Have You Heard the Term, "Thin Places"?
Mantra-style meditation is actually divination, where practitioners perform rituals or meditation exercises in order to go into trances and then receive information from spiritual entities. Campolo elaborates on the fruit of mysticism, an atmosphere he calls "the thin place":
The constant repetition of his name clears my head of everything but the awareness of his presence. By driving back all other concerns, I am able to create what the ancient Celtic Christians called "the thin place." The thin place is that spiritual condition wherein the separation between the self and God becomes so thin that God is able to break through and envelop the soul.1
This term "thin place" originated with Celtic spirituality (i.e., contemplative) and is in line with panentheism. Listen to one meditator:
I experienced a shift deep within me, a calmness I never knew possible. I was also graced with a sense of "oneness" with nature around me and with everyone else in the human family. It was strangely wonderful to experience God in silence, no-thingness.2
This "oneness" with all things is the essence of the ancient wisdom. Marcus Borg, a former professor at Oregon State University and a pro-emergent author, also speaks of "thin places." One commentator discusses Borg's ideas on this:
In The Heart of Christianity, Borg writes of "thin places," places where, to use Eliade's terminology, the division between the sacred and the profane becomes thin. Borg writes that he owes this metaphor of "thin places" to Celtic Christianity and the recent recovery of Celtic spirituality. As the following passage reveals, his understanding of "thin places" is deeply connected to his panentheism, his articulation of God as "the More," and his—like Eliade—division of the world into layers of reality.3
Borg says these thin places (reached through meditation) are "[d]eeply rooted in the Bible and the Christian tradition,"4 but he, like others, is unable to show biblical evidence that God mandates meditation. Thin places imply that God is in all things, and the gap between God, evil, man, everything thins out and ultimately disappears in meditation:
God is a nonmaterial layer of reality all around us, "right here" as well as "more than right here." This way of thinking thus affirms that there are minimally two layers or dimensions of reality, the visible world of our ordinary experience and God, the sacred, Spirit.5
Mike Perschon, former writer for Youth Specialties, also found these thin places as he went into the silence:
We held "thin place" services in reference to a belief that in prayer, the veil between us and God becomes thinner. Entire nights were devoted to guided meditations, drum circles, and "soul labs."6
I believe that Campolo, Borg, and Perschon each experienced the same realm in their thin places.

Erwin McManus, Moody, Liberty, Cedarville, and Biola Help Pave the Emergent/Social Justice/Progressive Future with Barefoot Tribe
Lighthouse Trails has been warning readers for several years about the emergent church. In those warnings, we've addressed the spiritual leanings of Erwin McManus.1 We also challenged David Jeremiah because he told his church that he wanted to use McManus' book The Barbarian Way to help bring about a "major paradigm shift" in his church.2 Well, there's no question about it, the evangelical church has gone through a major paradigm shift. This week we received some information from a Lighthouse Trails reader about an event called Barefoot Tribe Gathering, which is another example of where emergent leaders are taking the church, in particular young evangelicals, who by the way are being encouraged not to even call themselves evangelicals or Christians anymore. They see themselves on a much higher ground than that. It's a ground that incorporates all religions, all people, and all beliefs and practices.
This emergent progressive church (which they tried to make us believe was a thing of the past) is the new "Christianity" for millions of young people. Under the disguise of helping the poor, taking care of the environment, and loving everyone (except their critics), is a growing body of people with a New Age/New Spirituality mindset that embraces all spiritual views and believes God exists in everyone. The Cross (or atonement) doesn't mean the place where Jesus Christ took our place and died for our sins but rather means at-one-ment (that is, we are all one and connected together with a "God" energy that flows through all things and all people). This at-one-ment rejects the idea that God would actually send His Son to a violent death to pay for OUR sins; rather this emergent view of atonement means that Jesus was a good example of someone who laid down His life and we should follow that example. That's as far as this "new church" will go with the Cross. To say He paid the penalty for our sins is to say that man is sinful and is not God. The new social justice, emergent, progressive "Christianity" cannot do that because it doesn't believe that.
According to the Barefoot Tribe's website, Erwin McManus was one of the speakers in the 2014 Barefoot Tribe Gathering (and by the way, the emergent church has made a lot of progress since then with the help of "evangelical" names such as McManus). We also noticed that Palmer Chinchen, who heads up Barefoot Tribe, has been bringing the Barefoot Tribe message to various Christian colleges including Cornerstone University, Biola, Moody, Cedarville, and Liberty. What better place to change the face of Christianity than at the Christian universities. While parents keep their heads in the sand and pay huge dollars to have their children educated at "nice safe Christian colleges," right under their noses, their kids' spirituality is being turned upside down, and in many, if not most, cases will never be restored to biblical Christianity. Other colleges Barefoot Tribe has spoken at are:
Lest some think that Barefoot Tribe is simply an outreach to the poor and needy in the world, Palmer Chinchen's books, including Barefoot Tribe, are packed with quotes by, references to, and inspirations from some of the leading emergent writers today (Sweet, Ortberg, N.T. Wright, Nouwen, Brueggemann, Morgan Cron, Campolo, etc.). Satan has an agenda to deceive the whole world, and most proclaiming Christians and church goers have no idea it is happening right in their own backyards.
