"Meditating on the law of God is not the same thing as emtying your mind of all thoughts so you can enter into "the cloud of unknowing" aka an altered state of consciousness. That, my friend, is just what Shirley MacLaine, Tom Cruise, and others do. Welcome to the New Age. It's really the old age of Hinduism."

?. Ok? Glad we agree?

Oh, I'm sorry. Clearly you live by the old (true) definitions. Times they are a-changin'. Just be very very curious about everything your church teaches regarding prayer and meditation these days. The New Age version is running rampant in our churches. I am not kidding. I learned this the hard way. My son's youth group was all about studying movies as Scripture. I am not kidding about that either. It drove me crazy. So he went to camp one year where it was all about prayer and meditation. I was thinking, at least they aren't watching trashy movies all week. WELL....later I learn that they were doing this Buddhist meditation nonsense. I WAS SO MAD!!!!!

Our churches are in SERIOUS trouble.
