All around the earth, we find scars from meteorite impacts. Some of these are relatively small; others are huge and would’ve been catastrophic. This evidence makes people wonder—is another impact coming?

These so-called messengers from space should remind us that life is fragile. But a meteorite won’t wipe out life. This world will end when Jesus returns in judgment—and nothing we can do will stop that! So, what’s the message? Repent!

We don’t know when our lives might end, but the correct response isn’t fear. It’s placing our faith and trust in Christ. It’s in him that we find salvation.

I remember a few years go headlines proclaiming, “proof of the big bang discovered!” I heard from concerned Christians, wondering how something that contradicts God’s Word could be proven. I told them just to wait, and sure enough, the “proof” wasn’t proof after all. It ended up just being space dust messing with results!

News reports shouldn’t shake our faith in God’s Word. Because the Bible is true, scientists’ findings will eventually confirm it, when more research is done. We can have faith that God’s Word is true from the very beginning.

If we don’t have the answers yet, just wait, we will because God’s Word is true.

The story of evolution usually goes like this: those who are the fittest, the toughest, or the strongest survive and reproduce—the others die out.

But according to other studies, “tameness” was supposedly selected for in human evolution, somehow resulting in genetic changes as we “domesticated” ourselves, ganging up against bullies to get ahead. In other words, the nice guy wins.

But this goes against the evolutionary story of survival of the fittest. This story is always changing because it’s just that—a story invented by humans about the past.

We need to start with God’s unchanging Word, not man’s word.

We all have experience with sickness, whether with a cold or flu or something serious like cancer or heart disease. Why is our world full of disease?

Well, Genesis tells us that God’s original creation was “very good.” But when sin came into the world so did death and suffering and now creation groans.

The bacteria and viruses that now make us sick were originally created very good. Most bacteria and even viruses still perform their original, “very good” functions. But some have “gone rogue” and instead cause sickness and disease.

Praise God, he promises to someday create a new heaven and a new earth free from the curse.

Bird feeding is so popular across the UK that some scientists say it’s “driving rapid evolution.”

You see, scientists observed that birds in the UK have different shaped beaks from birds of the same species in the Netherlands, where bird feeding is much less popular. This beak shape seems to help these UK birds get seeds out of feeders more effectively. So birds that already had this variation were selected for in this bird feeder-heavy environment.

But this isn’t evolution! Birds remain birds! The information for this beak shape was already there; nothing new was created. This is rapid adaptation—not evolution!

Our tongues can sense five basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and savory. Well, one study suggests we can sense a sixth “taste”: tasteless water!

The study on mice found that sour taste receptors can also “taste” water and help mice figure out what’s water and what isn’t. These receptors also help tell the brain when the mouse’s thirst is quenched. This study hasn’t been replicated in humans yet, but it seems likely that it could be.

The more we learn about God’s creation the more amazing we realize it is! Next time you grab a glass of water, thank our Creator.

Over sixty percent of young people in our churches believe good people go to heaven. Of course, they get this idea not from the Bible, but from pop culture.

You see, Scripture teaches that we’re all sinners and our righteousness is filthy rags. We’re all descended from the first man, Adam, and we’ve all inherited his sin nature. On our own there’s nothing we can do about our sinful state.

But Jesus Christ took our penalty of death upon himself on the cross. He defeated sin and death, and he offers the free gift of eternal life to all who will believe. Good works won’t earn you heaven—salvation is found only in Christ.

For decades, Christianity has been declining in Europe. A few years ago, some researchers asked if morality was declining with the church. And their answer was “no, not really.”

But how did they define morality? You see, abortion and homosexuality were just labeled as “traditionally offensive,” while lying and stealing were labeled as “immoral.”

The researchers found many Europeans accept abortion and homosexuality but still think lying and stealing are wrong. So, yes, morality has declined as more people have rejected God’s Word as the basis for right and wrong. It just depends on if you’re using God’s definitions!

The Apostle Peter warns of scoffers who will deny the coming judgment by fire, saying everything continues as it always has. Peter replies by saying that, while it seems like a long time has passed to us, God doesn’t see time the way we do.

Peter writes that just as surely as there was a global judgment at the time of Noah, so another judgement is coming. But Jesus is delaying his judgment because he doesn’t want any to perish.

The rock layers and fossils point to the historicity of the flood. Just as there was a flood in Noah’s day, so there is a judgment coming. But we can be saved through faith in Jesus.

The Apostle Peter warns of a time when scoffers will claim that physical processes go on and on without any divine intervention. Peter specifically mentions that these scoffers will reject creation, the flood, and the coming judgment by fire.

He also warns that they’ll try to lead Christians away into their error. Sadly, many of today’s scoffers are succeeding. They deny the history of God’s Word and lead many Christians to do the same.

We need to heed Peter’s warning today and beware of the scoffers’ arguments. Let God be true, and every scoffer a liar. God’s Word is true—from the very beginning.
