APOSTASY, CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY/MYSTICISM (CSM) IN THE SBC

In this feature piece Apprising Ministries will introduce the Body of Christ to an epidemic disease in the American Christian Church that might come to be referred to as: “Me-no-wanna-see-i-tus.” As one who has been an SBC pastor myself since 1994, this illness is particularly evident concerning my ongoing look at the growing influence of decidedly anti-Reformation Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) within the Southern Baptist Convention, which is the largest so-called “Protestant” evangelical denomination in the United States.

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1, NASB)

Read the hard truth of what's taken root in the Southern Baptist Convention.
