On Guard!

The society as a whole is in the grip of what is popularly known as New Age Mysticism. We as Christian parents need to be aware of this trend and protect ourselves and our God-given children from this renewed fascination with Pantheism, New Age Mysticism etc.

Pantheism is a composite word derived from two Greek words ‘Pan’ (All) and ‘Theos’ (God) which presents the view that ‘all is God and God is in all’. In essence, Pantheism promotes worship, or in the least admiration, of all that life is - inclusive of nature, the universe, the laws that govern the galaxies, etc

This fascination with spiritualizing created things is nothing new (Romans 1:24-25) and is once again brought to the forefront with the latest blockbuster "Avatar". It is of great importance that we appreciate society's captivation with the New Age Mysticism and be on guard.

Romans 1:24-25 -Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonouring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.”
