There's a line that by us remains unseen - it can be crossed. I want to brag on the Lord today. I also want to show respect and love to unbelievers that Jesus loves! Why? I want them to come to Christ before their hearts become permanently hardened.

God has been called the Hound of Heaven. He is still so serious about this relentless pursuit of sinners, following them with His holy love until they give up. Please let Him win. Just surrender and discover that the One you've been so fiercely fleeing from is the very One you've been seeking all along. Here's a poem on that. 

Here Is "The Hound of Heaven" By Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

"I FLED Him, down the nights and down the days;

I fled Him, down the arches of the years;

I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways

Of my own mind; and in the mist of tears

I hid from Him, and under running laughter.

Up vistaed hopes I sped;

And shot, precipitated,

Adown Titanic glooms of chasmèd fears,

From those strong Feet that followed, followed after.

But with unhurrying chase,

And unperturbèd pace,

Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,

They beat—and a Voice beat

More instant than the Feet—

‘All things betray thee, who betrayest Me.’

I pleaded, outlaw-wise,

By many a hearted casement, curtained red,

Trellised with intertwining charities;

(For, though I knew His love Who followèd,

Yet was I sore adread

Lest, having Him, I must have naught beside).

But, if one little casement parted wide,

The gust of His approach would clash it to.

Fear wist not to evade, as Love wist to pursue.

Across the margent of the world I fled,

And troubled the gold gateways of the stars,

Smiting for shelter on their clangèd bars;

Fretted to dulcet jars

And silvern chatter the pale ports o’ the moon.

I said to Dawn: Be sudden—to Eve: Be soon;

With thy young skiey blossoms heap me over

From this tremendous Lover—

Float thy vague veil about me, lest He see!

I tempted all His servitors, but to find

My own betrayal in their constancy,

In faith to Him their fickleness to me,

Their traitorous trueness, and their loyal deceit.

To all swift things for swiftness did I sue;

Clung to the whistling mane of every wind.

But whether they swept, smoothly fleet,

The long savannahs of the blue;

Or whether, Thunder-driven,

They clanged his chariot ’thwart a heaven,

Plashy with flying lightnings round the spurn o’ their feet:—

Fear wist not to evade as Love wist to pursue.

Still with unhurrying chase,

And unperturbèd pace,

Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,

Came on the following Feet,

And a Voice above their beat—

‘Naught shelters thee, who wilt not shelter Me.’

I sought no more that after which I strayed

In face of man or maid;

But still within the little children’s eyes

Seems something, something that replies,

They at least are for me, surely for me!

I turned me to them very wistfully;

But just as their young eyes grew sudden fair

With dawning answers there,

Their angel plucked them from me by the hair.

‘Come then, ye other children, Nature’s—share

With me’ (said I) ‘your delicate fellowship;

Let me greet you lip to lip,

Let me twine with you caresses,

Wantoning

With our Lady-Mother’s vagrant tresses,

Banqueting

With her in her wind-walled palace,

Underneath her azured daïs,

Quaffing, as your taintless way is,

From a chalice

Lucent-weeping out of the dayspring.’

So it was done:

I in their delicate fellowship was one—

Drew the bolt of Nature’s secrecies.

I knew all the swift importings

On the wilful face of skies;

I knew how the clouds arise

Spumèd of the wild sea-snortings;

All that’s born or dies

Rose and drooped with; made them shapers

Of mine own moods, or wailful or divine;

With them joyed and was bereaven.

I was heavy with the even,

When she lit her glimmering tapers

Round the day’s dead sanctities.

I laughed in the morning’s eyes.

I triumphed and I saddened with all weather,

Heaven and I wept together,

And its sweet tears were salt with mortal mine;

Against the red throb of its sunset-heart

I laid my own to beat,

And share commingling heat;

But not by that, by that, was eased my human smart.

In vain my tears were wet on Heaven’s grey cheek.

For ah! we know not what each other says,

These things and I; in sound I speak—

Their sound is but their stir, they speak by silences.

Nature, poor stepdame, cannot slake my drouth;

Let her, if she would owe me,

Drop yon blue bosom-veil of sky, and show me

The breasts o’ her tenderness:

Never did any milk of hers once bless

My thirsting mouth.

