Dr. Timothy Larsen writes about serious, energetic faith in the places other historians assume the faith cannot really be. A Victorian Christian fantasist. A Westminster canon who quietly set aside biblical authority. And, in his newest and most acclaimed book, seventeen Anglican chaplains who came out of the trenches of World War I as radicals. Tim is McManis Professor of Christian Thought at Wheaton College and the 2025 president of the American Society of Church History, and this hour is us moving through three of his books at once. The Fires of Moloch takes its title from H. G. Wells's line describing Britain sending its sons into the fires of a false god during the Passchendaele Offensive. George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles takes the mid-nineteenth-century Scottish theological turn from the Age of Atonement to the Age of the Incarnation and shows what happens when a rigorously Calvinist minister-turned-fantasy-writer decides doubt is the door in, and therefore the door out, of a mature faith. Every Leaf, Line, and Letter returns to Tim's PhD supervisor David Bebbington's famous quadrilateral for defining evangelicalism and asks what it takes to keep that word doing honest work now that polls will code Muslim Trump voters as evangelical. Come for Anglo-Catholic sacramental confession as battle-tested ministry. Stay for the George MacDonald grandmother who burned her son's violin because he enjoyed music too much. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Timothy Larsen is McManis Professor of Christian Thought and Professor of History at Wheaton College, an Honorary Fellow of the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute. He has been a Visiting Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, All Souls College, Oxford, and Christ Church, Oxford. In 2025 he served as President of the American Society of Church History. He has authored or edited more than twenty books. Books at the center of this conversation: The Fires of Moloch: Anglican Clergymen in the Furnace of World War One; George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles: Incarnation, Doubt, and Reenchantment ; and Every Leaf, Line, and Letter: Evangelicals and the Bible from the 1730s to the Present.

Laurie Cardoza-Moore welcomes Yaffah Batya DaCosta back to Proclaiming Justice for a second conversation, this time on communion.Where did the doctrine of transubstantiation actually come from, and does it hold up against the Torah's clear prohibition on consuming blood? DaCosta walks through the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215, the influence of Constantine and the Greco-Roman reshaping of the early church, and what Jesus, a Torah-observant Jew, most likely meant when he said "this is my body, this is my blood."The conversation also touches Deuteronomy 18's prophecy of a coming prophet, and how institutional blindness to these Jewish roots later opened the door to antisemitism within the Church and beyond it. If you've ever wondered how much of what you practice on Sunday actually traces back to Scripture, this episode is for you.Follow, share, and support PJTN's mission to educate Christians in biblical truth at pjtn.org.00:00 Cold Open: Is Communion Against the Torah?01:20 Meet Yaffah Batya DaCosta03:19 Laurie's Catholic Roots and the Question That Started It All05:14 What Is Transubstantiation?

In this message, Eric continues the Red Thread series by diving into one of the most challenging books of the Bible — Leviticus. Rather than a dusty collection of ancient laws, Eric shows that Leviticus is about one of the most urgent questions any person can ask: how do muddy, broken people get to be with a holy God? Working through the clean/unclean/defiled categories of Leviticus, the Day of Atonement, and the book of Hebrews, Eric makes the case that God's primary concern has never been your behavior — it's your position. And through Jesus, that position has changed forever.
BEFORE MAN WAS CREATED, Satan had already rebelled and taken countless angels with him. How many angels and how long before, we don't know. Tragically, the insurrection spread from heaven to earth. At Satan's enticement, the first man and woman defied their Maker, bringing destruction and death upon this new race which God had created in His image.This mutiny had not caught God by surprise but was proceeding exactly as He had foreknown. He was still on the throne of the universe. How could man rebel against God's absolute authority? Clearly, God had sovereignly given man the ability to submit to Him willingly in love. The ability to say yes, however, was meaningless without the equal ability to say no. Thus, the door God opened to loving submission could be slammed shut in willful revolt—as Adam and Eve had done.Some Christians suggest that God willed for Adam and Eve to break His commandment not to eat of the tree of knowledge. Yet sin of any kind is contrary to God's will. He must therefore have allowed sin to enter this world in order to further His ultimate purpose for mankind, all of whom He loves with an infinite love—the only kind of love that God, who is love, bestows.

