Got some tension in your relationships? This perspective shift may be just what you need.

Dry patches and what to do about them

September 21, 2017September 20, 2017 / Matthew Ruttan / Leave a comment

If you believe in the God of the Bible, you know it’s important to cultivate your relationship with him. But it’s not always easy. Dry patches come and try to expand their real estate in your soul. And you’re not quite sure how to beat them back. If you can relate to this, here’s some advice. … Continue reading Dry patches and what to do about them

In spite of you

September 20, 2017September 19, 2017 / Matthew Ruttan / Leave a comment

Think God can't save or use you because you always mess up and are imperfect? Think again.

Crying out for a divine explanation

September 19, 2017September 17, 2017 / Matthew Ruttan / 1 Comment

Does God even exist? I personally think that’s the one question that changes everything. Are we here on purpose, or by chance? Is there something after death, or not?

Are faith and reason opposites?

September 16, 2017September 15, 2017 / Matthew Ruttan / Leave a comment

Recently I was talking to someone who told me he was an atheist. “I’m just too rational to believe in God,” he said. “That’s interesting,” I replied. “I’m a really rational person too. That’s why I believe in God.” I felt it was important to say because there’s a myth out there that reason is … Continue reading Are faith and reason opposites?

September 13, 2017September 12, 2017 / Matthew Ruttan / Leave a comment

Yesterday I said that life was unpredictable and short, and that all of us are one heartbeat away from meeting our Maker. (Not to be morbid, but it’s true!) Because of that, getting right with God is our number 1 job. But today, I’d like to talk about something else along the same vein: Prioritizing … Continue reading Prioritizing key relationships

151,600 people every day

All of us are one heartbeat from meeting our Maker. So this is the #1 thing you need to figure out, especially in this world of distraction.

Then your schedule makes you

September 9, 2017September 8, 2017 / Matthew Ruttan / Leave a comment

Every September I’m reminded of the fact that it’s New Year’s. You’re right. There are no fireworks or midnight countdowns—just work schedules, school bags, and hockey practice.
