    Old Gods, New Names: The Spirits Behind Post-Modern Idolatry

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Nov 12, 2025
     | 110 views

    Idolatry is not confined to the ancient past — it is humanity’s oldest and most persistent sin. Though the names and forms have changed, the same spirits remain.

    Brothers and sisters, idolatry is not a relic of the ancient world. It is the oldest sin in human history — and the most enduring. From Eden to Egypt, from Babylon to the boardroom, the human heart has always had a tendency to build altars to other gods. The names have changed, but the spirits ...read more

We are told that the church today needs to be "light on doctrine" (quoted in an article on the Seeker-Sensitive ...read more

    Who is the church for? Believers or unbelievers? Or to use more contemporary terms - churched or unchurched. Listen today as Pastor Steve addresses who is the church in the midst of the seeker-sensitive movement.
