Christians must realize that you cannot preach the Gospel without the first statement of the creed, as the apostle Paul shows. Christ the Savior is the Creator. Christ is “the image of the invisible God,…by [whom] all things were created,… the firstborn from the dead, [who] made peace by the blood of his cross”(Col 1:15-20). Of his world, as the angel Gabriel declared, there will be no end (Luke 1:33). May Christmas 2012 remind us of that unique birth, the proof that God, not the Mayan calendar, is in control of history.
Guidance for the New Age: “Evangelical” Spirit Guides
Originally appeared in Tabletalk Magazine The New Age turns a major Christian problem into a piece of cake.

The Spirituality of Politics
by Dr. Peter Jones | August 24, 2020As we approach the 2020 presidential elections, Christians should think deeply about their vote.
