\n\"Contemplative<\/a>SPECIAL NOTE: <\/strong>Learn more about the new spirituality coming in to the church through various avenues by reading A “Wonderful” Deception<\/em>, A Time of Departing<\/em>, and Faith Undone<\/em>. (Click here for more information on this “New Spirituality Trio,”<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, exposing the truth in courage and strength.)<\/p>\n

On Saturday, October 10, 2009<\/strong>, Warren B. Smith<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and Ray Yungen<\/span><\/strong><\/a> will be speaking in Atascadero, California from 9am until 3pm. They will be talking about the spiritual deception that has come into the church today through contemplative spirituality, the emerging church, the Purpose Driven movement, and more.<\/p>\n

Warren Smith will be addressing several issues that he wrote about in his new book, A “Wonderful” Deception<\/em>, including The Shack <\/em>and the “new science” that is being brought forth to “prove” that God is in all things.<\/p>\n

Ray Yungen will explain what contemplative spirituality (spiritual formation) is, who is promoting and teaching it, and why it a dangerous and unbiblical belief system.<\/p>\n

The Saturday meeting is hosted by the Calvary Chapel church in Atascadero. There will be no charge.<\/p>\n

We realize many who receive this email live too far away to attend this meeting, but we still wanted to let you know about it, hoping you would pray for those attending that many would come to understand the seriousness of what is taking place in the church today.<\/p>\n