The information sent from our reader:
The Barefoot Tribe Gathering 2014 and 2017
"We are on the crest of an epic shift in humanity. This generation views the world as an extended family – increasingly interconnected through technology – and living with a deep moral obligation to care for one another.
The Barefoot Tribe GATHERING will promote conversation, collaboration, and help network a generation of Christ-followers to respond to the plight of desperate people in broken places."

Commentary: What Do Hitler, Alice Bailey, and Replacement Theology Adherents Have in Common?
By Philip Gray
Free-lance writer and contender of the faith
What Do Hitler, Alice Bailey, and Replacement Theology Adherents Have in Common? Basically, the answer to that question is that in all three cases, they reject the Jews as God's chosen people. Those who embrace Replacement Theology probably don't realize that the thinking behind Replacement Theology is some of the thinking behind occultist Alice Bailey as well as Hitler when it comes to the Jews. Now we are not saying that people who adhere to Replacement Theology would want to kill the Jews as Hitler did; but Replacement Theology adherents need to understand that behind this view of the Jews lies a far more sinister aspect. Satan hates the Jews (partly because he knows God will use them in the culmination of things in the last days to end Satan's days). That view of the Jews can start "innocently" by saying the Jews and Israel are no longer significant with regard to Bible prophecy. But it is not a far step from that thinking to anti-Semitism. Let's just take a brief look at Alice Bailey and then Adolph Hitler and see what they thought about the Jews:
Consider these statements by Alice Bailey in her book The Externalization of the Hierarchy.
The force emanating from that section of humanity which is found in every part of the world and which we call the Jewish people. What I say here has no specific reference to any individual; I am considering the world problem, centering around the Jews as a whole. . . The Jew, down the ages, has insisted upon being separated from all other races but he brought over from the previous system the knowledge (necessary then but obsolete now) that his race was the "chosen people." The "Wandering Jew" has wandered from System One to this where he must learn the lesson of absorption and cease his wandering. He has insisted upon racial purity . . . this insistence has been carried down the ages . . . When humanity has solved the Jewish problem (with the understanding cooperation of the Jew) and overcome ancient antipathies and hatreds, it will do so by fusing the problem in one vast humanitarian situation. When that happens, the problem will be rapidly solved and one of the major difficulties will disappear off the face of the earth. Racial fusion will then be possible. Our earth humanity and the group of human beings who are far more ancient in their origin than we are, will form one humanity and then there will be peace on earth. . . . .
The solution will come, as I said, when the races regard the Jewish problem as a humanitarian problem but also when the Jew does his share of understanding, love and right action. This he does not yet do, speaking racially. He must let go of his own separative tendencies and of his deep sense of persecution. (p.40-42, 1998 edition, Lucis Trust)
As for Hitler, we know without a doubt that he did not consider the Jews God's "chosen people." Rather, he wanted to eliminate them from the face of the earth. But where did he come up with this demonic evil idea? While there are different factors involved in the answer to that question, Mike Oppenheimer provides the documentation to show what was perhaps the greatest influence on Hitler and his views about the Jewish people:
Hitler's ideas about the Aryan race came from the Thule Society. Thule was supposedly a lost island inhabited by an ancient race that were "masters of wisdom" (much like the mythology of Atlantis or Lemuria and the spiritual hierarchy, the White Brotherhood today). Though unseen, they are a superior highly intelligent beings working behind the scenes (as Benjamin Crème states). Hitler believed he was in contact with them and that they gave him power and energy. Through his alleged contacts with this mythical superior race, he believed he was destined to lead the Aryans to rule the world. Hitler's vision of the world was that Germany would unite the world under his leadership which would last for 1,000 years.
Contance Cumbey, in her book The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, summarized Hitler's path to being Germany's messianic figure: "While still a very young child, Hitler was initiated into the finer mysteries of the occult. He attended a Benedictine monastery school near his German home. "The occult interests Hitler gained in this school, stayed with him all of his adult life and helped to shape his future spiritual philosophy." . . .
Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels were Catholic in their background before they indulged themselves into a new spiritual worldview. Occult books were some of Hitler's favorite reading. It was in the early 1920s Dietrich Eckart introduced Hitler to The Secret Doctrine, by [Helen] Blavatsky. He was taught its secrets by Professor-General Karl Haushofer (Suster), who was a member of the Berlin Lodge of the Vril Society. One of the primary qualifications for one to be admitted to the Vril Society was to have a minimum ability in Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine." Karl Haushofer was alleged to be a master of the secret doctrines espoused by Blavatsky, and it was he who initiated prisoner Adolf Hitler at Landsberg Prison. . . .
Cumbey notes: "Hitler rightly believed he had established communication with Lucifer, from whom he openly coveted possession" (Secrets of the Rainbow p.101). It should not surprising to find that he was led to The Secret Doctrine that glorifies Lucifer.
