Is the “Star of David” the ancient symbol of Israel or the menorah lampstand? Trace the history of this six-pointed star and surprisingly, you will encounter false religions and idolatrous worship.

Why is “the kundalini” also called “the serpent power” by gurus, yoga advocates, and new agers? Is the serpent a symbol of something evil or good? Is there a demon called “a kundalini spirit”? Has it invaded the church? These questions must be answered. www.thetruelight.net

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver recently ended a prayer over the 11th Congress invoking “the monotheistic god, Brahma, and ‘god’ known by many names by many faiths.” This all-inclusive view is surprising especially because he is a former Methodist pastor. My response. www.thetruelight.net

We are on the precipice, about to plunge into the tribulation period. Will the church escape, seven years before the end of the age, by means of a pre-tribulation rapture? Or will there be a post-tribulation catching away, the very last day of this age of grace? Solid answers await.

Almost every nativity scene involves three kings from the Orient riding camels visiting the baby Jesus at a stable in Bethlehem. At least five beliefs associated with this popular tradition are most likely wrong. What are the facts?

The Disney movie “Mulan” promotes Taoism beliefs, like the power of “chi,” ancestor worship, and a deity called “the phoenix.” Though good traits are celebrated like loyalty, bravery, truth, and devotion to family—false religious ideas are also presented.

Buddha’s “Four Noble Truths” state that life is full of suffering and the cause of suffering is desire. So, the way to overcome suffering is to overcome desire. Is that true? Or is there a biblical view that solves the problem of suffering in a more correct and powerful way? www.thetruelight.net .

A science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard founded The Church of Scientology in 1952. It has become one of the most controversial religious cults in modern times. What are some of their major beliefs and why are some of the Hollywood elite attracted to it?

What is “mindfulness” and is it acceptable for Christians? This spiritual practice (often in a watered-down form) is pervading our culture. Though the terms used may seem inviting, the concept is based on a Buddhist worldview. Let’s dig deep and get answers.

Almost every religion promotes a unique view of the future of the universe. These concepts often contradict each other and cannot all be true. Eastern religions are usually cyclical. Mideastern religions tend to be linear. What's the difference? www.thetruelight.net

Why does God allow evil to exist in this world and all the pain that results from it: corrupted hearts, damaged lives, and destroyed dreams? If God is good, why is there so much “bad”? If God created the wicked one perfect (before his fall), how did he ever become wicked? www.thetruelight.net

Many religions offer hope for the future by foretelling the coming of a Messiah-like person who will bring order to this world. Some New Agers teach the coming of Christ will be a mass spiritual awakening. A wide range of other beliefs exist. Learn to distinguish the true from the false. www.thetruelight.net

What is the solution to our spiritual problem? Do we need salvation, liberation, or enlightenment? Every religion offers a unique answer. Compare the doctrines of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity. They do not all say the same thing. www.thetruelight.net

Why is Jesus called the “true light,” the “true bread,” the “true vine” and “the true God” in Scripture? To label something “true” implies the existence of a counterfeit that is “false.” No wonder Jesus said, “Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness” (Luke 11:35). www.thetruelight.net

Learn the difference between New Age affirmations and biblically-based confessions of faith. Many Christians, out of concern they are dabbling in New Age practices, throw out the “baby with the bath water.” This teaching will resolve the issue.

Pranayama is the yogic practice of breath control. Practitioners claim it helps them reach higher levels of consciousness by activating the chakras and intensifying the intake of “prana” (the divine life force). How does this compare to the biblical concept of the breath of God? And why do some popular Christian worship songs actually align with this Hindu concept?

Many religions acknowledge evil spirits exist but differ greatly in explaining how they got here, why they exist, what they are like and how to overcome them. Let’s explore a wide range of beliefs and compare them to the only inspired source of revelation: The Bible.

This idea of the origin of evil has plagued the minds of deep thinkers for thousands of years. How did this world become so wicked? Did God author it? Have people caused this chaos? Do we blame it all on the devil? What’s the root source? More importantly, what is the cure?

Is the practice of chanting mantras a powerful means of achieving enlightenment or a futile and improper attempt at penetrating the realm of the supernatural? What did Jesus say about it? Is the well-known “Jesus Prayer” just a Christian mantra?
