<b>Pastor Larry DeBruyn</b> has written a new book, "UNSHACKLED: Breaking Away from Seductive Spirituality." We revisit the book "The Shack", on the top or near the top of almost all best-seller lists. Why has this book almost become the 67th book of the Bible? What is it's draw? Why is it not in the realm of Christian orthodoxy? Because it reinvents Christianity and the Trinity. Hear sound bytes of Dr. Albert Mohler and Dr. Michael Youssef. One can only conclude that emotions trump doctrine. Is it ok to feel "spiritually healed" as a result of a book that is clearly heretical?

      <description><![CDATA[More Proof: The East is Seducing the West

When I came home from the radio studio last week, I had more e-mails that brought the total to about 15 in two weeks on the issue of "spiritual formation." It is hitting Christian universities and churches like Hurricane Katrina. Bad metaphor, you say. Not really. It is causing real destruction. And since spiritual formation, too, deals heavily with the mystical, I thought I would take time to give a brief overview of this topic. I know many of you feel nothing unsound as this could walk in the door of your church, but don't be so sure!

      <description><![CDATA[When Students Are Left for the Wolves

I wasn't prepared for what I was about to hear the evening of November 3. My alma mater, Bethel University in St. Paul, MN, sponsored an Interreligious Symposium promoting some kind of "common ground" between Buddhism and Christianity. One would think if a Christian had an ounce of discernment, they would deduce that Christianity has nothing to do with Buddhism and such unions are playing with fire. But a panel concluded that there was "common ground" when it came to "meditation."  Granted, this kind of meditation could put one in a dangerous altered state of consciousness, but maybe that's ok as long as we can find a bit of unity here! Some would call this common bond of meditation "contemplative prayer."
