This short quote at Apprising Ministries puts proper perspective upon this issue as it concerns the evangelical community and its growing rebellion against Sola Scriptura in favor of subjective experience in Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism masquerading as Spiritual Formation.

add to discussionA new post over at Apprising Ministries is presented as further evidence of this Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) becoming a growing menace within the “Protestant” evangelical community.
