God promised that Abraham’s descendants would be richly blessed around the globe. One of his grandsons, Ephraim, progenitor of the modern-day British-descended peoples, was prophesied to become a “multitude of nations” (Genesis 48:19). That prophecy came to pass in the 1800s—a time when the sun never set on the British Empire. Since then, that empire has slowly...
Before He confused mankind’s languages, God noted that nothing would be impossible for a unified humanity (Genesis 11:1–9)—and our modern era is beginning to reveal such capabilities.

Society today downplays the benefits of marriage as God designed it. Yet followers of Jesus Christ realize that God created marriage to bring a man and woman into a lifelong relationship where the two function together in harmony (Genesis 2:18, 24). Building a happy and successful marriage takes work, time, and intentionality. It is not easy—especially in a...
“If you’ve been thinking it seems like there are more wars raging in the world… you’re right and the data proves it” (NPR, June 9, 2026). A recent study from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) revealed that 2025 saw the highest number of national conflicts since World War II.

However, according to a recent European Council on Foreign Relations survey of 15 European nations, Europeans’ opinions of the U.S. are plummeting (Deutsche Welle, June 10, 2026). Today, just 11 percent of Europeans see America as their ally. This is down from 16...
