Biblical Meditation

For about two years I have been following and studying what is the called the Emergent or Emerging Church movement. The Emergent Church is in some ways a reaction to the Mega-Church movement, but unfortunately at the heart of the Emerging Church is recycled liberalism and the elevation of man’s supposed knowledge over the Word of God.
What is also troubling is the embracing of some of the same ideas and ‘spiritual practices’ by supposedly Reformed and evangelical churches. And at many supposed Christian colleges there are dangerous ‘spiritual practices’ that are being encouraged and taught under the idea of what is called spiritual formation and the use of ‘spiritual disciplines.’
For a number of weeks I have wanted to address one area in particular where there are many dangerous ideas, and that is the subject of meditation. Regarding this subject I want us to look at some of the dangers and false teaching and also the antidote to these dangers found in God’s Word.