Nigh and nigh draws the chase,

With unperturbèd pace,

Deliberate speed, majestic instancy;

And past those noisèd Feet

A voice comes yet more fleet—

‘Lo! naught contents thee, who content’st not Me!’

Naked I wait Thy love’s uplifted stroke!

My harness piece by piece Thou hast hewn from me,

And smitten me to my knee;

I am defenceless utterly.

I slept, methinks, and woke,

And, slowly gazing, find me stripped in sleep.

In the rash lustihead of my young powers,

I shook the pillaring hours

And pulled my life upon me; grimed with smears,

I stand amid the dust o’ the mounded years—

My mangled youth lies dead beneath the heap.

My days have crackled and gone up in smoke,

Have puffed and burst as sun-starts on a stream.

Yea, faileth now even dream

The dreamer, and the lute the lutanist;

Even the linked fantasies, in whose blossomy twist

I swung the earth a trinket at my wrist,

Are yielding; cords of all too weak account

For earth with heavy griefs so overplussed.

Ah! is Thy love indeed

A weed, albeit an amaranthine weed,

Suffering no flowers except its own to mount?

Ah! must—

Designer infinite!—

Ah! must Thou char the wood ere Thou canst limn with it?

My freshness spent its wavering shower i’ the dust;

And now my heart is as a broken fount,

Wherein tear-drippings stagnate, spilt down ever

From the dank thoughts that shiver

Upon the sighful branches of my mind.

Such is; what is to be?

The pulp so bitter, how shall taste the rind?

I dimly guess what Time in mists confounds;

Yet ever and anon a trumpet sounds

From the hid battlements of Eternity;

Those shaken mists a space unsettle, then

Round the half-glimpsèd turrets slowly wash again.

But not ere him who summoneth

I first have seen, enwound

With glooming robes purpureal, cypress-crowned;

His name I know, and what his trumpet saith.

Whether man’s heart or life it be which yields

Thee harvest, must Thy harvest-fields

Be dunged with rotten death?

Now of that long pursuit

Comes on at hand the bruit;

That Voice is round me like a bursting sea:

‘And is thy earth so marred,

Shattered in shard on shard?

Lo, all things fly thee, for thou fliest Me!

Strange, piteous, futile thing!

Wherefore should any set thee love apart?

Seeing none but I makes much of naught’ (He said),

‘And human love needs human meriting:

How hast thou merited—

Of all man’s clotted clay the dingiest clot?

Alack, thou knowest not

How little worthy of any love thou art!

Whom wilt thou find to love ignoble thee,

Save Me, save only Me?

All which I took from thee I did but take,

Not for thy harms,

But just that thou might’st seek it in My arms.

All which thy child’s mistake

Fancies as lost, I have stored for thee at home:

Rise, clasp My hand, and come!’

Halts by me that footfall:

Is my gloom, after all,

Shade of His hand, outstretched caressingly?

‘Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest,

I am He Whom thou seekest!

Thou dravest love from thee, who dravest Me."

Who Exactly Was Francis Thompson?

Francis Thompson (1859–1907) was a gifted English poet from Lancashire, England. He struggled for years with poverty, illness, and opium addiction, even living homeless on the streets of London. Yet through God’s providence, he was rescued, and then restored, and he became one of the great English Christian poets.

His poem The Hound of Heaven has influenced countless readers, including J.R.R. Tolkien. Thompson’s personal experience of running fast from God and then being overtaken by divine mercy, and POWERFUL GRACE gives the poem extraordinary depth and authenticity.

What's The Central Message of The Hound of Heaven?

“I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;
I fled Him, down the arches of the years...”

The speaker runs from God through pleasure, relationships, nature, and personal ambition. Yet God continues pursuing him:

“With unhurrying chase,
And unperturbèd pace,
Deliberate speed, majestic instancy...”

This is one of the most profound descriptions of the grace of God ever written. The Lord is not frantic, impatient, or uncertain. He pursues sinners steadily, sovereignly, and lovingly.

The poem ends with Christ’s tender invitation:

“Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest,
I am He Whom thou seekest!”

The great discovery is that every human heart is ultimately searching for God Himself.

---

What Is Deeply Biblical in the Poem?

1. God Pursues Lost Sinners

Jesus declared that He came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). And that's exactly what He did here, Jesus was diligent, He sought out the Lost! On purpose! 

