Empires | The Daily

After the large group ended, I stood at the back of Sever 113, one of the auditoriums on Harvard's campus, to talk to students. One visiting student asked me a simple question: "Are you a Republican?" I was a Republican, and proudly so. But he wasn't really asking about my politics. It was a test to see whether he needed to be a Republican to belong here. I knew he would be fine, as many students in our group supported the Democratic Party. I felt caught between wanting to argue over politics and welcoming him. He saw me hesitate, and I never saw him again.

Let's Get Rich | The Daily

"Whoever said 'money can't buy happiness' really knew what they were talking about 😔." Elon Musk posted this on X, the social network he owns, the same month Forbes estimated his net worth crossed $850 billion. A few months later, he became the world's first trillionaire. He's given away less than 1% of it. I can't relate to his cash position, but I have the same spiritual struggle. I know more money won't make me happier, but I still want to see if I'm wrong.

Undivided | The Daily

Toward the end of his life, the missionary John Paton recalled how his father, James Paton, saw him off to college. His dad walked with him for six miles; Paton writes, "His counsels and tears and heavenly conversation on that parting journey are fresh in my heart as if it had been yesterday." When they finally had to say goodbye, his father said to him, "God bless you, my son! Your father's God prosper you, and keep you from all evil!" Then, "Unable to say more, his lips kept moving in silent prayer; in tears we embraced, and parted."

Sorry, Not Sorry | The Daily

"After I got hurt by a church, only one person ever reached out to make it right." I thought that seemed unlikely. In an entire community of Christians, how could hardly anyone want to apologize? But looking back on my situation nearly five years later, only one person ever reached out to me. If no one is sorry, how can I forgive?
