On John Piper Hearing from God
UPDATE: Desiring God has pulled the suggestion from its website regarding the practice of Lectio Divina. They state: “Update: Formerly I listed Lectio Divina as a third system for prayer. I’ve since removed it for the confusion it has caused. We do not endorse contemplative spirituality. The main point I’d like to recommend is using […]

September 7, 2011
A few weeks ago I shared with you many resources as to why it was dangerous for Rick Perry to be involved with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) as he hosted The Response prayer event in Houston, Texas on August 6th, 2011.

The Embrace of Contemplative Spirituality in the (Post)Modern Church
November 2, 2010
By Justin Edwards Lighthouse Trails Research has just posted a revealing article illustrating the extent to which contemplative spirituality and mysticism (CSM) has infiltrated the evangelical church.

By Ken Silva In posts such as Rick Warren Dangerous Man For The Gospel this online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been among those who’ve been reporting on an ill-advised decision by Dr. John Piper to bring Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren into the Desiring God Conference 2010 as the keynote speaker.

The context of the article is in reference to a recent exchange between The View’s liberal co-host, Joy Behar and conservative co-host, Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

One of such religious traditions are […]
What is Soaking Prayer?
March 19, 2010
