The Christian Post is currently running an article called "
Minister Launches 'Spiritual But Not Religious' Movement [SBNR]."
One of the teachers behind SBNR is Ian Lawton who ministers in Spring Lake, Michigan at Christ Community Church. Here is a quote from his "Reclaiming Sin Before the Apple Hits the Ground" sermon:
Quote:
Many of you have updated your portrait of God. You no longer have a narrow idea of God who is up in the sky, keeping a check list of your behavior. You see God as the source of life and love and creativity. You see God as mother earth, and the evolutionary process, and the mystery of grace and more. Now put this new portrait of God into the context of the Ten Commandments.
I am Mother Earth. I have given you life. I sustain and nourish your life. I provide resources so that you might live abundantly. You have no other mother earth than me. Know your place in the cosmic scheme of things and live in gratitude and respect. Suddenly the Ten Commandments come alive with ecological relevance. They are about the cosmic relationship of grace and liberation.
Mr. Lawton has been deceived and by standing as a teacher, he has become a deceiver.
