One of the most unbearable things about evil is that it often appears to prosper. It sits at the head of the table while truth eats alone. It laughs louder. It sleeps well. It gathers admirers. And the soul begins to ask its oldest question: Where is God? But perhaps that question mistakes silence for…

Jesus keeps setting tables in the strangest places. I know because I’ve stumbled into a few of them. A child’s bedroom where something sacred was being violated. A house full of secrets.

Deception is the oldest story in the book. It begins in a garden with a lie, and for many of us, it begins in childhood.

The chapter starts off with King Solomon talking to himself: “I said to myself, “Have fun and enjoy…
