In H.G. Wells’ 1897 “The War of the Worlds,” humankind battles an alien force bent on destroying all human life. Humans fight back, but even their mightiest weapons prove useless. Wells is noted for his uncanny predictions about the future: Lasers, genetic engineering, and space travel. Could this nightmarish vision of the future also come true? Some might say it already has.
What killed the aliens who attacked the humans in War of the Worlds? The Martians succumb to a terrestrial bacteria. The bacteria wasn’t visible, but it did the damage.

10 Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets.