• Adam and Eve in the garden.
• Jonah on the sea.
• Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus.
• The Prodigal Son while he was still far away.

Thompson’s “Hound of Heaven” is a metaphor for this relentless divine pursuit.

2. Nothing Created Can Satisfy the Human Soul

The poem shows that relationships, nature, pleasure, and dreams cannot quench spiritual thirst. See...

• Ecclesiastes
• Jeremiah 2:13
• Jesus’ words in John 4:14

As Augustine of Hippo wrote: “Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee.”

3. God Removes Lesser Things to Draw Us to Himself

“All which I took from thee I did but take,
Not for thy harms,
But just that thou might’st seek it in My arms.”

This is profoundly biblical. God often strips away idols so that we will seek Him alone (Hebrews 12:5–11).

4. God’s Love Is Stronger Than Human Resistance

Romans 2:4 teaches that God’s kindness leads us to repentance. The poem presents grace as persistent and patient.

5. Christ Is the Fulfillment of Every True Longing

“I am He Whom thou seekest!”

This echoes Jesus’ declaration that He alone is the bread of life, the living water, and the good shepherd.

---

It's a Warning I often Think About: “There Is a Line by Us Unseen”

“There is a line by us unseen,
That crosses every path,
The hidden boundary between
God’s patience and His wrath.”

Whether or not the exact authorship is uncertain, the message is consistent with Scripture.

---

Biblical Support for This Warning

Genesis 6:3

“My Spirit shall not strive with man forever.”

Proverbs 29:1

“He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”

Hebrews 3:7–8

“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

2 Corinthians 6:2

“Now is the accepted time... now is the day of salvation.”

---

What This Warning Does NOT Mean

It does not mean that a truly repentant sinner will be turned away.

Jesus promised:

“The one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.” (John 6:37)

As long as a person genuinely repents and believes in Christ, there is full forgiveness.

1 Timothy 4:1–2: "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith... speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron".

Ephesians 4:18–19: "They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more."

1 Timothy 1:19: "..holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith."

Yes, there is a real danger for people who put it off, the most important decision of their lives. It is that repeated rejection of God may harden a person to the point where they no longer desire to repent. Their conscience becomes seared (1 Timothy 4:2). The problem is not that Christ refuses them, but that they stubbornly refuse Christ.

1. Thompson struggled during his life as a Roman Catholic man

2. He used Highly Mystical and Symbolic Language, expressions are poetic 

3. The “Hound” Metaphor speaks of how much God loves sinners like you and me. He left heaven for you and me.

Some believers may find the metaphor unusual, but it is meant positively: a hunting dog that persistently tracks its quarry. It emphasizes God’s determined love.

God is not some dog, but he can act very determined like a hound. In the Old Testament, the earnings of a "dog" could not be brought to the house of the Lord (Deuteronomy 23:18). Proverbs 26:11 compares a fool who repeats their mistakes to "a dog returning to its vomit".Rejection of the Gospel: In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warned, "Do not give dogs what is holy," symbolizing that unrepentant sinners do not value the sacred message of the gospel.

Psalm 22 gives us prophecies about Christ’s Calvary suffering, describing those who persecuted Him as a "pack of dogs".

The Unsaved: The book of Revelation uses "dogs" to describe the ultimate group of outsiders who do not enter the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:15).

Gentiles: Jesus momentarily used this term (of little puppies) to a Canaanite woman, reflecting the Jewish cultural distinction between God’s chosen people and "outsider" Gentiles.

---

Is the Theology Sound from an Evangelical Perspective?

Yes, with discernment.

The central truths are thoroughly biblical:

• Humanity runs from God.
• God lovingly pursues sinners.
• Created things cannot satisfy.
• God removes idols.
• Salvation is found in Christ alone.
• Delaying repentance is spiritually dangerous.

These themes harmonize beautifully with sound evangelical doctrine.

The warning of The Hound of Heaven presents two truths:

1. God lovingly pursues sinners.
2. No one should presume upon God’s patience.

God says, “Come.”

The Spirit says, “Come.”

Christ says, “Whoever comes to Me I will never cast out.”

“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

---

Life is so brief, it seems like it's over in a flash! The Bible compares life to:

• A mist (James 4:14)
• A breath (Psalm 39:5)
• Grass that withers (Isaiah 40:6–8)
• A passing shadow (Job 14:2)

Psalm 90:12 prays, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

You and I can run to the Lord and the unchanging Bible promises of God, but we are not promised tomorrow. How long we live, God alone knows. 

