Hi all, The church I have been attending has been involved with this stuff for quite sometime. It always bothered me, but I just blew it off, until this last week. My pastor asked me to read a book awhile ago (title withheld, E-mail me if you want the title) and I finally got around to reading it, or I should say what I could stomach! Over the last few days I have been researching the Emergent movement and Lectio Divina, then thinking more about the teachings of my church. Our web page has now taken down it's Statement of Faith and replaced it with a mission statement (not bad in and of itself). There is also a section on Lectio Divina complete with quotes to help you meditate, several of which are from Thomas Merton (google this guy). I am now starting to believe that false doctrines have crept into my church, but am unsure of how I should react biblicaly. Any scripture or advice would be appreciated. |

strs5, Forgive me for not getting back to you sooner.I wanted to do some checking up on some of the material you refered to. You got some pretty good advice from Doc and the others. What ever decisions you make, make em on a solid scriptural foundation. (2 Tim 2:15) Go through Galatians and Jude I think they will give you Godly perspective on this. We deal with same issues today that were being dealt with in Pauls time. Stand strong my friend. In Him, lionheart |

To everyone here, An update. I followed everyone's advice (mostly, if I left without talking with him, my phone would start ringing). I spoke with my old pastor privately and told him of my decision to leave his church. It was a very emotional conversation, he has been through some very difficult times with me and I love him very much. He corrected me on some of my false idea's about his teachings, but in the end he stands by some teachings and authors who I could not in good conscience support. In the end I told him I am leaving his church and would no longer be under his authority as my pastor which he accepted graciously. Please keep me in your prayers that God will show me to where He wants me and I can be used according to God's will. In Him Mike R |
