The other day in Tim Keller On Greatest Names In Praying And Spirituality at Apprising Ministries I shared my plan. That’s to continue to give you reason to be concerned about the corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) ala the Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster and his spiritual twin, Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard, slithering around—even within […]
