What Should I Say?
by Sandy Simpson How do you answer an invitation to attend a meeting where you know nothing about the speaker or what will be done there? What happens if they want to announce the meeting at your church and invite everyone? What do you say to a person who tells you that you don't have the Holy Spirit even though you are a Christian? What should you do if you think something is wrong, or your conscience is bothering you about something that was said or done? The answer? Go to the Scriptures! The Bible has all the answers to your questions. This little booklet is an attempt to deal with a few of the typical statements you will hear from people who have become involved in the Third Wave revival movement. By "Third Wave" I am referring to teachers, "prophets" and any meeting associated with the Toronto "Blessing", Brownsville Assemblies of God, Rodney Howard-Browne, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Rod Parsley, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyers, Bethel Church, Lakeland and many others who appear on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and the 700 Club on TV. Hopefully the statements and answers in this booklet will set you off on an investigation of your own in the Word. If you need help, and you have access to the Internet, you can visit my web site called "Deception In The Church" that deals with these issues and has the articles mentioned in this booklet.

at The Berean Call, 9/21/15 
[TBC: From the April 2006 newsletter: Psychotherapy is an exercise in futility unless innate goodness resides within man at his very core. Here's why: if man has an evil nature, as the Bible teaches, then it's impossible for him to change himself. In other words, if I'm innately evil, I will always be evil because there is nothing within me to enable me to change . But if I'm good within but am experiencing problems of living, then through various psychological methods or techniques, I should be able to tap into, utilize, or realize that goodness and thus remedy the adversities I experience. All the psychotherapeutic selfisms, from self-love to self-esteem to self-image to self-actualization to self-realization-and ultimately to self-deification-are predicated upon the innate goodness of one's nature.]

Beth Moore & Priscilla Shirer's History of Contemplative Prayer and Why War Room Should Not Have Used Them (Booklet)
|
by John Lanagan 
and the Editors at Lighthouse Trails
9/22/15
Contemplative prayer, which Priscilla Shirer refers to as her "brand new way" and Beth Moore says is essential in really knowing God, is in reality an ancient prayer practice that is essentially the same as New Age or Eastern meditation though disguised with Christian terminology. Those who participate and enter the contemplative silence, as it is called, open themselves to great deception.

| "Contemplative Spirituality - the Source of the Catholic Church's Expansion" |
by Ray Yungen, 9/24/15
I had always been confused as to the real nature of this advance in the Catholic church. Was this just the work of a few mavericks and renegades, or did the church hierarchy sanction this practice? My concerns were affirmed when I read in an interview that the mystical prayer movement not only had the approval of the highest echelons of Catholicism but also was, in fact, the source of its expansion.

at Lighthouse Trails, 9/25/15
LTRP Note: On the morning of September 24th, Lighthouse Trails posted an article by Ray Yungen titled "Contemplative Spirituality - the Source of the Catholic Church's Expansion" "Coincidentally," one hour later, Lighthouse Trails was contacted and told that the Catholic Church's Jesuit Pope Francis talked about Thomas Merton (using the term contemplative to describe him) when he addressed Congress. Shortly later, Lighthouse Trails received this letter to the editor below.
