(what is Allelon |
A
young man takes a class by Dallas Willard, and he is introduced
to contemplative prayer. |
"I
bumped into the classic spiritual disciplines while taking a course
called "Dynamics of Christian Life" in my second year of Bible school.
One of our textbooks was The Spirit of the Disciplines by
Dallas Willard. The course and textbook only touched on the actual
disciplines, but the concept captivated me. The following spring,
I found a copy of Richard Foster's spiritual classic Celebration
of Discipline in a used bookstore. Opening it and discovering each
discipline detailed chapter by chapter, I felt a profound sense
of joy and excitement. I'd found a real treasure."

What
Does The Message Do With Homosexuality?
|
Eugene
Peterson has deleted
the word homosexuality
or homosexuals.
Unlike the KJV, which also does not use those words, The Message
changes the meaning of scriptures by inferring that it is not homosexuality
that is wrong but rather relationships that are not committed and
intimate. more ... |

Where
did Dallas Willard's class lead this man?
Take a look:
built myself a prayer room—a tiny sanctuary in a basement closet
filled with books on spiritual disciplines, contemplative prayer,
and Christian mysticism. In that space I lit candles, burned incense,
hung rosaries, and listened to tapes of Benedictine monks. I meditated
for hours on words, images, and sounds. I reached the point of being
able to achieve alpha brain patterns, the state in which dreams
occur, while still awake and meditating."

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that
uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness
(the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped
in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality
is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common
terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the
silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom,"
"spiritual disciplines," and many others.
Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement. |
