One of the favorite themes of literature is deliverance.

We learn and communicate so much more when we meet face to face. Words are a big part of communication, but the face expresses much of what is in the heart. King David of Israel, the Psalmist, spoke of seeking God’s face. How can we seek God’s face if we can’t see Him? - https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/face-to-face

For as far back as I can remember, I’ve heard people say “I hope so” to express their desire for something to become a reality.

How great is your hope? - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/i-hope-so

You may have noticed that the use of profanity and other vulgar language seems to have increased in recent years. A Saturday Evening Post article from November 5, 2024, reported, “If you think American speech has slid from a ‘PG’ to an ‘R’ rating, you’re not alone. It appears that profane speech is becoming more common in America.” In March of 2025, the New York Times ran an article that asked, “Is There Too Much Cursing These Days?” Is this the natural progression of a decades-long trend of worsening language? What might this mean for the overall moral condition of the United States and other countries? - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/increasing-profanity-and-declining-dignity

Memorials are some of the “foundation stones” upon which the concept of society is built. Memorial Day in the United States has been officially observed since 1868. With the “COVID years” a receding memory and with an acrimonious election year behind us, many Americans are as eager as ever for the opportunity that national holidays provide—whatever the plans may be. Memorial Day, however, as is often noted, is not just a day for barbecues and beaches. - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/an-everlasting-memorial

A December 2024 TechCrunch article titled “What are AI ‘world models,’ and why do they matter?” addresses a technology poised to significantly advance artificial intelligence. These “world model” systems aim to train AI by simulating real-world actions and their consequences, enabling machines to predict outcomes with increasing accuracy. Will these efforts create technological “prophets” able to foretell the future? - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/ai-world-models-producing-technological-prophets

For those hurt by verbal abuse, especially from someone close, the old “sticks and stones” adage is little consolation.

And, what can help to prevent or overcome it? - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/the-enduring-quality-of-kindness

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is growing exponentially and changing our world at a dizzying pace. Almost every sector of society is making use of this technology, including manufacturing, government, military, transportation, banking, education, healthcare, and agriculture.

As the conclave to select the next Roman Catholic pontiff begins, many Vatican-watchers are wondering: Where will Francis’ successor fit in the panorama of end-time prophecy? For centuries, each new pope has been eyed against a document known as the “Prophecy of St. Malachy,” first published in 1595—said to be the Irish monk Malachy’s twelfth-century vision of 112 men who would lead the Roman church, with each given a brief motto—often tied to a birthplace, heritage, or coat of arms—beginning with Celestine II in 1143 and ending with a man called Petrus Romanus, “Peter the Roman.” - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/malachy-or-malachi

Pope Francis, formerly Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina before being elected to the papal office, died this Monday morning. He had appeared at St. Peter’s Basilica the day before, too weak to deliver the traditional Easter message but able to pronounce a blessing on the assembled crowd of thousands and to meet with United States Vice President JD Vance. - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/after-pope-francis-whats-next-for-the-roman-catholic-church

Throughout history, many millions of people have lived in nations where a state religion was enforced. Some of these religions have been relatively mild in their influence, while others have been severe. Even today, despite the trend toward secularism, dozens of nations have at least a nominal state religion. Modern generations have grown up during a period of secularism in Western nations, and many may be tempted to think that the country in which they live will never be under a state religion. But such thinking naïvely ignores thousands of years of history, as well as Bible prophecies concerning the end-times. - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/is-a-state-religion-in-your-future

Easter traditions, cherished by millions as important parts of their religious lives, have no basis in the Bible. In fact, there is no command to observe the Messiah’s resurrection as a specific holy day in Scripture. Of course, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is essential to our Heavenly Father’s plan of salvation, and there are instructions in the New Testament for a solemn observance commanded for Christians today, which was instituted centuries before Jesus Christ walked the dusty roads of Galilee and Judea. - Full text here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/a-splash-of-blood

The cool, bright spring morning was nearly perfect for an invigorating walk. As I approached a wooded green belt, the delightful sweet smell of honeysuckle in bloom wafted over me.
