I was 8 years old when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. I know it happened because I watched it on TV! Actually, I think it happened, because I knew one of the engeneers who worked on the Apollo 11 moon flight. But I'm a lot less trusting of the news media today than I was when I was 8!
Anyway, here is a great sermon by the late Dr. Ian R. K. Paisley that was preached shortly after the (alleged!) moon landing:
Moon Madness, by Dr. Ian R. K, Paisley (1926-2014)
The text Ecclesiastes 7:29 (Audio):
"Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."
While I recommend you listen to this whole sermon, here are a few quotes:
"It's not the moon we need to reach. It's the God that placed it there."
"There's one of the cartoons...that's utter blasphemy. Man's sitting on the moon with his feet upon the world. 'The heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool.' That's how far man goes in his blasphemy against God....There's coming a great ruler, and he'll say the same thing: 'I'll sit where God sits!'"
"I know people who sat up half the night to see it, but they never sat up half the night to consider, 'Where will you be in eternity?' What a fool you are!"

"The greatest day in man's history was when Jesus rose from the dead. He brought in a new creation, which shall last longer than the sun and the moon shall endure, and the heavens as we see them today."
