Erwin McManus' Awaken 2008 Speaker Promotes Eckhart Tolle:ohno

This week, the Awaken 2008 with Erwin McManus is taking place at William Carey University in Pasadena, California. :tskMany of the event speakers (called "Thought Leaders") promote contemplative mysticism, but one in particular, Mark Batterson, points readers on his website to Eckhart Tolle, a New Age guru who is currently being heralded by Oprah Winfrey. Batterson says that Tolle's book, Practicing the Power of Now, is "instrumental in the way I think about life." His public reading list also includes several other New Agers and mystics: Jack Canfield, Daniel Goleman (The Meditative Mind), Gary Thomas (Sacred Marriage, Sacred Pathways), Leonard Sweet, Tony Jones, Brian McLaren, and several others. :tsk

Other "Thought Leaders" at the Awaken 2008 who are contemplative proponents are Willow Creek's Nancy Beach, Bill Hybels, Dan Kimball, Erwin McManus, and Rick McKinley.
For those who do not understand the spirituality behind Eckhart Tolle, please read Warren Smith's four part series and Ray Yungen's book, For Many Shall Come in My Name:thumb:thumb:thumb

not surprised

it has become evident that the emergent church


is about promoting apostasy and leading people astray


i mean, why else are they doing this


2 Timothy 4:3-4 is happening before our own eyes

and

Erwin Mcmanus and the others like him who are pushing stuff like Williamson and Tolle and their new-age rubbish

are the ones helping to fulfill this prophecy

Erwin McManus’ 2008 Speaker Promotes Eckhart Tolle

“Don’t get attached to any one word.


You can substitute ‘Christ’ for presence,

if that is more meaningful to you. Christ is your God-essence or the Self,

as it is sometimes called in the East.

The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless


of whether you are conscious of it or not, whereas presence means your awakened divinity or God-essence.”

–Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

The merging of emergent and New Spirituality teachings is well underway as further reported by Lighthouse

Trails Research as one of Erwin McManus’ speakers from

Awaken 2008 is directly pointing followers to the occult/New Age teachings of Eckhart we-are-all-divine Tolle.

Perry Stone or Grant Jeffry or John Hagee or Jack Van Impe as guests on their Praise show anymore

:scratch as to why that is though I have my suspicions as to why

I think anything good that Eckhart Tolle has to share has its "in context" counterpart in the bible although, admittedly, you have to sort through a lot...