---

Seek the Lord While He May Be Found.. while you have breath. 

Isaiah 55:6–7 declares:

“Seek the LORD while He may be found;
Call upon Him while He is near...
Let him return to the LORD,
And He will have mercy on him...
For He will abundantly pardon.”

This is one of the most gracious invitations in all of Scripture.

If you are hearing God’s voice today, do not run from Him.

Do not assume there will always be another opportunity.

Do not gamble with your soul.

The Lord Jesus Christ pursued you to the cross, bore your sins, died in your place, and rose again. His arms are open wide.

Come now.

Come while you still desire to come.

Come while the Spirit of God is drawing your heart.

And when you finally surrender, you will discover that the One from whom you were fleeing is the One for whom your soul has been searching all along:

“Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest,
I am He Whom thou seekest!”

Time is a precious gift. Every day of life is a great gift to thank the Lord for. As the sands in the hourglass continue to fall, remember this sobering truth: every sixty seconds, another minute of God-given opportunity slips into eternity, and with it, countless souls move one step closer to their everlasting destiny.

The Lord Jesus looked upon the multitudes and said, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Luke 10:2). The fields are still white unto harvest. Men and women all around us are living, suffering, and dying without the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Every heartbeat brings someone nearer either to everlasting life in the presence of God or everlasting separation from Him.

The apostle Paul wrote, “Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men” (2 Corinthians 5:11). He also declared, “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us” (2 Corinthians 5:20). What a staggering thought: the sovereign God of the universe has entrusted to redeemed sinners the ministry of reconciliation.

The urgency could not be greater. Scripture says, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Today is all any of us are guaranteed. Yesterday is gone forever. Tomorrow is promised to no one.

Jesus asked the most penetrating question ever posed to humanity: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” (Mark 8:36). No promotion, possession, pleasure, or earthly accomplishment can compensate for an eternity without Christ.

The Word of God reminds us that the lost are spiritually blinded by Satan (2 Corinthians 4:3–4), dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1), and already under condemnation apart from faith in Christ (John 3:18, 36). Yet the gospel remains “the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16). Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). He died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1–4).

The risen Lord’s final marching orders still stand: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19–20). “You shall be witnesses to Me” (Acts 1:8). These are not suggestions for a gifted few, but the loving command of our King to every believer.

Charles Spurgeon pleaded with his congregation:

“If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay.”

D. L. Moody said:

“The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to Him.”

William Booth declared:

“Not called! Did you say, ‘Not heard the call,’ I think you should say.”

Leonard Ravenhill warned:

“The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized within the lifetime of the opportunity.”

Hudson Taylor wrote:

“The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.”

Oswald J. Smith asked:

“Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice before everyone has heard it once?”

Jim Elliot challenged us:

“Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.”

According to The World Population Clock from the United Nations Population Fund, the world population is now over 8 billion people. Many have never heard a clear presentation of the biblical gospel.

Joshua Project estimates that more than 3 billion people live among unreached people groups, meaning they have little or no access to an evangelical church or faithful gospel witness.

The World Health Organization reports that hundreds of thousands of people die by suicide each year, underscoring the deep spiritual despair and hopelessness present in our fallen world.

The World Health Organization and UNICEF document that many children and adults die daily from preventable causes. 

Every person who dies without repentance toward God and saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ faces eternal judgment (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:11–15).

Therefore, Redeem the Time

Pray earnestly.

Love sacrificially.

Speak boldly.

Weep compassionately.

Go obediently.

Witness faithfully.

A conversation may be your only opportunity.

A gospel tract may be read after you are gone.

A prayer may open a heart.

A testimony may awaken a conscience.

A simple act of kindness may prepare the soil for the seed of the Word.

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise” (Proverbs 11:30, NKJV).

“Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever” (Daniel 12:3).

“He who goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:6).

May we live with hot tears in our eyes when there is loss or near loss. The gospel on our lips, the love of Christ in our hearts, and eternity in our view.

For soon our clocks will stop, our opportunities will cease, and we will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ.

Until then, let us spend and be spent for the salvation of souls, so that on that final day we may hear our Savior say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.. Enter into the joy of your lord” (Matthew 25:21). 

