Makes No Sense for Contemplatives to Celebrate Easter

April 6, 2023 by Lighthouse Trails Editors 4 Comments

The Church’s fixation on the death of Jesus as the universal saving act must end, and the place of the cross must be reimagined in Christian faith. Why?

“Progressive” Christianity—After Our Children and Grandchildren

April 26, 2022 by Lighthouse Trails author 3 Comments

By Berit Kjos Today’s “progressive” emerging churches have little love for the old certainties that have grounded genuine Christians in God’s revealed truth for 2000 years. They say those precious guidelines don’t fit the new dialectic and collective ways of thinking. Today’s entertainment-driven Christians prefer “feel good” assurances stripped of unwanted references to sin, guilt, … [Read more…]

Turning to Fables

June 4, 2021 by Lighthouse Trails author 3 Comments

By Mary Danielsen While many in the church seem to have fallen asleep at their post and have ceased to “watch therefore,” they seem to have plenty of time and attention to be distracted by “heaps of teachers” out there who are more than happy to tell them what they want to hear.

Letter to the Editor: “Christian” Professor Finds “Warm Welcome” at Wheaton College to Teach and Promote Critical Race Theory

May 21, 2021 by Letters to the Editor 1 Comment

LTRP Note: Because Wheaton College has been promoting and embracing both contemplative spirituality and emergent ideologies for many years (as Lighthouse Trails has documented), it makes perfect sense that they would now embrace the social justice, Marxist-influenced movement.
