Bible Question (short): 1 Timothy 6:3 |
Question (full): 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. |
