Book Review: the Impact of God, Soundings From St. John of the Cross by Iain Matthew
love poetry, poetry directed at Christ, and his doctrine includes the idea that one cannot know God, for to ascend in contemplative prayer is to reach nothingness. He writes in a poem: To come to savour all Seek to find savour in nothing
Faulty Fads in the Church DVD

Studio: Serenity Enterprises
The Church is struggling today with serious infections. These infections take the form of various fads. While outwardly professing belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Church is riddled with faulty fads weakening almost every part of her Biblical foundations. Eastern mysticism has crept in, turning meaningful prayer meetings into mind-emptying rituals called contemplative prayer promising experiences of a spiritual nature. Feelings have often replaced the solid word of God. Many Church basements are centers for the Martial Arts, where Christian participants learn mystical "centering", adopt physical postures with hidden meanings, and address their instructors as Master, bowing down before these teachers. Adding the word "Christian" to these practices does not make them spiritually healthy! Numerous churches have become "Seeker" Churches, disposing of the parts of the gospel message that might offend anyone's lifestyle. Crowds come to hear contemporary music, followed by a feel-good message, and a perhaps even a "conversion" experience, to an all-accepting Jesus. No change required! They now consider themselves Christians, but are they? This DVD examines various fads, and compares them with Scripture. The sound teaching in this DVD equips Christians, not only to identify and avoid popular fads, but remain strong in their Biblical faith. For over thirty years, internationally, Lorri MacGregor has taught in churches of many denominations, Bible Colleges, radio, and TV, about the dangers to the churches of cult influence. She has authored two books, eight DVD productions, and numerous booklets and magazines on the subject of aberrant teachings influencing the church.
