"According to the latest Pew report, almost 1 in 5 Americans identify themselves as 'spiritual but not religious.' In other words, they have some feeling, some intuition of something greater, but feel allergic to institutions....It’s important to remember that it is institutions and not abstract feelings that tie a community together and lead to meaningful change....Join in; together is harder, but together is better."

"College improves your earning prospects. So does marriage. Education makes you more likely to live longer. So does marriage.

"Most successful art or invention is born inside constraint. What is beautiful or functional is shaped by boundaries." Good article from 40 years of marriage.

 

Philip Ryken has started to blog through Marilynne Robinson's Gilead.