The "Secret Doctrine" held that they originated in Atlantis and that one of the seven Atlantean races was that of the Aryans." The Aryans were the master-race or supermen of the Atlantean races." The myth of Aryan superiority was the basis for Hitler's Nazism and ethnic cleansing of the Jews. . . .
Hitler seemed to have favored Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine above other books he had. We do know that U.S. Army historians catalogued Hitler's personal library and found numerous occultic volumes heavily annotated in Hitler's fancy handwriting. Among the books was one that Hitler often kept by his bedside, the occult standard The Secret Doctrine by Madame Helen P. Blavatsky (Kubizek). (Adolf Hitler, The Occult Messiah, Gerald Suster, 1981).
Blavatsky not only claimed these masters were directing the work of the Theosophical Society but were also guiding the evolution of the human race throughout history. Thus Hitler found his place in the grand scheme of these masters. ("Hitler's Spiritual Master – Maitreya," Let Us Reason Ministries)
We can easily say that Helen Blavatsky shared a similar view about the Jews as Alice Bailey. In fact, Bailey probably got at least some of her anti-Semitic views from Blavatsky. In Blavatsky's book The Secret Doctrine, she wrote:
Judaism, built solely on Phallic worship, has become one of the latest creeds in Asia, and theologically a religion of hate and malice toward everyone and everything outside themselves. (Blavatsky, H.P.. The Secret Doctrine (Kindle Locations 20502-20503). Chios Classics. Kindle Edition)
Blavatsky also said the Jews were "degenerate in spirituality" (Ibid. Kindle location 15961).
The point of this commentary is to show Christians, especially adherents of Replacement Theology, that occultic influences have worked their way into the church and altered the way Christians think about the Jews, Israel, and the Word of God. It's tragic to think about Martin Luther and how he turned against the Jews in a most vehement manner; then Hitler, centuries later, used the sentiments of Luther to convince the German people that the Jews were an inferior people so that he could more easily commit the horrendous atrocities against them. (Foxe's Book of Martyrs, LT edition, endnote section)
In Mike Oppenheimer's booklet called Israel: Replacing What God Has Not, he offers some valuable insights. In closing, here are two paragraphs from that booklet:
At a time when a clear and biblically sound understanding of Bible prophecy is most important, we find the church, paradoxically, having less knowledge of it, especially as it relates directly to Israel. Most evangelical Christians throughout history have supported the Jews and the modern state of Israel, but things are changing. The church, from its infancy, believed God had a future plan for Israel based on Scripture (Acts 3:19). This plan included the national restoration of Israel to the same land from which they were eventually dispersed. As time went on and the church drifted further and further away from her Jewish beginnings, many began to erroneously believe the church had replaced Israel. But in this day and age when we see biblical prophecy being fulfilled on such an unprecedented and unparalleled scale—with God's continual protection and restoration of the Jews to their land, there should not be those who walk in disbelief with regard to God's promises. But there are! . . .
God says that we are to bless them and not curse or turn against them. Of the Jew, Paul stated "unto them were committed the oracles of God" (Romans 3:2). Jesus Himself said that "salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22). And though they have been dispersed throughout the world, God has blessed and prospered them wherever they went. We, therefore, owe a great debt to the Jewish people; and Israel is still Israel and will continue to have a special place in God's heart and significance in the future of our planet. Remember, God has said of the Jew: "For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye" (Zechariah 2:8).
Thanks to people like Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God author), who said in his book that sold millions of copies that Hitler did the Jews a favor by killing them, or people in the emergent church like Tony Campolo and Brian McLaren, who reject the notion that the Jews and Israel have any significance in the present day or the future, people's (including many evangelicals and other Protestants) views of the Jews and Israel are fast changing. When you consider how anti-Semitism is growing throughout the world, as Christians, let us ask ourselves, "Are we to think as the world thinks? Are we to think as occultists think?" God forbid.

Oprah Winfrey's New Age "Christianity" (Part 2) – Neale Donald Walsch, "God," and Hitler by Warren B. Smith
Letter to the Editor from an Assemblies of God Pastor: How God Sent Ray Yungen Who "Radically Altered the Path of Our Ministry"
LTRP Note: We are posting this, not just as a tribute to Ray but even more so to help Christian pastors and leaders consider taking a closer look at how they are operating their ministries and churches and ask themselves if they are truly preaching "Christ crucified" or are they following after programs made by men.
Dear Lighthouse Trails:
I don't remember the exact date, but sometime in early 2011, we were watching "Frances and Friends" on TV over the Son Life Broadcasting network. We weren't fans of the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and taking the time to watch one of their programs was not something that was planned on our part. But, God had a plan. Anyhow, as we tuned in to that program, the guest speaker being interviewed by Frances Swaggart over the telephone was Warren Smith. We had never heard of this man but what caught our attention was his comments about Rick Warren and the "Purpose Drive Church" ministry model. In as much as we pastor an Assemblies of God church, and, at that time, were avid disciples or Rick Warren, I stopped to listen to what Warren was saying about Rick Warren. Rick Warren was (and still is) promoted heavily by the Assemblies of God as the "new" ministry model to follow. But what Warren Smith had to say about the Purpose Driven Church and the Purpose Drive Life stopped me dead in my tracks. When that program was over, my wife and I sat there stunned. We had been following Rick Warren's ministry for approximately 13 years and never had any inclination that it was NOT what we should be doing in our ministry.
