		<description><![CDATA[39. Reversionism: Reaction/Distraction, Frantic Search for Happiness

Thesis: I do not believe that reversionism should be viewed as stages, although at times there may seem to be a logical and chronological connection between one form and another. What is referred to as stages of reversionism are in fact conditions intrinsically present in the life of every human being born into the human race. Rather than stages of reversionism, each “stage” is a condition present in the unbeliever’s life associated with the old-man in every one of us. What we have heretofore referred to as stages of reversionism will be referred to as conditions associated with the old-man found in both the unbeliever and believer when either is functioning from the source of the old-man. Reversionism is not entered by choice. Reversionism is entered by physical birth. Reversionism describes the direction away from God’s divinely decreed solutions designed to meet man’s divinely decreed human needs.

		<description><![CDATA[Modern Christian Mysticism Medieval mysticism has managed to survive within small pockets of Roman Catholicism for centuries but has gone largely unnoticed by evangelicals. It is true that a few groups, such as the Quakers, have always kept some aspect of mysticism within range of evangelical awareness, and elements of mystical practices have actually thrived in charismatic circles right down to the ranks of Fundamentalism. But classical mysticism was virtually unknown in Evangelical circles until 1978 when Quaker minister Richard J. Foster published Celebration of Discipline, the Path to Spiritual Growth. Hailed by Christianity Today as one of the ten best books of the twentieth century and voted by the readers of that magazine as the third most influential book after the Bible, Celebration of Discipline has blown the doors off evangelicals’ understanding of spirituality. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=defendingthechristianfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5513192&amp;post=246&amp;subd=defendingthechristianfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth" (2 Tim. 2: 15).

PAUL'S exhortation to the younger preacher, Timothy, has come home to many with great power in recent years.  As a result, there has been a return to more ancient methods of Bible study, which had been largely neglected during the centuries of the Church's drift from apostolic testimony.  Augustine's words have had a re-affirmation: "Distinguish the ages, and the Scriptures are plain." And so there has been great emphasis put in many quarters, and rightly so, upon the study of what is commonly known as "dispensational" truth.  This line of teaching, if kept within Scriptural bounds, cannot but prove a great blessing to the humble student of the Word of God who desires to know His will or plan in His dealings with men from creation to the coming glory.  A careful examination of the volume of Revelation shows that God's ways with men have differed in various ages.  This must be taken into account if one would properly apprehend His truth.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=defendingthechristianfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5513192&amp;post=234&amp;subd=defendingthechristianfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hunt, in essence, has made the claim that the critics of Blackaby have simply misunderstood him. That while Blackaby may have been careless and sloppy in many of his statements, he nevertheless is Biblical in his teachings. We beg to differ! Even as we are willing to give Blackaby the benefit of the doubt in some statements, we nevertheless believe that he is in error on several weighty issues. We will deal with two such issues below.

		<description><![CDATA[In a message written on June 22, 2001, one of the active members related an event in her life five years earlier. “I had the feeling,” she wrote,

that if I put “feet to my faith” and traveled intentionally to a sacred place (not unlike a Holy Land trip), then God would honor that and the result might be a deepening of my faith. . . . I chose to visit two sites in particular, Avila, where Teresa lived and was the head of the Carmelite order for about 30 years, and Mount Montserrat, where there is a Benedictine Monastery dedicated to the Black Madonna. . . . Miracles happened and I even had several appearances of what can only be described as angels. . . . One of the miracles was that I got to stand in the cell that Teresa lived in for 27 years and feel the power of her presence there.

I wanted to bring back some memory of what my soul had experienced on this trip. I could have used photos or drawings of the places I visited but instead I chose to purchase icons (small paintings on wood) of these two influential and courageous women, . . .

