The 1890s gave rise to the journalistic trope, if it bleeds, it leads. And news has never been the same since.

Some people say it’s foolish to pray to God and bother Him about our lost or misplaced items. But I’ve always believed God is interested in every detail of our lives, and asking for God’s help is never a bother to Him. Moreover, He’ll always be with us even if He doesn’t respond like we want Him to. My prayer had been consistent, almost hourly, “God, please help me find my ring.”

Politics is not the point of this article. What I’m writing about is the way a political figure—the President—recently opened the door to a subject weightier than any current political challenge. Trump raised an issue that should be of interest to any person even slightly warm to a theistic worldview: How do you get to heaven?

I still laugh when I recall Larry Crabb’s description of the worst sermon he ever heard. He said it was "delivered by a middle-aged man who made me think of a strutting peacock when he spoke." I can’t get that picture out of my head. It’s hilarious and cringey at the same time. Unfortunately, you don’t have to look far to discover that the American church is filled with strutting peacocks. And in full disclosure, I may have strutted a time or two during my preaching adolescence.

I’m getting older. And so are you. And I have a theory: The older I get; the faster time goes. Call it a hunch or a sneaking suspicion. I’m not suggesting it’s related to the theory of relativity or grounded in a study from Harvard Medical School. Instead, I’ll attempt a less sophisticated explanation of the speed of life. Here’s how I picture it: When the ball reaches the top of the roof and begins rolling down the other side, it picks up speed. Like that ball, life goes faster and faster. Time flies.
