The Submerging Church part 4

Pastor and filmmaker, Joe Schimmel, joins Eric and continues discussing his newest DVD project "The Submerging Church." Bringing the series to a climax, Joe meticulously unfolds very troubling information concerning the "worship leader" of the Emergent Church - Bono of the wildly popular rock group, U2.

Schimmel details Bono's affinity with the demonic as portrayed by author C.S. Lewis as well as the ungodly lifestyle he and his band display. Besides becoming a sort of statesman/spokesman for various causes and being seen with Presidents, Prime Ministers, and even the Pope, Bono and U2 have gained vast popularity among Christians over the past 3 decades. Those persuaded by occasional mentions of "Jesus" or "God," need to be aware that universalism, ecumenism, and globalism form Bono's unholy trinity as he leads the misfit Emergent's deeper into spiritual jeopardy - and away from biblical truth.

The Submerging Church part 2

Eric interviews pastor and filmmaker, Joe Schimmel, in a continuing discussion of Joe's newest DVD project "The Submerging Church."

In this segment, Schimmel and Barger detail more of the problems associated with the Emergent philosophy in the light of the familiar apologetics standard: Galatians 1:8-9. Joe and Eric also point out the bottom line of Emergent error which is that it leads people into a godless eternity.

Here Schimmel also outlines how one man profoundly effected Bill Hybels (Seeker Movement), Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Movement), and Brian McLaren (Emergent Movement) moving them - and thousands of their followers - in one troubling direction. That man was New Age mystic and management guru, the late Peter Drucker.

The Submerging Church part 1

Eric interviews pastor and filmmaker, Joe Schimmel about his new documentary DVD set "The Submerging Church."

In this first segment, both men tell of their spiritual search before surrendering to Jesus Christ. Each also share unique perspectives on how millions inside Christian churches today have so easily accepted Emergent postmodernism and how it is submerging many congregations both in America and around the world. Joe and Eric also recount how they became aware of the growing Emergent Church and its troubling diversions into cultic and occultic philosophy.

Included are many definitions and problematic quotes from Emergent leaders which will help you to effectively communicate warnings concerning the many problems inherent in the movement.

Being that both Barger and Schimmel come from backgrounds deeply immersed in mystical beliefs and New Age, esoteric practices, both the personal experience and in-depth research they offer serve as bold warnings to those who've shelved the Bible to dabble instead with Emergent heresy.

Bible Prophecy and the Occult part 5 - The Kingdom of the Occult

Jill Martin Rische is Eric's guest again this week as we focus again on the world of the occult from a biblical perspective. Jill is the daughter of the late Dr. Walter Martin, the 20th centuries greatest Christian apologist. She, and co-author Kurt Van Gorden, have taken Walter Martin's notes and teachings and have developed the most complete treatise ever compiled on the topic in their book, The Kingdom of the Occult.

In the first part of the interview, Eric and Jill warned against the inherent dangers of reading occult-oriented literature without first understanding the seductive and spiritually damaging nature of them. In today's episode, Jill and Eric discuss the spread and pervasive acceptance of occultism through the media and literature today. They also connect the Hindu worship tool of yoga with demonic power and detail the fact that Hindu yogis (teachers) decry the current western culture's yoga craze, in particular the notion that yoga can be joined to Christianity, as ignorant and naive.
