He Remains Faithful
by Matt Caudle
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7. I have heard this verse a hundred different times as many of us have and in each time I read the verse or heard the verse preached, it was mentioned as a positive, an encouragement, to uplift. But this verse use to burden me and make me question... “Have I truly kept the faith?”
Oh God, I have been faithless at times.
Oh God, I have doubted You.
Oh God, I have questioned You.
Oh God, I do not understand why at times.
Oh God, why aren’t You answering me?
Oh God, where are You?
Thankfully, we serve a gracious and loving Father who stays true even through our doubts, our uncertainty, our faithlessness.
“If we are faithless, he remains faithful.” 2 Timothy 2:13
Oh God, forgive me.
Oh God, thank you.
Oh God, Your timing is perfect.
Oh God, You always knew.
Oh God, I wasn’t ready.
Oh God, You never left.
Like the story of the Prodigal Son, our great, merciful Father longs for us to come back if even for a moment our faith wavers and we question. God remains faithful. Glory be to God!

After the Apocalypse

Since I was young, I’ve had a fascination with zombies. Hordes of shambling undead filled the toy aisles and phone screens of my childhood. Plants vs. Zombies, The Walking Dead, and even Minecraft were global phenomena heavily featuring these green-skinned ghouls. Zombie fiction exploded in the 2010s, just as I was at that impressionable young age when all things horrible and gross became wonderfu...

On April 17, 1521, when the “fabled monk”[1] was asked to give a defense for the convictions within him, Martin Luther respectfully and famously said:Since then your serene majesties and your lordships seek a simple answer, I will give it in this manner, plain and unvarnished. . . . I am bound to the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not re...
Suffering.
May 4th, 2026
Suffering. Few things in this life will strip you to your core like suffering does. The book of Job is a story about perhaps one of the most seemingly cursed men in the Scriptures. Job lost his wealth and his family in a single day. He was struck with “loathsome sores” that covered his entire body. His wife abandoned him, telling him to “Curse God and die,” forcing him to face these challenges alo...
