Author: Christian News
Christian News is a newspaper that covers current events in the theological secular arenas and how they affect your church and life.
Christian News is not an official organ of any church-body, but an independent publication designed to supply rank and file Christians with information needed to face the present crises in Christendom.
Christian News is not a doctrinally neutral observer, but is committed to the full historic Christian faith, as it is authoritatively revealed in the written Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, and correctly set forth in the Confessions of the Orthodox Church to wit, the Book of Concord in 1580.

The Authority and Power of Christian Doctrine
Rev. Andrew J. PreusTrinity Ev. Luth. ChurchNew Haven, MO We run into problems when we frame the relationship between the Bible and faith in Christ purely chronologically.