I sent an e-mail to Warren Smith that day (or the next) telling him how very much we had appreciated his courage and his willingness to come on national TV and denounce the Purpose Driven Church model. What we learned that day through Warren was shocking, but we felt the peace of God as to what we were learning. In that e-mail I mentioned to Warren that we were now re-examining our promoting the PDC model. Bro. Warren called me on the phone the day after he received my e-mail which was quite a shock to me that he would take the time to do that. But Warren asked me if I would permit him to put me in contact with a man he considered a mentor and who lived in Salem, Oregon which is about 3 hours away. He said that his name was Ray Yungen. I said that would be fine, and he gave me Ray's phone number.
Still reeling from what I had just learned from Warren about Rick Warren, I decided not to call Ray. But not making that phone call to Ray right away kept nagging at me. I truly believe that this "nagging feeling" was actually the Holy Spirit exhorting me to call him. So, after about two weeks of putting it off, I relented and called Ray. When Ray answered his phone and I told him my name, he said immediately, "Well, it's about time. I didn't think you were going to call." After a few moments of talking to Ray, he asked if he could come to our town and visit with me and share some information he believed would be very helpful to our ministry.
Well, Ray arrived, and he, my wife, and myself sat down, and Ray began to talk about such things as contemplative spirituality, the New Age movement in the church, soaking prayer, centering prayer, and all manner of related things that were taking place in the church world and being endorsed by noted leaders in Christianity. These were things we had never heard about from anyone at anytime. After listening to Ray for 5 ½ hours, my wife and I looked at each other with stunned amazement at what this man had just told us. He talked to us quietly and supported his claims thoroughly. I looked at Ray and said, "Ray, listening to everything you just said is a little bit like trying to get a drink of water out of fire hydrant." Following that conversation, we walked back to my church office with Ray still talking, and when he walked into my office, he immediately perused my library. He asked my permission to take a closer look, and he began to pull out select books that I had. One by one, Ray pointed out individuals who were involved in what he had just discussed with my wife and I. People like, Tony Campolo, Richard Foster, Leonard Sweet, Joyce Meyer, and, of course, Rick Warren and others.
One item Ray spent some time looking at was something called "We Build People" which was a "discipleship" program put together by the General Council of the Assemblies of God under the direction of Rick Warren and his staff from Saddleback. The AG had asked Mr. Warren to come back to the Springfield, MO offices and help them develop this program but with a Pentecostal slant. The end result was "We Build People." Ray pointed out that this program was endorsed by people like Richard Foster, et al.
With all of the above being said, my wife and I know that the Lord used Warren Smith to put us in contact with this wonderfully quiet, gentle, and godly man by the name of Ray Yungen who was guided by the Holy Spirit to completely and radically alter the path of our ministry and begin to preach Christ and Him crucified. Over the few years that we have known Ray, we have been continually fed through his research and his writings which have been a continual source of comfort and enlightenment.
If anyone asks me if I could name two people who have impacted life and ministry in a dramatic way, there is no doubt as to who those two would be – Ray Yungen and Warren Smith. Thank the Lord for their faithfulness.
Our hearts are deeply saddened with the passing of Ray, and we will be forever grateful for his ministry which, in our case, was life changing. Our ministry will never be the same. We look forward to the day when we will see him once again and rejoice with Him in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In His Service,
Larry and Carol
InterVarsity Comes Under Heat for Trying to Make a Stand Against Same-Sex Marriage – But Straddling the Fence is Hard to Do
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship has come under public heat because it recently announced they were giving an ultimatum to employees who saw nothing wrong with same-sex (homosexual) marriage. In a Charisma magazine article (we are not endorsing Charisma), the author states:
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is one of the leading campus ministries, and its publishing arm, InterVarsity Press, is one of the top Christian publishers. But this fine ministry is learning the hard way that, when it comes to homosexuality, you cannot straddle the fence.1
The reason the Charisma writer says "straddle the fence" is because InterVarsity Press has been publishing emergent, contemplative, New Age/New Spirituality authors for a long time, and mixing truth with error has finally caught up with them. The Charisma article reveals more:
As Jonathan Merritt reports on the Religion News Service, "40 authors in InterVarsity's publishing house stable including Shane Claiborne, David Dark, Christena Cleveland, Ian Morgan Cron, and Chris Heuertz are calling on IVCF head Tom Lin to immediately replace the policy with one that makes space for opposing views. The letter indicates that the signers 'do not all share the same theological or political views' but 'are united in our concern for the dignity and care of our fellow Christians whose jobs are threatened by your policy.'"
