Bridging the Gap - Christianity in the New Age
So often these days, we pick up newspapers or tune in to radio or television programs which highlight yet another attack by one religious group against the beliefs of another. One of the primary targets is a group of spiritual and philosophical concepts described as "New Age."
For many people exploring New Age philosophies, these attacks can seem personal, particularly for those of us raised in traditional Christian homes. In many cases, we turn our backs on the dogma and judgment, and seek guidance from other venues.
However, as we turn away we often discard everything, without regard for that which might hold some truth for us.
Many of the tenets of Christianity, in its purest form, are not only compatible with New Age philosophy, but are the basis of it. The time has come to examine the core of Christian beliefs which, unfortunately, have been obscured by centuries of human agenda and dogma.

I have come here to speak to you as I did in life, I shall do in death, but to serve the one Master, the one God of creation.
"I have come to speak to you and help you find that God who is within your hearts, your souls, who is in every cell of your body and being.
"I am a fisher of men. Disciples, we were called disciples. We are disciples of the God. It is the God that you call God, that you call Jehovah. It is the God that you call Christ. I am the son of the father and am here to tell you that you are the
