this past weekend. We are asking God to give him more years of “imparting wisdom.”
I, too, am facing a new physical challenge (related to my autoimmune system). These physical “tests” in the last chapters of earthly life remind me of “Life’s Greatest Lesson.”
Here’s what I mean.
Make the Bible Your Final Authority
I grew up in a church where the Bible wasn’t central. Both at home and in the pews, God’s Word wasn’t our primary source of truth.
After graduating from high school, I attended a “Christian” university in a nearby city. In one of my first classes called “Judeo-Christian Life and Thought,” the professor quietly but confidently proclaimed that “God was dead” and “the Bible was filled with many errors and historical myths.”
I ditched that college after a year and traveled to New Zealand where godly people taught me about the primacy of God’s Book–the Bible. Under their wise discipleship, I made it my “Book of books.”
Fifty-years later, God’s written Word is still my truth-seeking GPS in all things.
Make the Bible your final authority.
How to Wake Up to a Meaningful Life
On-line dictionaries define “woke” as being “alert to injustice or racism.” It really means politically correct/progressive which is a cover for Marxism-Socialism (e.g. the three founders of Black Lives Matter are avowed Marxists).
Woke Cancel Culture wants to rid America of its Christian heritage and principles–and is doing a pretty good job of it today.
I will never be “woke” because I love Jesus Christ, His purpose for America and nations, and my belief in Truth–the biblical worldview. And many years ago, I really woke up to a fabulously meaningful life.
You can too.
