EMERGING MYSTIC WISDOM 4 2-DAY

Apprising Ministries has told you that largely pretending to be Protestant evangelicalism is now beginning to pay a heavy price for its foolish embrace of the sinfully ecumenial neo-liberal cult operating within the Emerging Church, or the Emergent Church, as it’s sometimes called.

Indeed, a key component within their new postmodern Liberalism 2.o—its “big tent” Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity—is corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) a la Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster and his spiritual twin Dallas Willard.

With this, er, not in mind, for the *ahem* edification of the church visible, I now begin a series sharing *cough* some Eastern-style *retch* wisdom that mystics so love to—um, meditate upon in their “silence” sessions.

The Crash dummie sings, “Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm” and a squall two metatarsus blings blanch missional instead; cuz they’d always just gone there.
