In a continuing series Apprising Ministries seeks to introduce the Body of Christ to various teachers of a counterfeit Christianity through their neo-pagan “spiritual disciplines” of Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), a corrupt spiritual blight which is currently spreading apostasy through the evangelical camp as quickly as an Oklahoma wildfire under the guise of Spiritual Formation.
