The second chapter of second Thessalonians tells us there will be a falling away before the day of the Lord.
How can we avoid this falling away? One candidate for producing a massive falling away, and which has roots in most of the world’s religions, is already on the scene. It has even made significant in-roads into evangelical churches. The Emergent Church promotes this.
The Roman Catholic Church promotes this, and it stems from ancient practices in Buddhism and Hinduism. How does this affect our relationship with God? What does a biblical prayer life look like, as compared to modern trends of “creative” prayers? Is God so boring that we must invent techniques to keep ourselves entertained in prayer, instead of just talking with Him from our hearts and minds?
Of course God is the ultimate awesome, who alone is worthy of our praise. We walk by faith, not by sight. His Word is the final Word in every matter, including prayer, regardless of what modern pundits might say to the contrary.
“Resisting the Mystical”
looks at the history behind the mystical movement, which is dangerously perched in evangelical churches today, and urges readers to be faithful to God’s Word and fervent in Biblical prayer.
The book also includes summary charts for quick access to key information and is fully referenced with many primary source quotations.
