Where Are We Going?

October 18, 2020 by Lighthouse Trails Editors 6 Comments

By David Dombrowski The expression “Where are we going?” is not an uncommon one, but whether it be a child asking a parent or a fellow traveler posing the question, it usually denotes a sense of being lost and one of concern. Then, of course, posing the question to a stranger could be one of … [Read more…]

August 11, 2020 by Lighthouse Trails Editors 4 Comments

By Lighthouse Trails Editors Is your church involved in a Spiritual Formation program? If so, you might want to ask the question, what exactly is Spiritual Formation? It’s a fair question, and one that, if not asked, could end up surprising you when your church changes in ways you never imagined. A Christianity Today article states: “Spiritual … [Read more…]

God’s Desire—and a Warning and a Plea

July 12, 2020 by Lighthouse Trails author 1 Comment

By Ray Yungen God’s DesireJust what exactly is God’s desire for mankind? Does He want to send people to Hell? Does He want anyone to live eternally without Him?

Is Christianity Missing Out on Something Vital? Contemplatives Say “Yes”

May 5, 2020 by Lighthouse Trails author 4 Comments

By Ray Yungen Contemplative advocates propose that something vital and important is missing from the church for centuries. The insinuation is that Christians have been lacking something necessary for their spiritual vitality; but that would mean the Holy Spirit has not been fully effective for hundreds of years and only now the secret key has … [Read more…]

By Ray Yungen Two authors from Great Britain portrayed a stunningly clear picture of New Age spirituality.

Emergent Manifesto of Hope Despair Revisited—How It Has Affected Today’s Church

March 10, 2020 by Lighthouse Trails Editors 9 Comments

In 2007, Lighthouse Trails wrote a book review on a book titled Emergent Manifesto of Hope. Today, thirteen years later, we are seeing the “fruit” of the emergent church (that, incidentally, was spawned by leaders like Rick Warren, Bob Buford, and Bill Hybels as is documented in Faith Undone by Roger Oakland).

February 25, 2020 by Lighthouse Trails Editors 7 Comments

There’s a lot of talk about it today; umpteen books are published and more are on the way about lectio divina; and an increasing number of evangelical/Protestant figures are writing about it, endorsing it, and teaching it.

For nearly 18 years, Lighthouse Trails has been reporting on the slide that evangelical colleges, universities, and seminaries have been taking into the contemplative/emergent/ecumenical river.

“Bringing Light To Areas of Darkness”

January 26, 2020 by Lighthouse Trails Editors 6 Comments

By the Editors at Lighthouse Trails In the year 2000, we learned that a mantra-style meditation coupled with a mystical spirituality had been introduced to the evangelical Christian church and was infiltrating youth groups, churches, seminaries, and Bible studies at an alarming rate. In the spring of 2002, we began Lighthouse Trails Publishing with the … [Read more…]

The New Age Christian—An Accepted Oxymoron

January 16, 2020 by Lighthouse Trails author 9 Comments

It is important to understand that Satan is not simply trying to draw people to the dark side of a good versus evil conflict.

A Word About Salvation Versus “the Contemplative Way”

December 1, 2019 by Lighthouse Trails author Leave a Comment

By Ray Yungen Knowing Jesus Christ is not merely religion or spirituality but is rather a personal relationship with Him. Romans 10:2 speaks of those who have a “zeal for God but not according to knowledge.” Many contemplative writers describe a spiritual despondency they suffer before turning to mystical prayer as a remedy, and consequently … [Read more…]

Beyond a Doubt: Contemplative Prayer EQUALS New Age Meditation

November 5, 2019 by Lighthouse Trails author 2 Comments

By Ray Yungen Before writing my book, A Time of Departing, I made sure I could prove, beyond a doubt, that contemplative prayer had not only slipped into the Christian faith, but also prove it is an integral part of the New Age movement. In fact, New Agers see contemplative prayer as one of their … [Read more…]

Note: Ray Yungen’s explanation of what “New Age” shows why Lighthouse Trails says the New Age has infiltrated Christianity. When we realize that mystical meditation is at the heart of the New Age as well as at the heart of contemplative spirituality, we then realize they are one in the same.

Letter to the Editor: Interest in Contemplative Catholic Monasteries Increasing

August 15, 2019 by Letters to the Editor 5 Comments

The contemplative response is not a luxury or an added extra [for the Carmelite]; it is at the very core of how we see life and cope with the challenges and pressures of what we call our postmodern world.

Neglecting to Test the Spirits—A Tragedy of Enormous Proportions

If there is one thing we don’t hear much about from today’s Christian leaders and pastors, it is the importance of testing the spirits.
