A Perspective on Death and Eternity
Last updated on: November 22, 2022 at 10:28 am By Richard E. Simmons III
I think that the one individual who has had the greatest impact on my personal perspective of death and eternity is C.S. Lewis. As I have examined Lewis’ life, what strikes me is that not only did he have a great intellect, but his Christian faith was a living reality in his life. It was […] Read more

Fearing the Truth
Last updated on: November 10, 2022 at 11:44 am By Richard E. Simmons III
There is an interesting verse in II Thessalonians 2:10, where Paul speaks of those people who will spiritually perish because they refused to love the truth. In another passage we are told that Jesus performed many convincing signs and miracles, yet so many of the people refused to believe in Him. (John 12:37) It seems […] Read more

Finding Contentment
Last updated on: November 3, 2022 at 12:52 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
There is an intriguing quote that I often share with men as they struggle with life. It comes from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist John Cheever who said, “The main emotion of the adult American who has all the advantages of wealth, education and culture is disappointment.” I think a lot of us over time begin […] Read more

The Most Obvious Fact of Life
Last updated on: October 27, 2022 at 11:45 am By Richard E. Simmons III
Over the last twenty years, Time magazine has had three cover stories on the pursuit of happiness. In each of these editions they were not examining how happy we have become, but commenting on the rise of unhappiness and discontentment among us. In one of the older but still relevant articles, Geoffrey Cowley quoted psychologist […] Read more

Finishing the Fourth Quarter
Last updated on: October 14, 2022 at 12:03 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
So many of the men I work with are in the third or fourth quarter of life. I was recently reading Psalm 90 and came across these words from the Psalmist: “As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, or if due to strength eighty years, yet their pride is but labor […] Read more

Last updated on: September 30, 2022 at 1:21 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