UFOs and aliens.. are they for real? Man, they've been in the News lately. What does wise time management allow for me on stuff like this?

Aliens, really, what a topic!? 

Well, here in the Western World, millions have illegally come across our borders. Do you mean aliens like that? Man, I say it's a real good time for Christians to wisely witness.. sharing the gospel and say.. your story of faith with those people (the mission fields have been allowed to come to us, so let's make the best of it for God's glory). Yeah, and rely upon the Holy Spirit to empower you for this. We aren't better than, though we Christians are better off. 

ET like. Extraterrestrial life -- it refers to any hypothetical or so-called verified life form that originates outside of Earth. Interesting topic.  

Q: Okay, so what about the other type.. so called aliens and these unique topics? You believe those Aliens exist?

Q: Has the earth been flat or round?

Fascinating questions kinda.. huh.. and they each deserve a thoughtful, respectful answer rather than a sensational one. I'll seek to keep it factual. Are there a lot of things I don't fully know yet? Sure, all of us will learn more in heaven. Let's go there together and take people with us. 

Personally, I say the Earth is round. Seems like a no-brainer because way up in the sky, while flying over different seas, I actually saw that this globe is round (and have not only seen from my windows but from some cameras mounted below. 

Have you ever been up to the Alta Laguna Park atop Temple Hill? It's the second-highest peak of the San Joaquin Hills, in Laguna Beach, California located at the north end of the Top of the World neighborhood. I used to skateboard down from the Top of the World in Laguna Beach. I could oversee the Pacific Ocean and see a bit of curvature from that place. 

Now, the Bible simply does not support that the Earth is flat. This is a secondary a.k.a. peripheral issue, so let's not major on the minors while here. The shape of the Earth and convincing people of its shape should not become our primary mission in life. That would be weird. As Christians, let's keep the main things the main things.. Knowing the Lord intimately, worshipping Him acceptably, and spreading the Gospel His way is the main thing. Going out to explain the shape of the earth, or to prove our arguments about this, needs to stay a peripheral secondary issue.

Q: Have there ever been real UFOs? (Because this topic has is currently on the minds of so many in the news lately, it's good to talk about. Too much of what happens in so-called churches these days is dealing with traditions or questions people are no longer asking. We want to answer the questions that people are really asking, not questions of yesteryear that are no longer on their minds today)

The short answer is this:

Yes, unidentified flying objects certainly have existed.. cuz many aircraft have not been identified. 

Many things in the sky have historically, have initially been unexplained. But whether these objects are spacecraft piloted by intelligent beings from other planets is entirely unproven. I personally don't want to waste time on some things when God would have me invest time elsewhere. I could sin by not knowing what God wants me to major in and invest time on. Sure, by not prioritizing what God wants me involved with (the spread of His gospel when time is limited). 

As for extraterrestrial life, the Bible neither clearly confirms nor explicitly denies its existence. Scripture does, however, give us everything we need to know about God, humanity, salvation, and the unseen spiritual realm.

The wisest Christian response is not fear, speculation, or gullibility, but sober discernment grounded in the Word of God.

---

Let's Begin with a Few Needed Definitions

Yep, That's reasonable, huh. 

A UFO simply means an Unidentified Flying Object. In modern terminology, the government often uses the term UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena). An unidentified object is exactly that: something observed but not yet explained.

That does not automatically mean it is an alien spacecraft.

Most unexplained sightings eventually turn out to be ordinary phenomena such as aircraft, balloons, atmospheric effects, military technology, or human misinterpretation.

The word alien, in this context, refers to intelligent life originating somewhere other than Earth.

---

What Does God in the Bible Actually Say?

The Bible does not directly address extraterrestrials.

There is no verse that says, "There are beings living on distant planets," nor is there a verse that says, "There are none."

When Scripture is silent, we should be cautious about speaking dogmatically.

"Where God has not spoken, we should be content to remain humble." ~ C.S. Lewis 

That principle reflects the spirit of Deuteronomy 29:29:

"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever."

God has revealed what is essential for our salvation and sanctification. He has not revealed everything about the universe.

---

Humanity Occupies a Unique Place in Creation

What Scripture does emphasize repeatedly is the unique dignity and calling of mankind.

