\"\"By Warren B. Smith<\/a><\/h3>\n

(author of the new release “Another Jesus” Calling<\/em>: How False Christs Are Entering the Church Through Contemplative Prayer<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

One of the many spin-off products from Sarah Young\u2019s best-selling book, Jesus<\/i> Calling<\/i>, is the Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>. It is a New King James Bible<\/i> filled with \u201cmessages\u201d Young claims to have \u201creceived\u201d from Jesus Christ. In the original Introduction to her book, Jesus Calling<\/i>, Young describes the nature of these messages:<\/p>\n

\u00a0My journaling had changed from monologue to dialogue. Soon, messages began to flow more freely, and I bought a special notebook to record these words. 1<\/p>\n

I have continued to receive personal messages from God as I meditate on Him. 2<\/p>\n

This practice of listening to God has increased my intimacy with Him more than any other spiritual discipline, so I want to share some of the messages I have received. 3<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the Introduction to Young\u2019s Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>, she describes the \u201cjoy of listening to Jesus with pen in hand”:<\/p>\n

\u00a0After many years of writing in prayer journals\u2014and then discovering the joy of listening to Jesus with \u201cpen in hand\u201d \u2014 I believe all of this more than ever today. 4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She describes the difference that this \u201clistening to Jesus\u201d has made in her life. She writes:<\/p>\n

What has made the difference? The practice of listening to Jesus and letting Him speak to me. This practice has done more to increase my intimacy with Him than any other spiritual discipline. And the words of assurance and instruction that He has \u201cspoken\u201d to me over the years are what I have shared in my devotional books. 5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0Young Believes that her \u201cMessages\u201d from \u201cJesus\u201d Belong in<\/i> the Bible?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Young\u2019s personal \u201cmessages\u201d from \u201cJesus\u201d occupy some 250 separate full pages of her Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>. Young claims that the placement of her messages and writings alongside Scripture is a \u201cnatural place\u201d for them \u2014 and that she feels honored to have them there.<\/p>\n

Since my writings are rooted in the infallible, unchanging Word of God, having them appear alongside the biblical text would seem to be a natural place for them. It is an honor to have devotionals from two of my books, Jesus Calling<\/i> and Jesus Lives<\/i>, included in this volume. 6<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, as I pointed out in “Another Jesus” Calling<\/i>, many of Sarah Young\u2019s \u201cmessages\u201d in Jesus Calling<\/i> are clearly not rooted in the \u201cinfallible, unchanging Word of God.\u201d And now, a number of these problematic \u201cmessages\u201d have been placed throughout the pages of her Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Take, for example, the bizarre account<\/a> she reputedly received from Jesus regarding Abraham and Isaac. This \u201cmessage\u201d has been placed \u201calongside\u201d the actual Genesis 22 account, with her \u201cJesus\u201d purportedly describing Abraham as an idolate<\/i>r and son-worshiper<\/i>:<\/p>\n

Remember the extreme measures I used with Abraham and Isaac. I took Isaac to the very point of death to free Abraham from son-worship. Both Abraham and Isaac suffered terribly because of the father\u2019s undisciplined emotions. I detest idolatry even in the form of parental love. 7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But this extrabiblical<\/i> \u201cmessage\u201d from Young\u2019s \u201cJesus\u201d is blatantly unbiblical<\/i>. In fact, her publisher, Thomas Nelson, has removed it from some recent printings of Jesus Calling<\/i> and related products.\u00a0 The original Abraham and Isaac August 23rd<\/sup> \u201cdevotion\u201d has been cut and pasted and toned down to now read Jacob and Joseph rather than Abraham and Isaac. As mentioned in a previous Lighthouse Trails pos<\/a>t, Sarah Young and her Thomas Nelson editors have removed controversial materials from recently printed Jesus Calling <\/i>items with no explanation, apology, or repentance to Young\u2019s millions of readers.\u00a0 However\u2014at least as of today\u2014this original Abraham and Isaac account can still be found\u2014unbelievably\u2014in Young\u2019s Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Ironically, the Jesus Calling: 365 Devotional For Kids <\/i>also keeps Abraham and Isaac in the August 23rd<\/sup> account. However, Young\u2014with help from others\u2014has cleaned up the original account to make it more biblical. The new sanitized version, according to the book\u2019s title page, originated with Sarah Young. It was adapted by a woman named Tama Fortner and then further edited by another woman named Kris Bears. And now gone is Abraham\u2019s idolatry<\/i>. Gone are his undisciplined emotions<\/i>. And instead of having been<\/i> a son-worshiper, now he is only in danger<\/i> of worshiping his son. This carefully paraphrased, adapted, and further edited version of \u201cJesus’\u201d original \u201cmessage\u201d now reads:<\/p>\n

Abraham had waited so long for a son. When Isaac finally came, Abraham was in danger of worshipping his son. I tested Abraham, and\u2014as hard as it was\u2014Abraham trusted Me to take care of Isaac. And I did.8<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With all of this cutting, pasting, adapting, and editing away of problematic words and passages\u2014all in the name of \u201cJesus\u201d\u2014one cannot help wonder if this is Thomas Nelson\u2019s attempt to stay one step ahead of unsuspecting readers and legitimate criticism. Responding truthfully and forthrightly about the many controversial questions surrounding Sarah Young\u2019s inconsistent \u201cJesus\u201d appear to be less important than preserving her #1 best-selling book Jesus Calling<\/i> and its many related products\u2014like the Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Other Problems with the Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Other problematic \u201cmessages\u201d contained in the original, unedited Jesus Calling<\/i> can also be found in Young\u2019s Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>. Perhaps the most obviously unscriptural is how Young\u2019s \u201cJesus\u201d contradicts the Bible\u2019s Jesus in regards to the last words Jesus spoke before ascending into heaven. In the Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>, with Matthew 28:20 cited at the bottom of the page, Young\u2019s \u201cJesus\u201d states:<\/p>\n

My final statement just before I ascended into heaven was: Surely I am with you always. That promise was for all my followers, without exception.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But these were not Jesus Christ\u2019s last words. This Matthew 28:20 passage was uttered on a mount in Galilee (Matthew 28:16) while His last words were actually spoken later in Acts 1:7-9 on the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:12):<\/p>\n

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. \u00a0And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and the true Jesus does not contradict Himself regarding His last words before ascending into heaven or any other matter. Nor does He put forth untrue, disparaging remarks about Abraham and Isaac. While it is not the purpose of this article to catalog all the concerns that arise when reading Sarah Young\u2019s Jesus Calling Devotional Bible<\/i>, these two examples alone should be enough to keep any sincere believer far away from the Jesus Calling Devotional Bibl<\/em>e.<\/p>\n

Bible Warnings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2 Corinthians 11:4)<\/p>\n

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)<\/p>\n

Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. (Galatians 5:7-9)<\/p>\n

For many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ, and shall deceive many. (Matthew 24:5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