The Day of Atonement, known in Hebrew as Yom Kippur, is one of the most profound pictures in all of Scripture of what Jesus Christ would accomplish on the cross. Positioned at the center of Leviticus, which itself sits at the center of the Torah, this ancient ceremony was never merely a Jewish ritual. It was a carefully designed preview of the gospel. Once a year, the high priest of Israel would enter the Holy of Holies, the most sacred space in the tabernacle, as the sole representative of the people before God. He came not in ornate robes but in simple linen, because linen does not cause sweat. The message embedded in that detail is striking: you do not earn your way into God's presence. You receive it. This same pattern finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, one man, one sacrifice, one way to the Father.The ceremony also involved two goats, each representing a different dimension of what atonement accomplishes. The first goat was sacrificed, its blood shed as payment for sin. The second, known as the scapegoat, had the sins of the people symbolically placed upon it before being sent into the wilderness, never to return. Together, these two goats illustrate what Jesus does for every person who trusts in Him. He pays the penalty for sin and removes it entirely, as far as the east is from the west. The book of Hebrews makes clear that Jesus is the ultimate High Priest who entered the true Holy of Holies, not with the blood of animals repeated year after year, but with His own blood, once for all time, securing eternal redemption.The practical implications of this truth are life-changing. When Jesus died on the cross, the veil separating the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple was torn from top to bottom, a declaration that the barrier between God and humanity had been permanently removed. Because of Jesus, every believer has direct access to God at any moment, not because of personal merit or religious effort, but because of what Christ has done. Approaching God with intentional humility, coming to receive rather than to achieve, is the posture that reflects a true understanding of atonement. The message has not changed in thousands of years. Sin is real, but Jesus is better, and through Him, anyone can be made at one with God again.
This week I speak with Paul Smith, a former Stake President and dedicated volunteer prison chaplain for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the UK. I wanted to chat with him about his unique journey into prison ministry and the unexpected spiritual insights he has gained while ministering to incarcerated individuals. What began as a simple request to visit a youth acquaintance transformed into years of compassionate service, offering hope, scriptural teaching, and Christlike mercy to those serving time in Victorian-style prisons.We explore the profound spiritual realities of prison chaplaincy, the transformative power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and how seeing inmates through the eyes of the Saviour changes everything.Some highlights from this episode include:Worshipping Across the Globe: Reflections on Paul's recent world travel, the humbling experience of being a stranger in foreign congregations, and the unique camaraderie of holding improvised Sunday School classes at sea.An Unintentional Calling: Paul shares the surprising story of how a request to visit a friend led to a nine-month clearance process, only to discover he had accidentally applied to become an authorized prison chaplain and that over 20 inmates were listed as members of the Church.Life Inside the Walls: A look into the daily statutory duties of a prison chaplain, from checking on inmates in segregation units to welcoming newly arrived prisoners and navigating strict security and safety protocols.The "Hot Chocolate" Anomaly: A light-hearted yet insightful discussion on why many inmates claim membership in the Church, the unique culture of prison chaplaincy, and how simple perks open doors for genuine gospel conversations and Book of Mormon placements.Seeing Inmates as the Saviour Sees Them: Paul shares deeply moving personal experiences about looking past heinous crimes, recognizing the tragic circumstances of upbringing, and witnessing the infinite reach of God's mercy and redemption.Inter-Faith Fellowship: The inspiring dynamic between chaplains of diverse faiths, from Imams and rabbis to pagan and Rastafarian ministers, working together with pure motives to bring light to those in darkness.For further Information of serving in Prison Ministry as a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints see the link:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/prison-ministry/general-principles/1-1-introduction?lang=engFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.
