[pro610]

Leading people to Jesus is most important.
Continuing to feed them with accurate scripture is also important.
Tell me where Centering Prayer and Yoga is acceptable with scripture?
Satan is real and he is very clever.
The Bible tells us to test every spirit.
Satan does come as an angel of light.
Don,t take this out of context.
I am not calling Rick Warren Satan.
His methods should be questioned

I don't know where in Warren's writings you are getting "centering prayer" or yoga from, however, meditation and focusing in prayer have been accepted disciplines in the church from the early church in the New Testament. Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, Kent Hughes, Lorne Sandy and many other current writers, Pastors and theologians have recommended these disciplines, especially when spending an extended period of time with the Lord, fasting and praying. The mind wanders, the body needs to stretch, hunger and thirst distract. It is learned and practiced disciplines that keep the mind and heart focused on the Lord so that we can hear what He has to say to us through his Word, the witness of others in books or songs of praise, or His speaking to us in the quiet of meditation on His word or prayer. It seems to me Warren is not for you or your fellowship, and that is alright.Just don't close the door to others who are being lead by God to find the path through the gift God has given him. It is like the parable of the dog in the manger. It doesn't belong there but it won't let the baby, the rightful occupant, sleep there. Don't shut the door to the kingdom to those who are sensitive to Warren's approach.
