Parents beware: Anti-Church? Lilly Foundation funded “Youth Specialites” takes control of another internet youth ministry: Planet Wisdom
What’s in store for Planet Wisdom?
Anti-Church: scented candles, folk music and “holy ground” “aura” for hugs all around. I.E. New Age, Lilly Foundation sponsored anti-Christian lies.
excerpted from: Retro-worship: Challenging the Techno Paradigm
Lights are off, and the closely packed fellowship hall is warm from the heat of dozens of scented candles. About sixty teens, their shoes piled out in the hallway, sit worshipping quietly, some on couches and others cross-legged on the floor. Open prayer and testimony time has begun, and participation is enthusiastic. If the power goes out, which it does from time to time around here, Jim Ramos’ Tuesday night high schoolers probably won’t even notice. They’re on Holy Ground.
Conversation is subdued, and hugs break out spontaneously. Gone are the edgy sounds of a Christian band’s latest CD, they are replaced by a soulful Irish folk-lilt of instrumental hymns. The high dollar LCD video projector is dark, and the worship band has traded in their drums and amps for acoustic guitars. Games and crowd icebreakers are used only sparingly nowadays. The Starbucks espresso maker is cold; volunteer barista Mark Watson no longer pulls shots or steams milk for a lineup of decaf cappuccinos. Watson now leads a breakout group.
The scene is especially odd; since only two years earlier, Ramos had worked doggedly to fund the equipment that would bring his ministry into the new millennium, joining scores of other youth pastors nationwide. Yet if current wisdom says the path to teen cultural relevance is digital, then why has Ramos done such an about-face, challenging the computer-café model of youth ministry?
…
“We have created ‘anti-church’,” he says simply.
“I think most youth pastors are too immature to understand what is needed these days to go deep—they need to look at and rethink what these teens are really wanting and needing. We are catering to the believer.”
“Too immature…” Translation: they haven’t succumbed to the Purpose Driven heresy. Gotta love those dipraxis accusations against us new creatures in Jesus Christ who transgress the new emotional dogma coming out of Saddleback, Crystal Cathedral, Lilly Foundation, Aspen Institute, CFR, etc.
“Catering to the believer”. I.E. Selling the believer whatever they are deceived to desire as that emotional dogma via the satanic Hegelian process.
Jim Ramos is listed on Rick Warren’s Saddle Back Church’s Purpose Driven website as one who has put the purpose driven heresy by Rick Warren into action and is a ‘facilitator’.
To them, that means “effective leader” of the new “Christianity”. To Christ, they are those who have gone through a process of culling out all the Christians who knew what they were up to and have now got a core group of teachers and young people to lead other unsuspecting young people into heresies in the guise of having a ‘more fun’ Christ and “Christian life” than those of the orthodox past were able to bear.
Beware your children doing anything with “Purpose Driven” or “Youth Specialties” and now “planet wisdom” in the name. The Lilly Foundation. Again.
Jude 1:3,4 Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. For certain men have got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly persons , turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it. 2 Kings 18:25
Anti-Christ tried the lie that God had sent him to conqueor Jerusalem through the Assyrians. But God says to the worshipers of demons who hate Jesus Christ and Israel: "But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me." 2 Kings 19:27