In Genesis 1:27 we read:

"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

Human beings alone are explicitly said to bear the image of God.

The Lord Jesus Christ became a man, not an angel and not another type of creature. Hebrews 2:14–17 teaches that He took on human flesh to redeem human beings.

Mark in 10:45 of his gospel declares:

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

God's redemptive story centers on mankind and on this fallen world.

---

The Only Other Intelligent Beings Scripture Clearly Reveals

The Bible unmistakably teaches the existence of two other categories of intelligent created beings:

1. Holy angels
2. Fallen angels (demons)

Jesus spoke often about both.

In Matthew 25:31, He described His return "with all the holy angels."

In Matthew 10:8, He gave His disciples authority over demons.

The universe, according to the Bible, is far more populated than most modern people imagine. But its primary unseen inhabitants are not "little green men." They are spiritual beings created by God.

---

Could Some UFO Encounters Or Apparitions Be.. Demonic Deception Maybe?

Possibly. Perhaps.

I cannot say that every strange sighting is demonic. Many are undoubtedly natural or man-made. Some are misunderstandings. Some may involve classified military technology.

Yet Scripture warns that Satan is a master deceiver.

2 Corinthians 11:14 says:

"Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light."

The devil traffics in counterfeit signs and wonders. His goal is always the same: to distract people from the truth of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Billy Graham wrote in his book Angels that believers should not be surprised if demonic powers imitate supernatural phenomena in order to mislead humanity.

Some reports of alien abductions and encounters bear striking similarities to occult experiences, spirit communication, and other spiritually dangerous practices. That does not prove a demonic source in every case, but it makes biblical discernment essential.

---

Ezekiel's Vision and the "Flying Objects"

Some people point to Ezekiel 1, where the prophet describes "a wheel within a wheel" moving in extraordinary ways.

Ezekiel was not describing extraterrestrials. He was recording a vision of God's glorious throne and the angelic beings attending Him.

Still, the passage reminds us that the Bible contains authentic descriptions of supernatural realities far beyond ordinary human experience.

The spiritual realm is real, vast, and awe-inspiring.

---

What Does Science Say?

From a scientific standpoint, there is currently no confirmed evidence that intelligent extraterrestrial life exists.

Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside our solar system, but none has yielded verified proof of life.

The universe is immense, so extraterrestrial life is theoretically possible. But possibility is not proof.

As of today, humanity has not established confirmed contact with intelligent beings from another world.

---

Recent US Government UFO Releases

This and other government releases include videos, witness reports, and investigative files concerning unusual aerial phenomena.

These documents demonstrate that trained observers have occasionally encountered objects they could not immediately explain.

They actually do not constitute proof that extraterrestrials are visiting Earth.

An unexplained observation remains exactly that: unexplained.

---

When We Don't Know, We Stand on What We Do For Sure Know

God loves you and he has a good plan for your life. We also know hat the Bible is true.  This is a wise principle for every Christian. Stick with the Lord and what you know is true.

Never surrender what God has clearly revealed for the sake of what remains mysterious.

And here is what we know with certainty:

• God created the heavens and the earth.
• Man was created in God's image.
• Humanity fell into sin.
• Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.
• He died on the cross and rose bodily from the grave.
• He ascended into heaven.
• He is coming again in glory.

These truths are not speculation. They are the solid rock of divine revelation.

---

The Greatest Event Ever Seen in the Sky

One day the most dramatic event in human history will occur.

It will not be secret. It will not be ambiguous. It will not require radar analysis.

The Lord Jesus Christ will return.

In Matthew 24:27 Jesus said this:

"For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be."

And Revelation 1:7 declares:

"Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him."

No one will wonder whether it was a weather balloon. No one will debate whether the footage was authentic. The entire world will know that the King of kings has come.

---

Larry Norman's Thoughtful Reflection

He once wrote a lied about this stuff in his song titled UFO:

"And if there's life on other planets, Then I'm sure that He must know, And He's been there once already, And has died to save their souls."

Me, I'm not sure if Jesus saved their souls out there, or if anyone is even there to save at all. Whether one agrees with every Norman implication, the central truth is sound: Jesus Christ is Lord over all creation.

---

Here's a Most Important Question

The real issue is not whether there is life on other planets.