Dr. Cristine Hull is an integrative mental health practitioner, author, and developer of the Zero Point Meridian technique. With a Master's in Psychology and a Ph.D. in Natural Medicine, she brings over two decades of experience as a substance abuse counselor, school psychologist, and private practitioner. Drawing from her own journey through depression, anxiety, addiction, and a profound spiritual awakening, Cristine works at the intersection of brain chemistry, energy medicine, and the quantum field. She is the creator of the Four Bodies model and trains practitioners in tools that address the physical, vital, mental, and quantum levels of healing. Based in northern Utah, she continues to teach, write, and guide people toward deeper wholeness through her work at Health, Healing & Wholeness.In this episode, Cristine and I cover a wide-ranging conversation that moves from brain chemistry and addiction into spiritual awakening, energy medicine, and what real healing actually requires.Cristine shares her personal journey through severe depression, anxiety, and substance use, and how those experiences led her into decades of work as a counselor and integrative practitioner. She introduces her Four Bodies model (physical, vital, mental, and quantum) and explains why most lasting change has to address more than just the physical level. The conversation explores sugar as part of the narcotic continuum, the difference between dopamine and endorphin addiction, the spiral of recovery she developed while teaching in a jail, and the powerful spiritual experience she had on Yom Kippur that shifted everything. We also dig into entities and generational energy, the development of her Zero Point Meridian technique, the “neutral game” for quieting the mental body, and why conventional mental health often falls short with personality disorders and chronic pain. Cristine closes by pointing back to the deeper truth underneath the endorphin chase: capital-L Love.Timestamps0:00 – Elevator pitch / “junkyard love” framing and four bodies intro1:30 – Four Bodies for Medicines ebook and physical vs. vital/mental/quantum3:00 – Wind analogy for spirit/effects on the physical body4:30 – Personal history: chemical imbalance, depression, anxiety, substances6:30 – First career in substance-abuse counseling; self-medication insight8:00 – Serotonin, carbs, Potatoes Not Prozac, wheat sensitivity discovery9:30 – Endorphins as “inner orphan” / morphine parallel; sugar as narcotic continuum11:00 – Dopamine vs. endorphins; cocaine, bipolar diagnosis, mastering the middle path13:00 – Love addiction, romantic craving, spiral model (abstinence → moderation → attainment)15:00 – Jail curriculum development; 20 years clean vs. relationship patterns still unresolved16:30 – Yom Kippur night/boyfriend breakup; Day of Atonement context18:00 – Light shaft experience through the crown/spine; “whole and complete through divine connection”19:30 – Kundalini as vital-body tool (chakras, meridians, aura)21:00 – Growing up Christian, leaving religion, seeking freedom from guilt and pain22:30 – Cocaine phase; friend returning from overdose funeral; entity/attachment theory24:30 – “Perverse energy” (Quantum University language); generational clearing26:00 – First Kundalini session clearing grandfather's heavy emotion27:30 – EFT training (2002–2003, Gary Craig); shift to private practice29:00 – Zero Point Meridian (ZPM) development; claimed superiority data vs. EMDR31:00 – Mental body chaos of positive/negative thinking; neutrality / “neutral game”34:00 – Yoga entry via client accountability + Baron Baptiste Journey into Power36:00 – Gap between stimulus and response; mind-body necessity of yoga37:30 – TM interest; Vipassana documentary (Doing Time, Doing Vipassana)39:00 – Mahasati movement meditation; fear that stillness = non-existence / black hole41:00 – Moving through zero; zero-point field → unified field; John Hagelin / Frank Kinslow52:00 – Limits of conventional mental health on personality disorders (narcissism, borderline, ego structures)54:00 – Spiritual/quantum solution as transformative where pills and talk therapy fall short56:00 – Quantum Solutions Masterclass / ego-structure component57:30 – Chronic pain and the pain body (Eckhart Tolle); noticing pain-free body parts as anchors59:00 – Endorphins at quantum level = capital-L Love; closing gratitudeKEYWORDS:Four bodies model, Zero Point Meridian, ZPM technique, quantum body, vital body, endorphin continuum, sugar addiction recovery, love addiction spiral, attainment model, perverse energy, generational clearing, Yom Kippur awakening, Kundalini vital body, neutral game mindfulness, Quantum Wholeness Meditation, Love Solve Method, Frequency Formulas, personality disorder spiritual solution, pain body Eckhart Tolle, brain chemistry natural balance, EFT to ZPM evolution, Cache Valley healer, integrative mental health Utah.Checkout more Cristine here! :Website: Cristine HullYoutube - Health, Healing, & Wholeness - YouTubeInstagram - Author Cristine Hull (@cristine.author)LinkedIn - Cristine Hull PhD LinkedinFaceBook - Author Cristine Hull • FacebookQuotes from Cristine in the episode:“Love is an answer.

