Glory from the Webb

I can think of no greater example of SEEING the UNSEEN than having the ability to see further into the heavens. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the world’s newest tool to observe the heavens, albeit created to show evidence of the Big Bang in what they hoped would be an overwhelming way. As you may know, it was launched December 25, 2021 and went online revealing its first images July 11th. From the very first image, we see the Lord’s heavens declared in a new and glorious way. Those images also show greater detail than ever before, including that of distant objects.

The now famous Deep Field image from Hubble was the first area imaged by the JWST. The galaxies revealed are in much greater detail than in previous images. JWST not only takes beautiful shots, but they are acquired at a much faster rate than Hubble. What used to take Hubble days or weeks to capture now takes only hours for the JWST. As with any secular group, all research is and will be filtered through an evolutionary worldview first and then is often followed by shock, perplexed minds and more questions than answers. This is true again as from the first image on, the observations and data are causing distress in some that the evolution story of the early universe might be wrong. Allison Kirkpatrick, an astronomer from the University of Kansas, states in a July 27th Nature article, "Right now I find myself lying awake at three in the morning and wondering if everything I’ve done is wrong.”¹ This does not mean she, or any other Big Bang disciples, are giving up their faith in a naturalistic origin of the universe. Many evolutionists are upset that the first reports make it sound as though they are giving up on the Big Bang. They have been adamant that those reports have painted a false picture. Even so, it is obvious there is some concern by the Big Bang disciples over visual data that they cannot easily explain.

As I have anticipated for the last several months, the JWST has the potential to turn the Big Bang on its head. I have no doubt it will continue to support the special creation of our universe a few thousand years ago, with no need for our worldview to be in jeopardy. Stay strong in your faith as the evidence always points to the majesty of our Creator. Blessings.

Lighthouse in front of a Milky Way Galaxy sky

Providence

By Matt Miles • January 23, 2026

As we begin a new year, it brings new potential and a figurative “clean slate”. Yet at all times it is always good to remember that the Lord never changes and neither does His purposes. His desire is that all come to Him for salvation. As it is not all will seek their Creator, yet He is always at work around us guiding life through the present sinful, cursed world. His purposes are always to bring glory to himself as our Great Almighty Lord God. This divine guiding, moving, and protecting of His Spirit in the affairs of life is called Providence , our theme for the year here at Creation Truth. His Providence has always been at work since the beginning, guiding for the purpose he has designed us for. Over the course of history, we as people have missed it or chosen not to follow it. Providence of the Lord is what guided His people out of Egypt to the Promised Land. Even while suffering judgment for their sin in the desert, there was Providence , providing for their needs with daily manna and encouraging them on to the Promised Land. At just the right time, Providence bestowed to us a Savior, Jesus Christ. Never would we have planned or made provision for the Savior of the world in the manner He came to earth. All of His work while in the flesh was done to point us to Him and His Glory. Providence was fulfilled on the cross for all eternity with the way for all to find the Lord and salvation, to be guided out of death and overcome the trial of this life through His death, burial and resurrection. Providence , 250 years ago, guided our country’s forefathers to seek a land to freely worship their Creator and Savior, with freedom from tyranny and a pursuit of liberty for all. Even though not all were followers of the Lord, it was still more than evident that they knew His Providence had a protecting hand on us. Only by His great Providence did we become a country, for the Lord knew we would become a beacon of that freedom and, ultimately, the only true freedom that comes from Christ. Through many trials and failures in history we have sinned before our Lord, and we must continually repent and seek Him for forgiveness. His Providence has allowed our nation of people from many tongues and tribes to melt together. We have been, and I pray continue to be, the largest Christian nation in the world, proclaiming who He is before all else. This year, as we focus on His Providence , may you seek Him and be reminded of all the times He has guided, protected and blessed you for His name. David wrote in Psalm 31:3-5 of the Lord’s Providence : “For You are my high rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me. You will bring me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength. Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have ransomed me, O Yahweh, God of truth.”(LSB) We at Creation Truth Foundation look forward to another year of opportunities to serve, champion, and exalt His Name. May you be guided, protected and blessed through Providence this year.
