  "'The Pride of Your Power'—25 Years After 9/11" - William Bowmer 12.09.2026 5min

  This year, as God’s people ushered in the annual Feast of Trumpets at sunset on September 11, many were also thinking of a momentous September 11 that shook the world 25 years ago. God warned long ago that the pride of a modern superpower grown from ancient Israel’s descendants would be broken due to sin. How are we seeing that come true in the United States today? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/news-and-prophecy/the-old-nuclear-order-is-dead

  "The Lunch Pail" - J. Davy Crockett III 09.09.2026 4min

  Becoming dissatisfied with our circumstances starts early in many people. Even children, rather than being thankful, will sometimes grouse about the things provided for them. There is a story of a little boy from a time when children in small rural schools would bring their lunch from home in lunch boxes, lunch bags, or a pail that might have originally been a syrup bucket. This youngster was not happy with what his mother sent for his school lunch. He sullenly thought, “It’s just not enough and I don’t like it, anyway.” And so in this attitude, he hit upon a plan. - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/the-lunch-pail

  "Further Reflections on the End of 'Pax Americana'" - Michael Heykoop 02.09.2026 5min

  A little more than 15 years ago, at the height of the Arab Spring and shortly after the war in Afghanistan officially became the longest war in American history, we here at Tomorrow’s World commented on America’s decreasing capacity (and desire) to serve as a referee or policeman on the world stage, and then again in June of 2022. Many could see that the so-called “Pax Americana” was coming to an end. How far have we seen the world progress towards the time when the United States would no longer play a major role in global security, and what can we expect in the coming years? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/further-reflections-on-the-end-of-pax-americana

  "The Importance of Covenants" - Roger Meyer 29.08.2026 4min

  Bible students are generally familiar with two covenants in the Bible: The Old Covenant and the New Covenant. But there are more covenants in the Bible than one might think. In fact, in the New King James Version of the Bible the word covenant appears 315 times. What can we learn about the value of God’s covenants with His people? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/the-importance-of-covenants

  "Social Influence and Godly Wisdom" - Jonathan McNair 22.08.2026 4min

  In 2016, American psychiatrist and distinguished professor at Johns Hopkins University Dr. Paul McHugh wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal titled “A New Semester, a New Approach to Campus Turmoil.” Though he may not have realized it, Dr. McHugh touched on an important biblical principle as he covered the story of a Yale professor coming under heavy criticism for what some considered racially provocative comments. - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/social-influence-and-godly-wisdom-0

  "Rushing to Judgment" - Roger Meyer 19.08.2026 4min

  Many people today are quick to condemn others when they hear or see an accusation, even if proof is lacking. Social media lights up like an electrical storm, filled with hateful and vitriolic comments and horrific threats, including bodily harm and death, toward the accused. How are we to make sense of it all and avoid the danger ourselves? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/rushing-to-judgment
• 
  "The White Line" - Richard Franz 15.08.2026 4min

  Technological advancement usually trends toward increasing what we can do and where we can go. But we might benefit even more when we develop technology that shows us what not to do and where not to go—as we see from a brilliant 1950s invention that still saves lives to this day. - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/the-white-line
• 
  "Beware the Marketplace!" - J. Davy Crockett III 12.08.2026 6min

  A free and open marketplace can be an engine for prosperity. People have the need and desire for goods and services, which in turn provides endless opportunities for entrepreneurs to meet the demand. And yet, unregulated commerce is fraught with unwanted risks and potential hazards, which you can learn to avoid! - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/beware-the-marketplace
• 
  "The Cities of Tomorrow" - Ryan Dawson 08.08.2026 4min

  From the Jetsons’ flying cars to Marty McFly’s self-tying shoes, we all have desired to see a glimpse of what the future will be like. Yet, where are the flying cars? Where are my self-tying shoes? Will men soon set foot on Mars? Perhaps most importantly, what are the communities of tomorrow really going to look like? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/the-cities-of-tomorrow

  RM_Confession_WLWRec 01.08.2026 4min

  Have you heard the saying, “Confession is good for the soul”? This exact statement is not in the Bible, but the principle of confessing our sins is. What and to whom do we confess, and why? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/is-confession-good-for-the-soul

