When the Wicked Prosper - Faith in the Furnace of Injustice

How to keep your soul when the guilty walk free, the faithful suffer, and the very systems sworn to protect you have been bought and sold.

Reflection May 2026

The Scales of Justice Imbalanced

"The systems of this world are not inherently just. They are run by fallen human beings with vested interests."

There is a particular kind of despair that settles into the bones when you have done everything right and still lost. You told the truth. You followed the law. You trusted the process. You prayed. You waited. And in the end, the liar was believed. The thief was promoted. The abuser was protected. The murderer walked free. The court ruled in favor of the one with the better lawyer, the deeper pockets, the more powerful friends. And you were left standing in the wreckage, wondering if God saw, if God cared, or if God was even there at all.

I write this for the ones who have been there. For the whistleblower who was fired instead of honored. For the victim whose story was buried under paperwork and payoffs. For the honest worker who watched the cheat advance. For the parent who could not protect their child from a system rigged against them. For the believer who looked at the world and whispered, "How long, O Lord?" This reflection is not a promise that justice will arrive on your timetable. It is a reminder that justice is real, that God is not blind, and that your faith — though tested by fire — is more precious than gold.

I know these subjects all too well…grief, death, murder, rejection and the main topic su***de. I hope this helps someone out there who is experiencing loss of any kind.

Side note: I have also attached my personal pastoral notes on su***de. Biblical references and theological history.

The Unfinished Road: On Grief, Absence, and the Words We Never Spoke

Grief is not a problem to solve - it's a landscape to walk through.

Reflection May 2026

"A road that doubles back, a weather system that clears and returns without warning."

There is a particular ache that has no name in our vocabulary. It is not quite sorrow, not quite regret. It is the phantom pain of a conversation that never happened, a reconciliation that was postponed until it was too late, a love that was left unspoken because we assumed there would always be tomorrow.

We are not prepared for this. The culture offers stages, as if grief were a staircase with a landing at the top. It is not. It is a road that doubles back, a weather system that clears and returns without warning, a room you think you have left only to find yourself in again.

The Many Faces of Loss

The loss of a loved one to age or illness carries a certain shape. There is time, however insufficient, to circle the truth. But murder leaves a jagged edge. Divorce leaves two people alive yet severed, a death in the form of geography. Being dumped is the smaller, daily death of being chosen and then unchosen. Old age - watching one's own body become unfamiliar - is a grief that happens while you are still here to feel it.

Each has its own texture. None is commensurable with another. To compare them is false comfort.

Su***de: The Grief That Hates

And then there is su***de. Which is a category so broken it breaks the categories around it.
