3 Seconds in the News: God’s Truth Behind the Noise
When the Waters Rise: What the Texas Floods Remind Us - June 6, 2025
The devastating floods in Texas claimed dozens of lives, including children—an unspeakable loss that stops us in our tracks. Tragedy like this shakes our sense of control and forces us to confront what really matters.
The truth is, we spend so much of life preparing for things that don’t last—careers, comfort, reputation—and very little time preparing for what never ends.
Moments like these remind us that life is short, but eternity isn’t. And in that space between the temporary and the eternal, God is always calling us to something deeper.
“Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.” – Psalm 90:12 (NLT)

What Bill Gates Just Reminded Us About Life’s True Priorities - July 13, 2025
This past week, Bill Gates gave away an astonishing 51 billion dollars, part of his pledge to not die rich but to give his fortune away during his lifetime. I do not know if Bill is a Christian or not, but his actions serve as a powerful reminder of something I write about in 3 Seconds on Earth—that our time here is short, and what we do with it matters far more than what we accumulate.
We were not created to be slaves to money. We are here for something much deeper: the development of our character, the love we show others, and the purpose we live out. Gates' decision to give so much away highlights what happens when we stop clinging to material things and start asking what legacy we will leave.
It is easy to get caught in the grind of chasing more, earning more, and spending more. But in the end, it is not the size of our bank account that counts. It is the size of our heart, the impact of our choices, and the way we have grown through both pain and purpose.