  "Take One Now or Wait for Two" - Richard Franz 25.07.2026 4min

  Have you ever found yourself waiting in line, online, or for something big in your life to come down the line, and had to remind yourself that, whatever the situation, the hoped-for object would be “worth the wait”? No one likes to wait (especially when we’re young), but it’s very nearly a universal human experience that we all have to wait for something. And indeed, we can learn a lot from studying how well—or poorly—different people apply the vitally important principle of delayed gratification—that is, choosing to wait or pursue something carefully rather than always seeking after immediate rewards! - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/take-one-now-or-wait-for-two

  "What Is FOMO?" - Joseph Bernard 22.07.2026 4min

  We live in a world that is constantly telling us we are missing out on the best life has to offer. Whether it’s a limited-time sale, a short theatrical run of a movie, or even a chicken sandwich promoted with “get it while it lasts,” the message is the same: We must get what we feel we need now or risk missing out forever. This feeling has a name: FOMO or the fear of missing out. How can we not only avoid this fear, but be reassured that we will not miss out on a fulfilling existence now and in the future? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/what-is-fomo
• 
  "Is National Pride in the Bible?" - Roger Meyer 18.07.2026 5min

  How should a Christian—one who believes and follows the true teachings of Jesus Christ—view national pride? Is “Christian nationalism” God’s intent? Should we celebrate national holidays? What are our obligations as citizens or residents of the country we call home? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/is-national-pride-in-the-bible
• 
  "Consider the Ant and Be Wise" - Justin D. Ridgeway 11.07.2026 5min

  Storms, wildfires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters have frequently dominated the news over the past several years. These catastrophes cause massive power outages, food shortages, and billions of dollars in damages to personal lives and property. Natural disasters are going to happen, and sometimes they come without warning. Will you be ready when more disaster comes? Are you preparing like the ant? - Full Commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/consider-the-ant-and-be-wise

  "No Mood to Celebrate America at 250?" - Roger Meyer 08.07.2026 4min

  According to various polls, a substantial proportion of Americans have not been in the mood to celebrate the semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and foundation of the United States of America. Why? And what does it tell us about the state of the union? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/no-mood-to-celebrate-america-at-250
• 
  "Is Humanity Capable of Self-Government?" - Roger Meyer 04.07.2026 4min

  Citizens become excited when hearing the promises of those running for political office: jobs, lower taxes, economic prosperity, and peace and safety. Slogans offer bright promises, and documents like the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, and the Gettysburg Address plead for fair, just, and equal treatment of citizens in eloquent words. But do those in power follow them? Why do they sooner or later fall into corruption? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/is-humanity-capable-of-self-government
• 
  "The View from 1526" - William Bowmer 01.07.2026 5min

  As the United States prepares to observe its semiquincentennial on July 4—the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which announced the founders’ intent to separate from Great Britain—Americans are reflecting on the ways their nation has changed since then. But can you imagine yourself, in 1776, looking back 250 years before the birth of your nation? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/the-view-from-1526
• 
  "A Two-Tiered Justice System?" - Roger Meyer 27.06.2026 4min

  Many have heard allegations in the news recently that a two-tiered justice system exists in the United Kingdom, although the concept is hardly new, nor are such complaints limited to any one particular country. The United States has certainly had its share of controversy. Should some get preferential treatment over others? What does God say about justice? - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/a-two-tiered-justice-system
• 
  "It's Your Choice" - J. Davy Crockett III 24.06.2026 5min

  The Declaration of Independence, written in Philadelphia in 1776 after months of debate and negotiation, contains a beautiful statement of principle: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It is an uplifting concept—recognizing, of course, shared equality in the eyes of the law and before our Creator. Yet, from that starting point, equality often seems to evaporate. - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/its-your-choice

  "True Liberty" - Roger Meyer 17.06.2026 5min

  Liberty is defined as the power to act as one pleases. It is a state of independence and autonomy, of being free from restrictions and of having the right to self-determination. Liberty may be defined in different ways when speaking of it politically, philosophically, or religiously. Some may define liberty as the right to do whatever they want, whenever they want, with whomever they want! But most of us realize that true and lasting liberty comes with moral and ethical restrictions. - Full commentary here: https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/true-liberty