You may recall articles Lighthouse Trails has written about Shane Claiborne and Ian Morgan Cron. Both very emergent, to say the least. Just to give you a little sampling of the beliefs of authors InterVarsity has been publishing, read this quote by Ian Morgan Cron:
I grew up a Roman Catholic and later became an Anglican priest (it was the closest I could get to being a Catholic priest without having to "swim the Tiber") so there's definitely a weird brew of influences floating around the community. I'm presently studying spiritual direction and contemplative spirituality at the Shalem Institute and beginning next year in a doctoral program at Fordham University (The Jesuit University of New York) so the voices of Merton, Rahner, Ignatius, St Francis, Teresa of Avila, Evelyn Underhill and other contemplatives find their way into our ministries and preaching as well. (source)
If you have been reading Lighthouse Trails for any amount of time, you will probably be familiar with the interspiritual Shalem Institute and that list of names mentioned above by Morgan Cron. That quote by him was said in an online interview as you can read about in a Lighthouse Trails 2013 article where we discussed our concerns about Ian Morgan Cron speaking at a Nazarene university. We stated in that article:
Lest one think that the Nazarenes stand alone in embracing Cron, just take a look at Cron's speaking schedule [link no longer available]. Places he will be speaking (or has spoken) at include: World Vision, Willow Creek, Denver Seminary, Family Fest with the Gaithers, the Dove Awards, Renovare, C3 Conference with Philip Yancey, the Calvinist Crossroads Community Church in MD, Texas Christian University, Catalyst Conference with Andy Stanley, and Worship Leaders Conference with James McDonald and Saddleback pastor Buddy Owens.
Ian Morgan Cron is a New Age/New Spirituality "Christian" as his writings clearly prove. Shane Claiborne, mentored by socialist liberal evangelical Tony Campolo, is in the same camp. A few other InterVarsity New Spirituality (contemplative, interspiritual, ecumenical, and emergent) authors are Dan Allender (a favorite for Moody Radio), Fil Anderson (Running on Empty), Lynne Babb, Ruth Haley Barton, Richard Foster's colleague (part of Renovare) Gayle Beebe, Buddhist-sympathizer & Catholic Peter Kreeft, Calvin Miller (who admires Virgin-birth and Son of God denier Marcus Borg), Kenneth Boa, Gregory Boyd, and a name just as disconcerting as Ian Morgan Cron, Adele Ahlberg Calhoun (promotes all kinds of mystical practices and people in her book Spiritual Disciplines Handbook), and Julie Cameron (author of The Artist's Way discussed in A Time of Departing by Ray Yungen because of her mystical propensities). Frankly, this list would have to go on for several more paragraphs just to name all the InterVarsity authors who fall in a similar category as Ian Morgan Cron.
No wonder so many within the ranks of the InterVarsity author-machine are speaking against their homosexual ultimatum. (For the purposes of this article, remember the connection there is between emergent/contemplative thinking and a laxed view on homosexuality.) The Trojan horse has entered Christian publishing, and the enemy is now within the walls. Maybe it's time that InterVarsity wakes up, repents, and starts seeking after biblical integrity in what they are publishing and promoting. It's a little ludicrous for them to think they can spend years publishing liberal, socialistic, New Age, mystical contemplative authors and then scratch their heads in wonder when these same authors challenge them for trying to be biblical when it comes to issues such as homosexuality. As we've said so many times before, straddling the fence is not an easy thing to do, and in today's mixed up immoral society—a society which is going after Christians who try to stand for what is right—straddling the fence for Christians is almost impossible to maintain. Hopefully, InterVarsity Press will figure this out before they lose altogether under the pressure. It will be interesting to see what their next move is. One thing is for sure, they won't be alone. Countless Christian publishers, ministries, churches, and leaders are straddling the same fence, and their day of reckoning is coming too.

Letter to the Editor: Lighthouse Trails Has Exaggerated Condition of Christian Missionary Alliance
Dear Editors at Lighthouse Trails:
I stumbled onto your website while looking for a video from this year's Alliance Council featuring John Stumbo. In your writings, you largely promote the idea the C&MA is espousing the emergent church, contemplative prayer, spiritual formation blather.
I have never, ever heard this in my church. EVER. So, for you to paint the C&MA with such a wide brush is sensationalistic, to say the least. Perhaps occasionally a misled pastor will go down that road. Such a pastor needs to be brought into line, in my opinion. The colleges that "teach" these courses—are they teaching them to promote them, or are they teaching these classes in a effort to enlighten students as to the evils that can weave their way into ministry? You don't say which in your writings which I find, again, sensationalistic.
Never once have I heard or read anything from John Stumbo promoting any of this emergent church 'trend'.
Defend yourself. I'll be waiting for a reply.
