In the book of Genesis we read of God creating the earth, then filling it with plants and animals and forming it into a dazzlingly beautiful home for the first man and woman, Adam and Eve. Here we read of the real origin of the Sabbath. https://t.co/lVQRy2r4JO

Salvation and obedience tie together to all who obey Him. Not just those who believe, but those who respond in action. Now, maybe you've been told it's just about accepting Jesus and taking Him in your heart. But the Bible says there's more to it. https://t.co/HOglGuKRh6

On occasion even some of the great men in the Bible suffered from depression. After a string of miracles and a long, close relationship with God, the prophet Elijah became prey to depression when Queen Jezebel threatened to kill him. https://t.co/Ick0lIV1y6

Since the early part of the 20th century the rate of change has been rapidly speeding up. Today, we’re experiencing an accelerated rate of both technological and cultural changes unlike anything past generations have witnessed. https://t.co/DjprBuNQWz

With 2026 before us, we should consider where we are in the march of history, as God moves the world closer to the climax—the second coming of Jesus Christ. That day will come, and we need to be watching for significant events that will precede it. https://t.co/b2XxfDbrch

What kids experience during their youth largely determines whether they will grow up to become well-adjusted, optimally-functioning adults. Kids need a healthy and “normal” childhood so they’re not shortchanged when it comes to developing life skills. https://t.co/gxgWGt5YKH

I used to love Christmas. For me Christmas was very special, what a wonderful time of the year. And it wasn't just the lights, it wasn't just the gifts and family but for me it was more, it was more. https://t.co/gusr51V1ps

If you’ve considered the evidence and have decided to kick the Christmas habit, your next question is likely to be, “Well, now what?” That’s what mine was. How do I not celebrate Christmas when everyone around me has put on a Santa hat and put up a tree? https://t.co/MZv6aloGNY

What do you do when your relationship with God seems to collide with your relationship with your family? Tell your family you’re giving up Christmas, and you’ll find out rather quickly. https://t.co/GbbyylKxOY

When Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27), He was telling all of us that the Sabbath was made to help us and be a blessing for us. It’s part of God’s benefit program for everyone. https://t.co/PRowX1IQ20

Given the difficulties and the desire to bring pagans into Christianity, "the important fact then which I have asked you to get clearly into your head is that the fixing of the date as December 25th was a compromise with paganism" (William Walsh). https://t.co/pPceeOPPRn

Is this progress? Is there anything wrong with relying so much on AI? Should we be alarmed about how AI is changing our lives? Does the Bible offer any guidance in terms of how we should understand these new technologies? https://t.co/VCqVArYGc0

Believe it or not, Satan plays an enormous role in religion. He is very interested in what happens in churches. We often think of the devil as out there somewhere, maybe on the attack. But do you realize that he may be much closer than you think? https://t.co/F7DrQ7fyWz

Today I want to talk about one of the females, one of the women of Scripture. In particular, we're going to look at one of the women of faith. It's an inspiring story to study, and it's one from which we all can learn. https://t.co/CYPVzyZfpm

“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one” (Thomas Paine). He believed that while government is essential for order and protection, it is inherently flawed and can easily become corrupt. https://t.co/ubeuF2BqbW

You need to discern between the true witnesses, God's genuine messengers and the false prophet and the beast who spread deception. And it's not going to be that obvious. But knowing the truth, that's what really matters and that's what will affect you. https://t.co/zQvOprIeSe

The angels’ beginning was far back in time, before mankind was created—before the earth was even formed. Genesis 1:1 tells us “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” But, the Bible doesn’t tell the whole story in one verse. https://t.co/0whm0bIGPe

My friend David believed he had a soul. He kind of thought of it like a little ghost inside you that lives forever. And that's what he was taught when he was growing up. But years went by and everything changed when his mother battled cancer and died. https://t.co/IuTn7HlBA9

In 2023, Elon Musk warned, “AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production . . . It has the potential of civilization destruction” https://t.co/mnKQqMTi9F

While going through the day’s mail, I didn’t notice anything exciting at first—just another promotional offer from a bank and an envelope packed with coupons. But then I noticed a pale blue envelope at the bottom of the stack. It was a card from a friend. https://t.co/vBTAFd0YNk