		<description><![CDATA[Crabb started New Way Ministries (the "new way" from Romans 7:6) in 2001, which puts on his School of Spiritual Direction and SoulCare conferences. The ministry's launching pad was Shattered Dreams (WaterBrook, 2001), Crabb's book based on the journey of Naomi in the Book of Ruth. It came out during The Prayer of Jabez fever. (According to Crabb, the message of Shattered Dreams  was the exact opposite: "God, I don't like my territory, but it's all I've got right now, so help me -- and others through me -- find you in it!") The School of Spiritual Direction, SoulCare conferences supposedly teach participants to "enter the battle for the souls" of those they love -- a "concurrent cycle in spiritual formation begins with brokenness (hurt caused by your and others' sin), which leads to repentance (a realization that God is not there to cooperate with your agenda), which leads to abandonment (you resist the temptation to escape or to curse God, instead abandoning yourself to him), which arouses confidence  (the Spirit witnesses to your spirit that you belong to God, and that he is present even in your darkest night), which finally leads to release of what's most alive within you (springs of Living Water)." (Source: "A Shrink Gets Stretched," Christianity Today, May 2003.)<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=defendingthechristianfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5513192&amp;post=205&amp;subd=defendingthechristianfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those in the Reformed tradition generally embrace Covenant theology. This system of theology evolved after the Reformation. It explains all relationships between God and man from the beginning to the end of time under the Covenant of Works, the Covenant of Grace, and (sometimes) the Covenant of Redemption. [In contrast to this, dispensationalists emphasize the covenants that are mentioned in the Bible, such as the Abrahamic Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant, the Davidic Covenant and the New Covenant.]  Reformed/Covenant theologians teach that Old Testament Israelites and New Testament believers are one people and that the Church is but a continuation and successor of Israel. The CHURCH is usually understood as including the saints of all the ages. They teach that the Church, as the successor of Israel, has now absorbed and appropriated Old Testament prophecies and promises. According to their thinking, the promises which God made to Israel are now being fulfilled by the Church or they have been forfeited because of Israel’s unbelief (but see Jeremiah 31:31-37). This system of theology is directly opposed to dispensationalism which makes a clear and Biblical distinction between God’s program for Israel and God’s program for the Church (Acts 15:13-18; Rom. 11:25-26).

		<description><![CDATA[By Cooper P Abrams III   In God's plan men and women were made for different roles. God first created Adam and gave him the responsibility to work (dress) and keep the Garden. (Gen. 2:15) Genesis 2:18 says that God made Eve and she was created to be a "help meet" for man. Her position in reference to man is defined as first "a helper," literally, "a help," 'ézer." Adam in fulfilling his responsibilities in the Garden needed help and God gave that responsibility to Eve. If Adam was to achieve his God directed objectives in life, he needed the help of his mate. In the creation of Eve, God set forth His plan for the role of women. God's plan was Eve was to be at Adam's side that in every way, from having offspring to being Adam's partner in all that was needed for him to carry on his obligations being his counterpart. Eve was the needed part of Adam, making him complete in agreeing with him mentally, physically, spiritually. She is was not made as an inferior being in any degree, but with a different and equally important role and purpose in life.          Adam upon seeing Eve and receiving her stated that Eve was "bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" recognizing that had God created her from him.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=defendingthechristianfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5513192&amp;post=198&amp;subd=defendingthechristianfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

of God, either in their own personal Bible Studies or when listening
to a conservative Preacher, they are often left feeling confused. In reality
if you do not understand basic dispensationalism you will find it hard to
understand a large portion of God's Word. When we study the Bible we study
it within context, and sometimes the context that has the greatest impact
on proper interpretation is to understand the history behind the
writing of the text, that is, the dispensational time frame that
the writer was writing in.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=defendingthechristianfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5513192&amp;post=191&amp;subd=defendingthechristianfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Landmark Baptists hold that the NT model for the church is only the local and visible congregation and that it violates NT principles to speak of a universal, spiritual church. They also believe that Communion should be restricted to members of the local assembly and that baptism is valid only when administered in a properly constituted local Baptist congregation. They also believe that a historic "Baptist succession" may be traced from John the Baptist to modern Baptist churches in which believer's baptism and Landmark principles have prevailed.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=defendingthechristianfaith.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5513192&amp;post=189&amp;subd=defendingthechristianfaith&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