Dear SN:
We wish we were being sensationalistic and exaggerating the issue. Unfortunately (and sadly), Christian and Missionary Alliance (and most other evangelical denominations) have been embracing contemplative prayer, Spiritual Formation, and the emerging "new" spirituality for quite some time, and we see no signs of this letting up. A few denominations are just dabbling in it, but most, including C&MA, are well immersed as Lighthouse Trails has been documenting for over 13 years. Does this mean that every church in each of these denominations is involved in this? No, and Lighthouse Trails has always maintained that. But in virtually every case where a denomination is moving in this direction, there is evidence that it is existent in upper leadership.A case in point is C&MA. Just visit the main C&MA website, search through their magazine archives, books they are selling, and so forth, and you will find numerous contemplative/emergent references, such as an article written by the late (d. 2011) C&MA Senior Pastor from Salem, Oregon Donald Bubna titled "The Journey" where Bubna states:
To learn from others on the spiritual journey, I have discovered and devoured the writings of Henri Nouwen, Philip Yancey and Thomas Merton on the issue of full surrender to the deeper life.
Nouwen and Merton were both interspiritual Catholic mystics. Yancey is an evangelical contemplative advocate. Bubna was not an "occasional" example of a C&MA pastor who has had such persuasions. And in fact, the Salem C&MA church has been a contemplative influence for many years on Alliance members.
Another example: In a 2013 C&MA magazine article titled "The Lord's Dream," the author explains how a C&MA church in Philadelphia, PA is in close relationship with emergent author Shane Claiborne's church, and on at least one occasion, Claiborne spoke at the C&MA church, filling in for the pastor one Sunday. Claiborne was mentored by and resonates with emergent leader Tony Campolo.
And a third example, Richard Bush, superintendent of the New England District of the U.S. C&MA, wrote an article titled "Transformed," in which he favorably quotes heavy-weight contemplative leader Ruth Haley Barton. Barton was trained at the New Age sympathizing interspiritual Shalem Prayer Institute in Washington, DC, and she has an organization that teaches thousands of pastors contemplative practices and Spiritual Formation. Clearly, Bush resonates with Barton for him to use her as an example of Christians being "transformed."
One last example, at the 2013 C&MA Council conference, one of the seminars was presented by a woman who taught the class in the contemplative practice of "lectio divina."
These examples are coming from C&MA leadership. With 500,000 members in 2000 churches, the C&MA is a strong force within evangelical Christianity, and if they end up in the wrong place, they'll be taking a lot of people with them.
In reference to your comment about C&MA president John Stumbo, Lighthouse Trails has only mentioned him in one article and that was one this past summer where we stated that Stumbo will be sharing a platform with New Age sympathizer Leonard Sweet at the Christian Missionary Alliance Mahaffey Family Camp. Please refer to that article for information about the beliefs of Leonard Sweet. Incidentally, John Stumbo was the senior pastor of Salem Missionary Alliance prior to becoming C&MA president. During those years, Salem C&MA was promoting contemplative spirituality (in fact, Ray Yungen talks about this church in his book A Time of Departing).
Listed below are several articles (which all have documentation) regarding Christian & Missionary Alliance that we have posted over the years. Please take the time to study this information, and in so doing, you will see that C&MA has indeed gone down the contemplative/emergent path. As for the college situation, after 13 years of tracking the evangelical colleges and seminaries, over 90% of them are now promoting this same path, and we have documented this time and again as well. As a matter of fact, we have learned that all C&MA colleges and seminaries are promoting this.
While we acknowledge that it is difficult to hear these things about one's own denomination, for the sake of truth, we hope Christians reading Lighthouse Trails material will take it to heart, do their homework, and see if these things we say are not true.

Southern Baptist Leaders Call for a "Great Awakening" in US—But SBC Continues Promoting the Anti-Gospel New Spirituality
In the Summer 2015 Journal of the Southern Baptist Convention, an article titled "Great Awakening" states:
Thousands of messengers at the 2015 Southern Baptist Convention knelt in prayer and raised their hands to heaven July 16 as they prayed for revival in the church and a great awakening across the United States. . . . "The only thing that can ultimately reshape America is a spiritual awakening and the next move of God," Ronnie Floyd, president of the SBC, told messengers. "When you look at it historically, there is no great movement of God that is not first preceded by the extraordinary prayer of God's people.
"When was the last time that you gathered with thousands of people on a Tuesday night in the summer and prayed for spiritual awakening in the United States? We have full confidence in God and God alone."
The article quoted several Southern Baptist pastors attending the summer event who named numerous sins from which Southern Baptists and Christians in general needed to repent: pride, racism, apathy, and so forth. While these are all sins that Christians do need to repent of if they are guilty of them, there was no mention of one sin that is having detrimental effects within SBC and the Christian church at large. We are referring to the Southern Baptist's sinful embracing of the "new" anti-Gospel spirituality, which includes occultic prayer practices (contemplative) and emergent/social justice/anti-Christianity ideologies. We present two pieces of evidence to show both of these are true statements. First, this short Letter from the Editor that we received this month:
Dear Lighthouse Trails:
I attend (won't join) a Southern Baptist church wherein most of the women are heavily involved with Sarah Young's, Jesus Calling. I shared with the pastor articles confirming this is not a Christian book, but he doesn't acknowledge my e-mails or the material that I personally handed to him. People that are so-called Christians have verbally attacked me because I said this book is "New Age." I imagine you get a lot of unfavorable comments as well. J.
