Neo-Paganism
The Minefield known as Near-Death Experiences
The phenomenon known as a ‘near-death experience’ [NDE] was first
given this name in 1975. Literature based on NDEs has since become a
leading way of disseminating New Age philosophy. Christians who are
reading NDE material are leaving themselves wide open to deception.
Beguiled by highly seductive accounts of visits to “heaven” they are
starting to reinterpret the Bible to fit this new paradigm. Some are even
wondering if they, too, should be having these experiences. In our paper
we examine the way this ancient pagan phenomenon has been re-
packaged by the Enemy to undermine faith in God’s Word.

Reiki, the Occult, and Psychic Attack
The extent to which New Age practices are becoming acceptable, even
commonplace, within society is a matter of great concern. They are
touted as "new" but are actually old-fashioned pagan beliefs dressed up
in glitzy new clothes. Reiki is a prime example of this. Masquerading as a
healing modality, it is really a way of exposing members of the public to
the sinister influence of 'spirit guides'. As such it is both occult and
dangerous. Have nothing to do with it. [Posted 10/04/2016]
Hatha Yoga, the Coiled Serpent, and Undiscerning Christians
Many professing Christians have taken up Hatha yoga for health reasons.
They believe it is possible to adopt the purely physical aspects of yoga
without also accepting the philosophy behind it. This paper [which is also
available as a flyer] shows why this assumption is wrong. All forms of
yoga, including Hatha yoga, are built around the Hindu pantheistic
worldview. Yoga is not just incompatible with Christianity, but hostile to
it. Christians who take it up are being incredibly naive and risk exposing
themselves to harmful supernatural influences.

Chuck Missler and the Curse of New Age Christianity
The coming One World religion is being created through the gradual
synthesis of existing Christian organizations and groups. This process
includes the introduction of New Age ideas in a Christianized form and
the subsequent reinterpretation of traditional Biblical doctrines. One of
the leaders in this global program of subversion is Chuck Missler who for
years portrayed himself as a champion of traditional Evangelical
Christianity. Our paper exposes the methods he is using and the alarming
implications of his New Age beliefs. [Posted 07/02/2014]
'Communication' with the Departed is forbidden in Scripture
There was a time when Bible-believing Christians understood and lived
by the strict Biblical prohibition against trying to contact departed loved
ones. They knew both why it was wrong and the harm it would do. Alas,
many professing Christians today have lost this understanding and are
violating God's Word by seeking out signs and dreams from departed
loved ones. The book Have Heart is a disturbing example of this trend.
This paper explores the arguments made by those who endorse this
deplorable practice, known as necromancy, and the way the Enemy is
using it to draw the church further into apostasy. [Posted 14/11/2013]
The Jesus Calling Books are an Alarming New Age Deception
Millions of copies of the book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young have been
sold to date. It was the best-selling 'Christian' book of 2012. Many so-
called evangelical leaders are urging their churches to read it. And yet it
is an appalling travesty of Biblical truth. This paper examines the
evidence and shows just how far 'Christian' publishing has departed from
the traditional gospel message. The publication of Jesus Calling marks a
new phase in the collapse of the evangelical church. [Posted 01/10/2013]
Proof that C S Lewis was a Pagan and a not a born-again Christian
Millions of Christians the world over cling to the mistaken belief that C S
Lewis was a born-again Christian and a great apologist for true
Christianity. This paper shows that, not only was he not a born-again
Christian, but he held numerous beliefs which were blatantly New Age
and occult. Using his own words, we show that Lewis was a wolf in
sheep's clothing, a first class purveyor of mischief, confusion and
apostasy. [Posted 2010]
