Like Jesus
New Agers Mixing with Christians |
Barbara
Glanz
(promotes
New Age practices)
"Work out at your desk. Many companies are offering classes
in Yoga, and some of these exercises to relieve stress can be done
at your desk."
Laurie
Beth Jones
"She has been called upon by billionaires and kings, pastors,
students, housewives and prisoners to help discern their spiritual
path, and lives out her mission daily, which is to 'recognize, promote,
and inspire the divine connection in myself and others.'"
Rick
Warren
(promotes breath prayers and contemplatives)
"[U]se 'breath prayers' throughout the day, as many Christians have
done for centuries. You choose a brief sentence or a simple phrase
that can be repeated to Jesus in one breath."—Rick Warren, Purpose-Driven
Life, p. 89.

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. |
