I used to listen to Charles Colson every morning for about 5 minutes on a local radio station. He has a short editorial program each week day called Break Point. I loved that program for years. It gave one a quick take on some current event or trend in the arena of politics, religion, society, or entertainment from a Christian perspective. However, he started to associate with characters who are not orthodox. And I don't mean he went to lunch with them or worked with them on projects that had little to do with the faith. No, he engaged them in ways Christians ought not do. For instance, he has recently worked with Rick Warren on a project about faith and worldview.
Today, I tuned in for the first time in a while. He was plugging a show on PBS. It was about a really spiritual man and Colson spent quite some time telling his listeners just how good and wonderful this man was.
This man was Henri Nouwen, a catholic mystic and syncretist, who sought to mix mysticism and psychology with Catholic theology. (Yeah, just press the puree button and stand back.) I don't trust Charles Colson any longer. And neither should you.
In Christ,
Phil Perkins.

Christo-ranter,
You said, "I'd like to be able to just shut all the filters down, go slack jawed, and just sit there, soaking everything up."
Well, then you'd be a good Evangelical, huh? Anyway, spirituality is about the heart, not the head, right? Stop thinkin' and start feelin'. We're goin' ta church, Kids.
"...excursion in to 'unity.'" Yeah, and right out of orthoxy.
Good eye.
Keep on ranting,
Phil Perkins. Ps--You know, I've just about come to the point of not reading anything but the Bible.
"I don't trust Charles Colson any longer. And neither should you."
Ditto.
And his syncretistic theology is but the tip of the iceberg.
Anonymous,

In Chirst,
