When Fiction Felt Real — And When Reality Will Be Unmistakable

On October 30, 1938, radio listeners across America experienced a moment that would forever be etched into broadcasting history. Orson Welles’ adaptation of The War of the Worlds, aired by CBS, was crafted in such a realistic format that thousands believed a Martian invasion was unfolding before their very ears.

The broadcast was structured as a series of breaking news bulletins interrupting music programming — urgent voices, eyewitness accounts, and escalating reports of destruction. Many listeners tuned in after the opening disclaimer, unaware it was fiction. What followed was confusion, fear, and in some cases, genuine panic.

To this day, the program stands as one of the most famous examples of how powerful a message can be when presented with realism and urgency — blurring the line between imagination and perceived truth.

Yet history invites a deeper question.

If a fictional broadcast could stir hearts, unsettle communities, and cause widespread alarm, what will happen when an event foretold not by dramatists but by Scripture unfolds?

We live in a world where the message of Jesus Christ is often dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood. Faith is sometimes treated as outdated, inconvenient, or irrelevant. Believers can feel like outsiders in a culture that increasingly moves in another direction.

But the Bible speaks of a moment — the Rapture — when Christ will return for His people.

Will that moment awaken those who remain?
Will it provoke curiosity, denial, fear, or indifference?
Will it be explained away, debated, or ignored?

Only time will answer those questions.

For those who doubt, consider this: life itself is a series of decisions about what we believe and where we place our trust. If you have chosen to wager that God’s promises will not come to pass, that is a risk with eternal implications.

Scripture has stood the test of centuries — challenged, examined, criticized, yet enduring. Its message remains unchanged, its warnings consistent, and its invitation open.

Perhaps the greater question is not if these events will occur, but whether we are prepared should they.

Think about it.
Reflect on it.
Pray about it.

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...