The more urgent question is this:

Are you living the life God created you to live on this planet? Have you been born again Spiritually and are you living in God specific will? You must be born again because Jesus said you must be born again.. in John 3:3.

God knows you personally. He formed you intentionally. He loves you profoundly. He sent His Son to redeem you. He invites you to repent, believe, and follow Him.

And one day you will stand before Him.

So are there UFOs?

Yes, in the simple sense that some objects in the sky are initially or long-term unexplained.

Are there aliens from other planets?

Possibly, but there is no confirmed evidence, and the Bible does not address this matter directly.

Could some extraordinary encounters involve spiritual deception?

That is a biblically possible explanation in certain cases.

Should Christians get all obsessed with extraterrestrials?

Nope. 

Our focus should remain on the One who made the stars, sustains the universe, and came to Earth to save sinners like me.

As Colossians 1:16–17 proclaims:

"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible... And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist."

The greatest wonder in the universe is not a mysterious object up in the sky.

The greatest wonder is that the Creator of the cosmos loved us enough to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and to bring us safely home to God. KnowGod.org

Q: How do you manage the limited time God has afforded to you? How many of us know how many minutes we have left? You might not believe we are in the Last Days, but these days now are your last days and mine. Basic food, clean water, clothes, and shelter over your head for you and your family, those are indeed important and worth investing some time in. What about the investment of time regarding your future and their future, and about spiritual matters? That's important too. 

Why should we want God to teach us to number our days (Psalm 90)?

Who was Naaman in the Bible?

What can we learn from the story of Elisha and Naaman?

God has much to say about the wise stewardship of time, because time is one of His most precious gifts. Every breath we take is borrowed from Him. Every sunrise is another undeserved opportunity to know Him, serve Him, and point others to His Son. And because life is astonishingly brief, how we spend our days matters profoundly.

David prayed with sober clarity, “LORD, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, and my age is as nothing before You; certainly every man at his best state is but vapor” (Psalm 39:4–5, NKJV). James echoes the same truth: “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).

We speak of long lives and short lives, but compared with eternity, even a century is less than a blink. Our years on earth are like dew on the morning grass, like a breath on a cold window, like mist rising from the sea and disappearing under the sun. We are here for a little while, and then we stand before God.

This is why biblical time management is not merely about efficiency. It is about eternity.

Life is short. Souls are eternal. People are perishing without Jesus Christ. Opportunities to love, serve, witness, and obey do not last forever. Therefore, every day should be treated as a sacred trust.

Moses prayed one of the wisest prayers in all of Scripture: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12). To number our days means to live with the awareness that they are numbered. God has already determined the length of our earthly pilgrimage, and not one second will be added or subtracted apart from His sovereign will.

Wisdom begins when we stop living as though time were ours to spend and start recognizing that it belongs entirely to God.

Solomon wrote that God “has put eternity in their hearts” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Deep within every human being is the haunting awareness that this life is not the whole story. We were made for another world. We were created to know the eternal God and to live in light of an eternal destiny.

Mr. Clive S. Lewis expressed this truth memorably: “If you read history you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next.”

Those who keep heaven in view are often the most useful on earth.

The apostle Paul therefore, urges believers, “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15–16, NKJV). To redeem the time means to buy up every God-given opportunity and use it for what matters most. It means refusing to let precious hours be swallowed by trivialities while eternal matters are neglected.

There is gospel urgency in this command. Jesus said, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few” (Luke 10:2). Multitudes around us are living without the saving knowledge of Christ. The clock is moving relentlessly toward eternity. Every conversation, every kindness, every prayer, every act of faithful witness may become a divine appointment through which God draws someone to Himself.

We are called to love “not in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:17–18). Time spent serving others, encouraging the weary, comforting the grieving, discipling believers, and sharing the gospel is never wasted. Heaven keeps perfect records of what earth often overlooks.

Yet the world is noisy. Responsibilities press in from every side. Endless details, urgent demands, and lesser concerns compete for our attention. If we are not intentional, we can spend our best energy on things that matter least.

For this reason, priorities are essential.

Not everything is equally important. Not every opportunity is equally valuable. Not every demand deserves an immediate yes.

The wise believer learns to distinguish between what is urgent and what is eternal.

Delegation is also a biblical principle. When Moses was overwhelmed by the weight of leadership, his father-in-law Jethro counseled him to share the burden with capable men (Exodus 18:13–22). Even godly servants are finite. We are creatures, not the Creator. Humility acknowledges our limitations and gratefully accepts help.

