The Well

Is loneliness something that God cares about? In our study today, we’ll look at another foundational principle that speaks directly to this question.

Genesis 1:26 - 2:5

We can know God and, as believers, we do know God. But Christians have long used the language of “incomprehensibility” to express the truth that it is impossible for us, as finite creatures, to fully grasp the infinite God; we can’t know God as he knows himself; we can’t know and comprehend all that he is. It’s more than we could expect or manage; and it’s more than God has given us to know.

“For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations,’ says the Lord of Hosts.” That’s Malachi chapter one, verse eleven, and this is Something Good Radio. About four hundred years before the birth of Christ, the people of Israel had lost their passion for serving God. And in His last words to the Israelites for more than four Centuries, the Lord sent the prophet Malachi to remind them what He had done for them, and what He will do for them in the future. Ron takes us to these last words next, as he continues his teaching series, "The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Minor Prophets.”

This episode features a conversation with biographer Kevin Belmonte about his latest book, GK Chesterton on Life: Encountering His Classic Wit and Wisdom for Today — a hardcover gift book collecting Chesterton's most memorable quotes, organized thematically around faith, humor, home life, nature, and Christmas.

Belmonte introduces GK Chesterton (1874–1936) as a towering British intellectual — a prolific journalist, poet, apologist, and author of the Father Brown mysteries — whose winsome writing style and Christian wit helped influence CS Lewis's return to faith. Despite holding vastly different worldviews, Chesterton maintained warm, civil friendships with contemporaries like George Bernard Shaw and HG Wells, and was admired by figures such as Teddy Roosevelt, who called him "a supreme genius" after a single dinner conversation.

The interview also covers Chesterton's upbringing in a literary London household, his natural gift for language recognized early by teachers, and his rise from writing promotional copy at a publishing firm to becoming one of the most widely read and syndicated columnists of his era.

Sometimes when we’re afraid or in a bind, we try to bargain with God. We’ve all been there — trying to get Jesus to agree to our demands. Pastor J.D. helps us get our theology right about prayer as he continues our series titled, Not God Enough.
