“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” (Colossians 2:8, NIV ‘84)

What is going on now in society and culture that can negatively impact faith in Christ and the biblical worldview? This page includes news events, articles, statements, comments, passages, links to podcasts, videos, etc. to help Christian parents, pastors, teachers, youth, and congregations understand the times so the truth of Christianity and Christ can be distinguished from false worldviews