Scripture also teaches the dignity of diligent labor. God Himself established the rhythm of six days of work and one day of rest. This pattern reveals that productive labor is holy and that restorative rest is equally ordained by God.

Proverbs repeatedly warns against laziness: “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep, so shall your poverty come on you like a prowler” (Proverbs 6:10–11; see also Proverbs 12:24; 13:4; 18:9; 20:4; 21:25; 26:14).

The Gospel of Matthew records Jesus’ Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30), a sobering reminder that God expects faithful stewardship. The tragedy is not merely in doing evil, but in burying what God has entrusted to us and returning it unused.

Time, abilities, opportunities, relationships, and spiritual gifts are all investments placed in our hands by the Master. One day we will hear either His commendation or His rebuke.

Our labor, however, extends far beyond our occupations. Whether we work in ministry, hospitality, business, construction, medicine, or the home, all honest work becomes worship when offered to Christ.

“Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23–24).

This transforms every task. A sermon prepared in prayer, a guest warmly welcomed, a floor swept with integrity, a meal prepared in love, a lesson taught with excellence, a body cared for responsibly, a friend encouraged in Christ, all become offerings laid before the Lord.

Jesus also warned against wasting our lives in pursuit of earthly wealth. “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth... but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19–21). “Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life” (John 6:27).

The question is not whether we are busy. The question is whether we are investing our lives in what will outlast the stars.

Rest, too, is a holy use of time. Rest is not idleness when received with gratitude and used to restore body and soul. God designed us to need sleep, Sabbath rhythms, and seasons of refreshment. Rest humbles us by reminding us that God sustains the universe quite well without our constant activity.

As the psalmist declares, “It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late... for so He gives His beloved sleep” (Psalm 127:2).

Most important of all is daily communion with God.

To neglect time with the Lord is to disconnect from the very source of wisdom, strength, peace, and direction. There is a time to act. Remember Moses before the Red Sea -- it was a time to act in obeying the Lord. Prayer is not an interruption to life; it is the lifeline of life. Scripture is not optional reading; it is the voice of God to the soul. We can pray as we walk or run or drive and God will hear His children. 

Martin Luther reportedly said, “I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”

Those who know God best understand that time spent with Him is never lost. It is multiplied.

The greatest mistake we can make is to manage our schedules as though our lives belong to us. They do not.

Our days belong to God.

Our strength belongs to God.

Our opportunities belong to God.

Our very next heartbeat belongs to God.

Therefore, seek His wisdom. Ask Him to order your steps. Move forward with diligence, but remain sensitive to His providence and open to His interruptions. Some of the most significant moments in life arrive disguised as detours.

If you desire to redeem your time more faithfully, begin with prayerful reflection.

Examine how you are currently spending your days.

Identify what God considers eternally valuable.

Consider the specific callings and responsibilities He has entrusted to you.

Notice what is consuming your attention.

List your priorities before the Lord.

Invite Him to rearrange your life according to His will.

Regular evaluation is wise. Many believers find it helpful to conduct an annual review of their priorities, responsibilities, and stewardship before God.

The Bible consistently directs our gaze away from the fleeting pleasures of this passing world and toward what endures forever.

Time spent in the Word of God is never wasted.

Time spent in prayer is never wasted.

Time spent loving your family is never wasted.

Time spent building up the church is never wasted (Hebrews 10:24–25).

Time spent obeying Christ’s command to love one another is never wasted (John 13:34–35).

Time spent caring for those in need is never wasted (1 John 3:17–18).

Time spent proclaiming the gospel is never wasted (Matthew 28:18–20).

Every one of these investments bears fruit that death itself cannot erase.

Jim Elliot captured this eternal perspective with unforgettable words: “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”

And Jonathan Edwards resolved, “Resolved, never to lose one moment of time, but to improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.”

May God grant us the wisdom of Moses, the urgency of Paul, the heavenly perspective of Lewis, and the wholehearted devotion of Christ Himself.

Live as though every minute matters, because it does.

Love as though every soul is eternal, because every soul is.

Serve as though Jesus were watching, because He is.

And walk with God today, because soon time will be no more, and only what was done for Christ will remain. KnowGod.org
