Die östliche Meditation gewinnt unter weiten Teilen der Namenschristen im Westen einen immer größeren Einfluss. In vielen christlichen Kirchen, Gemeinden und Gruppierungen wird das Gebet zunehmend durch Meditation ersetzt – was man auch als Kontemplation, Gebet der Sammlung (centering prayer) oder Stillegebet bezeichnet. Meditation wird oft von Yoga-Übungen oder entspannenden Atemübungen begleitet, um eine mentale Verlagerung von der rationalen linken Hirnhälfte zur intuitiven rechten Hirnhälfte zu erreichen.

Last month, in part one of this series, we quoted the Apostle Paul speaking about how Christians would view doctrine in the time prior to the return of Christ for His church: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Timothy:4:3,4). Obviously, biblical doctrine will not be looked upon favorably. The implication is that doctrine will be regarded as rather burdensome, something that Christians of the future won’t want to “endure.”

How the Coptic Church responded in the wake of this heinous act of violence – and what believers around the world can learn from the ancient institution today.

Recently at a prophecy conference I was ask if there was a difference in the Bible between the marriage of the bride (the church) to the Lamb and the marriage supper of the Lamb. I answered that I believe that Scripture indicates that there is a difference in these things and that they are two events that will take place at two different times in history. Let me show you why I think this way.

Our culture markets the Pretty Woman myth of the glamorous prostitute earning big money from handsome johns. That works occasionally — as long as the girl is young, beautiful, and lucky. Even then, the ravages of prostitution over time are not pretty.

A revealing account in www.examiner.com tells of the quite horrifying effects of the legalization of prostitution in Germany. Those who had advocated legalized prostitution had argued that legalization would improve the rights of women (and men) in prostitution and would eliminate discrimination against them. In practice, however, quite the reverse has occurred.

God forbids involvement with prostitutes because He knows such involvement is detrimental to both men and women. Prostitution not only destroys marriages, families, and lives, but it destroys the spirit and soul in a way that leads to physical and spiritual death. God’s desire is that we stay pure and use our bodies as tools for His use and glory.

A gospel of accommodation is creeping into the United States. It’s an American cultural invention to appease the lifestyle of luxury and pleasure. Primarily a Caucasian, suburban gospel, it’s also in our major cities and is sweeping the nation, influencing ministers of every denomination, and giving birth to megachurches with thousands who come to hear a nonconfronting message. It’s an adaptable gospel that is spoon-fed through humorous skits, drama, and short, nonabrasive sermonettes on how to cope—called a seeker-friendly or sinner-friendly gospel.