Jesus Calling is a book who's author was inspired by the New Age channelled book God Calling. If you have not researched Jesus Calling, we recommend you read Warren B. Smith's book "Another Jesus" Calling or his article/booklet The New Age Implications of Jesus Calling.
The second piece of evidence is with LifeWay Resources (the SBC resource arm), which continues to present to Southern Baptist members a deluge of contemplative/emerging/New Spirituality promoting books. Here is a short list of the many examples that are on the LifeWay Resources website:
1. The complete line of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling books
2. Dare to Journey with Henri Nouwen (NOW REMOVED – 4/16)
3. 15 items by or about Brennan Manning (MOST NOW REMOVED – 4/16)
4. Sacred Pathways by Gary Thomas (instructs, repeat a word for 20 minutes)
5. Books by Dan Allender (promoter of Brian McLaren and the emerging church)
6. Books by Ann Voskamp (emerging church writer involved with the IF movement)
7. Ruth Haley Barton materials (major player in the contemplative/spiritual formation movement)
8. The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence (who danced violently like a mad man when in the silence)
9. Books by Walter Brueggemann (who loved Alan Jones' book Reimagining Christianity which denies the atonement)
10. How to Stay Christian in College by Catholic convert J. Budziszewski (Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa High School used this book too – how funny to use a book written by a man who changed from Christianity to Catholicism!)
11. At least 1 book by Adele Ahlberg Calhoun (a strong contemplative proponent who resonates with many New Age teachers)
12. Lord, Save Us From Your Followers by emergent Dan Merchant
13. At least 1 book that includes as an author heavy weight emergent Tony Campolo ( http://www.lifeway.com/Product/taking-it-to-the-streets-P005717324 )
14. Books by heavy weight emergent mentored by Tony Campolo, Shane Claiborne
15. Books by or about Richard Foster and/or Dallas Willard
16. A book called Mustard Seeds, which promotes goddess worshipper Sue Monk Kidd
17. Incidentally, also carries David Jeremiah's book, Life Wide Open, in which he too promotes Sue Monk Kidd
19. Books by contemplative author Pete Scazzero
20. Last but certainly not least, several books by prolific emergent leader Leonard Sweet
21. God Calling, the New Age channeled book that inspired Sarah Young to write Jesus Calling. (NOW REMOVED – 4/16)
The books and authors listed above represent, promote, or/and endorse an occultic mystical New Age spirituality that has sorely infiltrated the Christian church. This is not a complete list. To do that, it would take us hours because LifeWay Resources carries an almost countless number of contemplative and/or emergent books. If you want to see for yourself, use our Directory of Authors by Chris Lawson and compare some of the names on that list with the authors being carried on LifeWay. And you may type in any of the names above into our blog search engine and our research site and get plenty of information showing the spiritual propensities of these authors.
We find it ironic (and tragic) that Southern Baptist Convention pastors say they want a "Great Awakening" when the leaders of this denomination are falling headlong into great spiritual deception and taking millions of Baptists with them. Several years ago, LifeWay Resources removed books by Catholic mystics such as Basil Pennington, Thomas Keating, and Thomas Merton after Lighthouse Trails and other ministries brought it to their attention that these authors' writings were not compatible with biblical Christianity. In addition, somewhere along the line, they removed books by Brian McLaren and Rob Bell. But what good did that do when the authors they continue to sell to their readers, while sounding more Christian than McLaren and Bell, are really "preaching" the same contemplative/emergent/New Spirituality message.
If you are not sure just what the contemplative/emergent/"New" Spirituality message is, please research this out until you fully understand the serious implications.
And, if you live near a LifeWay Store, perhaps you should call and ask why they are carrying Jesus Calling and other books that are not biblically sound. (Store locator) By the way, the number of LifeWay stores is growing. For instance, in 2013, LifeWay purchased Berean Christian Stores giving LifeWay 17 more stores.
If you are Southern Baptist, or if you attend a SBC church, isn't it time to challenge your leaders and pastors to repent of the sin that will help lead the church into a great apostasy rather than a great awakening?!
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1 Timothy 4:1)

1/4/2017 - "I am so glad that you and your family got much deserved time off during our favorite Christmas season!! You and your team need to know how special your ornaments are. When I was a kid, we couldn't wait till the Sears Christmas catalog came so we mark everything we wanted !! This year my 14 yr. old granddaughter grabbed your catalog with great delight and an ink pen to circle what she wanted. She has her "life in your ornaments" from pierced ears, braces and now the beloved selfies and IPad ornaments. Even my men have enjoyed the hunting ones. There's always just the right ornament on your website. Happy New Year to you all. I'll have to save up to be ready to order more for Christmas 2017 :-) Paula"

Thanks for making these quality ornaments available for my family to cherish for years to come.... Margo PS: want to commend an extraordinary employee, who noticed an error I made....I placed an order for my 'new' great granddaughter's first ornament, I was unaware that it was for 2015 and she was born May 20th, 2016.....she made me aware of my error and placed my order 'on hold' until the 2016 ornament was available....sorry I do not remember her name, but my thanks and appreciation go out to her....."

