LTRP Note: The news article below is posted for informational and research purposes. Sarah Young (d. 2023), the author of best-selling book, Jesus Calling, was a member of the PCA (a Reformed/Calvinist Presbyterian denomination). To understand the dangerous spiritual implications of Jesus Calling, please refer to the Lighthouse Trails archive of articles on Jesus Calling and in particular former New Age follower Warren B. Smith’s book and booklets on the topic where he identifies the “Jesus” of Jesus Calling as a false christ. We hope that PCA members who may now reject this 20-year-old book by Ms. Young will understand the detrimental effect this false christ has had on countless women (and men).
You may read Smith’s 18-page booklet, 10 Scriptural Reasons Jesus Calling Is a Dangerous Book freely online.
Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.—Jesus Christ (Luke 21:8)

The Presbyterian Church in America has approved a resolution to investigate the influence of Sarah Young’s book Jesus Calling on the denomination and might decide to ban it.
Less than a year after Young died at age 77, commissioners at the PCA General Assembly on Thursday morning voted to approve Overture 33, which called on two denominational agencies to investigate the book.
Specifically, the amended overture called on the Committee on Discipleship Ministries to make a report assessing “the book’s appropriateness for Christians in general” and to “outline its reasons for withdrawing the book from its inventory previously and not offering it for sale since.” Click here to continue reading.

The PCA should take the beam out of their own eye, before launching an investigation intoministry of anyone else. I’m not a fan of Youngs books, but neither am I a fan of the PCA’s hypocrisy.

The PCA cancelled a recent convention because an invited speaker was so left that PCA members revolted.
Then the board stated, regardless of who they invite, there was only one candidate they could vote for.
Guess who? More problems coming
