Musk is driven by the idea that the planet Mars can be colonized. On Jesse Waters Primetime (May 1, 2025) on Fox News Musk said, “So, eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the sun. The sun is gradually expanding, and so we do at some point need to be a multi-planet civilization, because Earth will be incinerated.” Waters replied, “I’m hearing this for the first time that we are going to get roasted by the sun.” Musk replied, “It is not a disputed fact. I don’t think there is anything who will disagree with that.” I dispute that. God is the one firing the sun and it will burn out when He ends the world. Jesus said, “My Father is working until now, and I am working” (John 5:17). There is your answer to Who is firing the sun. 

The values of the kingdom of God are very different from the values the world holds dear. Jesus commended the meek and said that they will ultimately gain permanence & security.

Our culture is saturated with AI technology and an unprecedented information flow. Every day, we are bombarded with fake images, videos, audio/voice layovers, and evil content from countless sources that seem incredibly life-like. But as I’ve explained to my son, while we can enjoy the liberties of technology, it’s important to be pro-truth. 

What is the function of a wrench? A mechanic may define it by its proper function: “A wrench is a tool; its use is to loosen or tighten bolts and make adjustments.” A do-it-yourself mechanic might also use it as a hammer in the absence of an actual hammer. Others may find it useful in producing artwork (e.g., industrial art, metal sculpture, steampunk, etc.). Which is right? Let’s come back to this in a moment.

“It says what it means, and means what it says.” Does this rule apply to all of Scripture? Even in the same language, words and phrases often have meanings different from the literal. When translating from one language to another (such as Hebrew or Greek into English), often “it loses something in the translation."

Why are so many reluctant to witness to others? The above study does not delve into reasons, but we could probably guess about some.

 Is our restoring work done? Are there other topics that need to be examined?

Here is a case in point.

I see a general gravitation within Restoration Movement churches toward adopting a very denominational perspective on pastoring the local church.

According to Catholic tradition, Jesus appointed Saint Peter as the first pope, establishing him as the foundation of the Church and granting him authority over the other apostles. This belief is based on interpretations of certain biblical passages, particularly Matthew 16:18-19.  However, these interpretations are woefully incorrect. 

Every Fourth of July I enjoy reflecting on the Christian roots in American history.  In the following article, I will highlight some of my favorite reminders of the great spiritual legacy our forefathers gave us.

The Lord's Church in modern America has a serious first-world problem. It should be a blessing, but has it not become a stumbling block? I'm speaking of our church buildings. We've all heard the expression “can't see the forest for the trees.” I'm afraid now we can't see the Church for the buildings.
