When the moon is in the seventh house And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius (from the smash–hit musical HAIR, 1967) The eschatological musings of Aquarian gurus concerning the dawning of a New spiritually–pagan Age can […]
40: Geo–Politics, Pagan Spirituality, and the Scandal of Gospel Witness
At truthXchange, we take seriously the notion of a pagan planet and of the need for Christian witness to it. Such witness becomes more difficult as Christians discover the all–encompassing planetary nature of our world. As they say, a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the globe and a violent storm arises on […]
34: God Save the Queen
Having been raised in the cultural center of the universe-Liverpool, England-and having taught among the Gauls for 18 years in the South of France, I keep my eye on Europe. In the UK, a new Government education policy requires the teaching of “multiculturalism” in every subject. Multiculturalism takes many forms. Christians in the UK, as […]

The culture’s definition of […]
Shifting Sands
by Dr. Peter Jones | April 10, 2020“Lord, what are you saying during this crisis?” That is the question on every Christian’s mind. The mighty, miniscule virus is slaying thousands every day. On March 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci estimated that the US might see between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths before the crisis fades.[1] Christians must yet remain calm, asking God to give us […]
An Elephant Called Fear
by Rebecca Jones | April 8, 2020But if we are to chase the elephant of fear out of our churches, we must allow God to face it down through the power of his love. “God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of love, of power, and of a strong mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). If we are to face down the elephant of fear, we must do it by absorbing God’s forgiveness. “Perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment” (1 John 4:18).
Spirituality: Mindfulness or the Mind of Christ
by Joshua Gielow | March 23, 2020Mrs. Pamela Frost gives a most useful and dense comparative contrast between pagan “Mindfulness” and “the Mind of Christ,” showing clearly how the Mind of Christ distinguishes between the Creator and creation, while Mindfulness blurs distinctions and leads people into the pagan lie of “nonduality.” Eastern spiritualties work against having our minds set on Christ. The […]