Leviticus 16 Leviticus 16 records the instructions for the Day of Atonement celebration. This annual day of fasting and worship provided atonement for the Tabernacle and for all the sins of Israel. It finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus whose death provided full and final cleansing from sin.

In the Old Testament book of Leviticus, God's glory fills the tabernacle… but suddenly, no one can go in. The exodus brought Israel out of Egypt, but it didn't take Egypt out of Israel. God wants to dwell with His people—raising the ultimate question: How can a holy God live alongside a broken humanity without consuming them? Why all the bloody sacrifices, skin parameters, and dietary codes? Is Leviticus just a bizarre ancient rulebook, or the structural roadmap of God restoring Eden? What actually happens on the Day of Atonement when a scapegoat carries a nation's rebellion into the wilderness? On today's episode, we take a flyover of Leviticus with a low-altitude look into its center. We'll unpack how ancient priests, scapegoats, and holy calendars point directly to Jesus—and why holiness isn't about isolating yourself, but living set apart to radically love others. If ancient rituals couldn't permanently fix the human heart… what can?
In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 322), I take you into the powerful message of the Book of Hebrews and its connection to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Hebrews was written to believers who were tempted to look back, but its message is clear: Jesus is better. Better than the angels, better than Moses, better than Aaron, better than the old covenant, and better than every sacrifice that was ever offered. What the Law, the Tabernacle, and the priesthood could only foreshadow, Jesus fulfilled completely through His death, resurrection, and eternal ministry as our High Priest. From Hebrews 1, Hebrews 8–10, and Leviticus 16, we discover that Jesus is both the perfect sacrifice and the fulfillment of the scapegoat who carried away the sins of the people. His atonement is not annual but eternal. If you have ever wondered whether God's forgiveness is sufficient, whether Christ is enough, or how the Old Testament points directly to the cross, this message will strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of the finished work of Jesus Christ. No matter what you face, this truth remains: Jesus is better.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - The Day of Atonement(00:01:33) - Hebrews(00:03:19) - The Book of Hebrews(00:11:45) - Paul on Melchizedek and the New Covenant(00:15:48) - The Tabernacle of Jesus(00:21:31) - Comparatives in the Book of Hebrews(00:26:25) - The Book of Hebrews(00:30:32) - Yom Kippur(00:38:28) - Jesus is Better Than Moses
Proper 10: Is. 55; Ps. 65; Rom. 8:7-17; Matt. 13:1-9, 18-23 (Malikie Fornah)
Leviticus is one of the most overlooked books in the Bible, yet it carries a profound answer to one of the most important questions anyone can ask: how does an unholy person connect with a holy God? Built around the concept of holiness, the book moves through sacrifices, priestly ordination, and purity laws, all building toward one goal: bringing God's people from outside the tent of meeting to inside it. At the very center of Leviticus is the Day of Atonement, the moment when sins are forgiven. This is no coincidence. Atonement is the heartbeat of the Old Testament, and it points directly forward to Jesus Christ.In Leviticus 8, God instructs Moses to ordain Aaron as the high priest. Aaron was called by God, cleansed through sacrifice, and clothed in holy garments that identified his role as a mediator between the people and a holy God. Blood was placed on his right earlobe, his right thumb, and his right big toe, symbolizing a life devoted to hearing God, serving God, and walking with God. He wore a breastplate bearing the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, carrying the people over his heart every time he entered God's presence. Yet for all of this, Aaron was still a flawed man. He led the people into idolatry with the golden calf, proving that no human high priest could ever truly save anyone. He was an imperfect picture pointing toward something far greater.Jesus is the greater High Priest that Aaron could only foreshadow. He was chosen by the Father, lived without sin, and gave Himself as a ransom for all of humanity. Through Him, believers are no longer standing outside the tent but have become the very dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. First Peter 2:9 declares that every believer is part of a royal priesthood, called to proclaim the excellencies of God and invite others into His presence. Just as the high priest carried the names of God's people over his heart, believers today are called to carry the names of those around them in prayer and look for every opportunity to bring them closer to God.
