Watching the news today can leave us unsettled. Conflict in the Middle East. Nervous nations. Dropping markets. Rising prices. Uncertainty everywhere. It’s enough to make you want to turn away.
I suggest a better option: Turn to your Bible.
Scripture speaks with clarity about the geopolitical eruptions that we are witnessing. We are wise to view this conflict, not through the lens of the media, but through the lens of God’s Word. The Lord has spoken clearly about His purposes, His promises, and His plan for the future. And when we understand that plan, we see that what feels chaotic is not outside of His control.

NASA Astronaut Shares Second Faith Message — Apr. 7: As NASA’s Artemis II mission approached the far side of the moon, astronaut Victor Glover shared another message about faith and love (see Apr. 1, below). Reflecting on Christ’s teachings, Glover reminded viewers of the greatest commandment (Matt. 22:36-40): to love God with all that you are and to love your neighbor as yourself. His message of human unity under God testifies to the power of faith even in the midst of groundbreaking scientific exploration. (RELEVANT; BioLogos)

Left Behind Co-Author Cautions Christian Writers Against AI — April 8: Christian author (and co-writer of the Left Behind series) Jerry B. Jenkins warned writers of faith to avoid relying on AI tools for creative writing. While urging writers to embrace AI as a research tool, Jenkins insisted that AI cannot replicate the passionate conviction of a human writer. For faith-based voices to remain relevant in the AI era, they must do what AI can’t: listen for the voice of God, carefully crafting their work to bear eternal, supernatural truth. (RNS)

Museum of the Bible Exhibits Oldest Biblical Texts — April 8: The Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, is hosting a Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit featuring the oldest biblical texts ever discovered. The display includes portions of Psalms, Numbers, and Lamentations, alongside nonbiblical texts. These scrolls provide invaluable insights into biblical history, refining textual understanding, such as Goliath’s height in 1 Samuel 17:4. The exhibit also features artifacts like a Temple Mount stone and the Magdala Stone. (Christianity Today)

When learning about the person of Holy Spirit, we must first make sure we understand who He is according to Scripture and how we can relate to Him the same way we would to God the Father and Jesus Christ.
He is not some mystical force to be afraid of or an ethereal presence you can’t relate to. He is the Spirit of the living God, given to dwell within us. We cannot reduce Him to an object or describe Him incorrectly by avoiding personal pronouns.
He is a person, and He has the power to liberate us, change us, lead us, and help us to look more like Jesus every day — if we learn His ways and obey His voice.

There’s a spiritual habit that millions of Christians practice with extraordinary faithfulness every morning.
Before their feet touch the floor — sometimes before eyes are fully open — a hand reaches for the nightstand. They pick up their phone and begin their daily liturgy: email, news, social media, email again. No one taught them this ritual, and yet they perform it with a consistency that would make a Benedictine monk weep with envy.
Imagine if you were able to apply that same energy to your walk with God. Your spiritual life would look completely different. And that’s actually the point.
What you do habitually — what you do without thinking — shapes who you are becoming. That’s true whether the habit is scrolling Instagram or sitting with the Psalms.

Jesus is the Son of God, but what does that mean? How is the Son of God different from God the Father and God the Holy Spirit? The mystery of the Trinity is one of the most difficult and most fundamental truths of Christianity. The entire Christian faith hinges on the idea that Jesus was the Son of God — fully God and fully human.
In order to understand who the Son of God is and how He functions within the Trinity, we must understand His person, His earthly life, and His continuing ministry as the Lamb of God.