MOSCOW, June 6. /TASS/. Russia's defense ministry on Monday refutes allegations about Russian air strikes on a market place in the Syrian city of Al-Asharah.
"The Russian defense ministry has refuted a Reuters report that cited the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that a market place in the city of Al-Asharah in Syria's Dei ez-Zor province was a target of Russian air strikes," Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
"Russia's air group performed no combat missions, neither did it deliver strikes in the city of Al-Asharah in the Syrian province Deir ez-Zor," he said.

Reviews of Charming Long Sleeves Off-The-Shoulder Lace Button Wedding Dress
I have gotten many complements on this dress. At first I was sceptical. I prepared myself for the fact that I would not be getting exactly the dress pictured. And even when I first tried it on I wasn't sure if it was the dress for me. But after ordering a petticoat to go under it (it is not full on the bottom, without the petti coat it is flat in the front and back &I we plan to take the wire out of the petti coat as well, so it's full but not too round) and my matron of honor lacing it up right and deciding on a few other thing we will do. I have fallen in love with this dress. I'll be adding a corset/cutlets/and using double sided tape on the top lace to hold it up. As well as having the arms tailored underneath so I can move my arms around more. And of course steaming it. I can't wait to wear this at my wedding.By Ian Mar 21,2017

The Pout-Pout Fish
The Pout-Pout Fish is a wonderful book by the Author, Deborah Diesen.
A New York Times Best Seller
More books by the same Author below:
This is a book which is full of colourful pictures and this is what kids normally enjoy reading the most.
The Pout-Pout Fish: Book Review
The story is about a glum gloomy fish with an ever-present pout which is called Pout-Pout. Pout-Pout normally spreads his unhappiness all around the place where he lives. Although his friends give him advice several times for being happy, he says to them that he likes the way he is and will never going to change. One day, as he goes swimming around, he sees a beautiful fish which he has never seen before.
What happens next?
Is Pout-Pout going to change after this meeting?
You will come to know when you read it.
My views about this book
It is such an entertaining book which will bring smile on your kids face. In fact, it is great fun to read it aloud with it's rhyming verses. I like this book because it teaches kids that one should not feel unhappy and spread this unhappiness all around. Furthermore, one should not stick to negative thoughts about oneself, instead one should take the good advices from others and apply the same in his life.
I am sure kids will love the way this book is illustrated along with the attractive colours. Its rhyming verses are wonderful and this book is great for preschool students as they will learn a lot from it. Not only that, they will enjoy seeing plenty of things which are found under the sea such as the blue water, the blooming plants, many interesting creatures and more. As it is a very appealing book, it will certainly attracts kids.
An Extract from the Book
"I'm a pout-pout fish
With a pout-pout face
So I spread the dreary-wearies
All over the place."BLUB

IBM GXP Problems: The Truth Exposed and Possible Fixes
Cooling - What a difference!
Let me give you an example of the cooling issue. As I mentioned earlier, I have two 60GXP 60GB drives. One is mounted permanently in a removable HDD rack, which has it's only cooling for the drive. On the other hand, the other 60GXP 60GB drive was mounted two bays above my floppy disk drive, with no cooling for the drive. The drive without any cooling failed a month after it's initial usage, and it wasn't even my Master drive. The "Click of Death" sounds have been haunting me ever since the drive started failing just recently, nothing software based I could do would remedy the problem.
In the past with drives from such companies as Seagate, Maxtor and even older IBM drives I haven't used cooling nor found the need to - They've either been slower 5,400RPM and 7,200RPM drives and hadn't had any problems with excessive heat related issues. With this said, it seems the newer 60GXP and 75GXP drives need at least some cooling and air flow surrounding them to operate reliably; at the very least I recommend air flowing underneath the drive passing the chipsets. However, a HDD cooler would defiantly be the way to go and highly recommended - One of these racks from CoolerGuys will more than suffice.
It's important to note that not once did IBM recommend or have any mention remotely similar to that of any additional cooling required for these drives in their extensive Installation and Reference Manual for the 60GXP or 75GXP line of drives found on their website.
This is truly of grave concern. Not all ATX cases manufactured have adequate cooling to keep these powerful and hot IBM drives operating in an environment cool enough, no pun intended. Remember, it is not as if all computer stores and retailers alike are going to be clued in to the fact they need to be supplying IBM drives with HDD coolers or additional cooling within their cases for their customers. This applies especially so for AMD Athlon based systems where cases can act just like an oven (with no case fans), more so with mid-tower cases where everything is packed in and airflow is reduced compared to larger cases. IBM must address this problem immediately before more victims are claimed.
