Deception- A Progressive Disease. The church
has opened the door to the New Age. What
started out as just a crack has now become a
wide open door. In just a few short decades,
the walls of biblical discernment have been so
completely torn down that not only do the
majority of church goers seem completely
oblivious to the deception that has entered,
many of the churchs leaders are actually
promoting the various avenues through which the
New Age/New Spirituality has come in. This is
exactly what Theosophist leader Alice Bailey
predicted would be part of the New Age
infiltration into the church! This paradigm
shift has been underway for some time. It
probably began to get a real foothold in our
present time with Norman Vincent Peale's 'Power
of Positive Thinking' theology, quickly adapted
by Rev. Robert Schuller who was really the
first modern 'megachurch' and seeker friendly'
church pastor.
Eventually came spiritual
formation, 'be still' meditation, breathing
techniques, 'Christian' Yoga, 'the sacred
feminine,' labyrinths, and most recently circle
makingall an extension of exotic and pagan
religions, eastern mysticism, and
Buddhist/Hindu tools to reach 'the divine
within.' These began to creep into church
media, books, music, sermons, seminars, and
movies.
I could give countless examples
where Christian leaders and pastors promoted
someone who was espousing anti-biblical views,
and then later when the wrongness became
publicized, these same Christian leaders and
pastors did nothing to rectify the damage they
did in pointing thousands, if not millions, in
the wrong direction. No words of regret, no
humility, no warnings to what they should have
seen in the first place' just silence . . .
until the next big thing came along.
The
Church is in big spiritual trouble with God, as
the prophesied Great Apostasy is now wide and
deep enough that Antichrist can arise.
