Exploring Mars, Embracing God’s Creation: A Pastor’s Reflection on Science, Scripture, and Salvation

As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I marvel at God’s creation through space exploration, from NASA’s Mars rovers to the Space Shuttle’s legacy. Yet, as a young Earth creationist, I reject carbon dating’s flawed billions-of-years claims, affirming a 6,000–10,000-year-old universe per Genesis. Mars’ Jezero Crater, possibly once a lake, declares God’s glory, not alien life. Humanity, one race from Adam and Eve, is Earth’s focus. I pray Elon Musk, via SpaceX, finds Christ, his influence glorifying the Creator. Let Mars and the cosmos point us to Jesus (Romans 1:20, Psalm 8:9).

Answering Tough Theological Questions with Biblical Truth

Pastor Barron Greenwalt addresses tough theological questions for En-Joy Ministries, affirming a young earth creation view and the authority of Scripture. Hell is real, but God’s justice and love meet at the cross, offering salvation. The Genesis account supports a young earth, and science reveals God’s design, not conflict. Evolution is not needed; God created directly. In a pluralistic society, Christians must share the Gospel with love, listening, and pointing to Jesus. En-Joy Ministries invites seekers to explore God’s truth and equips believers to answer questions boldly, proclaiming Christ’s hope with compassion.

What the Bible Says About Heaven’s Structure

The Bible presents heaven as a tangible, structured place rather than an abstract concept. Described as a divine throne room and prepared city, it contrasts earthly realms through its eternal holiness, abundance, and direct communion with God. Concerns about heaven often stem from misunderstandings rather than scriptural teachings.