How do we move forward from being healed to being truly cleansed?In this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, filmmaker Taylor Riley of “Scripture Central” and “Messages of Christ” shares the remarkable story behind “The Cleansing of the Leper”, a Praiseworthy Award-winning short film that brings one of the Bible's most overlooked passages to life.Together with Scott and Darla, we explore the rich symbolism found in Leviticus 14 and Mark 1, uncovering profound connections between the cleansing ritual, the Savior's Atonement, and the sacred patterns that continue throughout the restored gospel.Taylor also gives a behind-the-scenes look at filming on the Church's Goshen set, the creative process of translating ancient scripture into visual storytelling, and the importance of helping modern audiences experience the scriptures beyond reading them.Through powerful insights and personal experiences, this conversation invites us to see ourselves in the story of the leper and to remember that through Jesus Christ, healing is only the beginning, while true cleansing and transformation await all who come unto Him.*** Please hit SUBSCRIBE to get our latest episodes, and hit the SHARE button to help us share Taylor's story and light with others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/wrEmY5y0xWg-----To WATCH Taylor's film, “The Cleansing of the Leper,” visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl0CCIj0Fg8&tTo WATCH more of Taylor's work on “Scripture Central,” visit: https://www.scripturecentral.org/To WATCH more of Taylor's work on the “Messages of Christ” YouTube channel, visit: https://www.youtube.com/@messagesofChrist-----To READ Scott's new book “Faith to Stay” for free, visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/-----Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

What is the recapitulation theory of the atonement? Is the recapitulation theory of the atonement a valid understanding of Christ's atoning sacrifice?
This week, the great Sadie Rose Darwish returns to discuss Saoirse's other, failed 2017 Oscar hopeful On Chesil Beach. The story of ill-matched newlyweds dealing with class and gender expectations in 1960s England, the movie, an adaptation of a novella by Atonement scribe Ian McEwan, marks an attempted return to safe territory for Saoirse to somewhat disastrous results.

Freedom of Israelites who had sold themselves in slavery B. Observations 1. The Jubilee is not socialism 2. Free enterprise capitalism is taught in the Bible 3. Economic independence is desirable Application A. Have you forfeited economic liberty because of sin? B. For what purpose do you desire this liberty? 1. If it's to spend it on yourself, then you're a materialist 2. Rather, you should aim at eternal values C. Trust in Jesus, who is the Savior 1. He gave up His riches, so we could be made rich 2. He became a servant/slave, so we could be free 3. He gave Himself over to death, so that we might have life
Pastor Jim uses the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22 to explore the profound nature of spiritual testing. He differentiates between satanic temptation, which seeks to expose human evil, and divine testing, which aims to cultivate and reveal a believer's faith. Central to the message is the concept of obedience as worship, illustrating that a person's true devotion is proven when they prioritize God over their most cherished earthly loves. He further identifies the ram provided by God as a precursor to substitutionary atonement, drawing a direct parallel between Isaac's reprieve and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Finally, he emphasizes that enduring these "fiery trials" with integrity serves as a generational legacy, teaching families how to trust God's providence. Through this lens, human existence is defined not by the pursuit of comfort, but by the glorification of the Creator under all circumstances.Support the showThanks for listening!

Rosh Hashanah to Hanukkah: Mapping Daniel's Final Week (2550 Days) In this episode of Right On Radio Jeff presents a detailed, scripture-based proposed timeline for the 70th week of Daniel — a seven-year prophetic period he and a fellow transformed listener believe could begin in 2025 and conclude in 2032. Jeff emphasizes up front that no one knows the exact day or hour (Matthew 24:36) and clarifies he is not claiming certainty; instead he walks listeners through key assumptions, biblical data, and corroborating prophecies worth weighing. Topics covered include: the distinction between the seven-year tribulation and Daniel's 70th week; why the presenter anchors his timeline on Jewish fall feasts (Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets as a proposed start and Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement as an end); inclusive biblical counting; and how the total of 2,550 days (and sub-periods of 1,260, 1,290 and 1,335 days) lines up between September 23, 2025 and September 15, 2032 in this scenario. Key dates noted in the talk include a possible start on Rosh Hashanah (Sept 23, 2025), an abomination of desolation falling on Passover (April 4, 2029), the cessation of daily sacrifices, and Hanukkah (Nov 27–28, 2032) as the start of the millennial kingdom. The episode cites multiple scriptural anchors and corroborating lines of evidence: Daniel 9, 12; Revelation passages about 1,260 and 1,290 days; Daniel's 2,300 days; Hosea's ‘‘after two days… third day'' prophecy interpreted alongside 2 Peter 3:8; the fig tree generation and Israel's rebirth in 1948; and historical starting points tied to Jerusalem's restoration. Orthogonal prophecies and the idea of Biblical Year 6000 (placing a 2029–2032 window for the end of the age) are also discussed. Jeff names and briefly describes the collaborator behind the presentation — a highly capable and radically transformed fellow listener — and acknowledges influences (including some teachings of Tim Cohen) while warning this is not a sensationalized conspiracy piece. He also notes contemporary circumstantial events — mentions of Trump, King Charles, the Pope, AI and the emerging ‘‘beast system'' — but keeps the core presentation focused on scriptural timelines and dates rather than geopolitical speculation. He shares a personal sign (hearing a loud shofar from his backyard) and explains how that felt emotionally and biblically significant to him. The episode closes with pastoral exhortation: be watchful and ready (Matthew 24:42), disciple and care for the flock, live out the Great Commission, and prepare spiritually regardless of calendar calculations. Listeners are invited to view the posted graphic, comment, and engage respectfully with the timeline and its assumptions. Thank you for Listening!.

Is atonement for sin possible without blood — or is that just a Christian idea imposed on the Hebrew Bible? Dr. Michael Brown digs into the original Hebrew to test every text that seems to offer atonement through prayer, incense, flour, or good deeds. You'll walk through word-by-word Hebrew analysis, rabbinic commentary, and a personal testimony that shows what's really at stake in the answer. ~~~FRONTL|NE Newsletter: https://thelineoffire.org/newsletterDonate: https://thelineoffire.org/donate-one-timeX: https://twitter.com/DrMichaelLBrownYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LFTVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichaelbrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ASKDrBrownWebsite: https://thelineoffire.orgRadio Broadcast from The Line of Fire Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In Redcrown, opportunity and danger go hand in hand. The crew of The Godsinger meet Lemo Saeve of The Timberflow Mercantile, who offers them a job with high stakes: pirates are strangling trade across the Mesoreia, and he needs a daring crew to put an end to it.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy, the stuff of which the universe is made, can neither be created nor destroyed. Two conclusions follow:1. The total energy in the universe remains constant, and2. Energy must be self-existent and eternal—exactly what the Bible says about God.Is science promoting energy as “God”?The second law of thermodynamics states that while total energy remains constant, usable energy and order continually decrease as entropy increases. Common sense tells us that all fires eventually burn out. Neither our sun nor the other stars could have been burning forever. There must have been a time when neither stars nor the energy of which they consist existed. Clearly, the universe had a beginning, as the Bible declares: “In the beginning...” (Genesis 1:1).
