Eight primary meditation methods are found in eastern religions and new age spirituality, such as breath meditation, chakra meditation, and mantra meditation. In the last episode, we focused on the true biblical approach to meditation; on this episode, we will examine non-biblical practices and arrive at some very important conclusions.

Almost all religions teach methods of meditation. Not all are acceptable to God. If meditation techniques are mechanical, mindless, monotonous, mundane, magical, or even overly mystical, they are probably the wrong approach. Biblical meditation is relational: the overflow of loving communion between the heavenly Father and His sons and daughters. www.thetruelight.net

From Masonic ceremonies to Luciferianism to the depiction of Greek gods and goddesses alongside George Washington, the capitol building in DC has been spiritually under siege since 1793. What does God think about this and what do we need to do? www.thetruelight.net

There is a belief among some Christians that the second coming of Jesus Christ is spiritual, not literal, that it will happen in His people, that there will be no visible return of Jesus to the earth, and that all the scriptures dealing with that blessed hope are metaphorical and should be spiritualized. Are they right?

New Agers often promote reincarnation by quoting Bible passages. For instance, concerning John the Baptist, Jesus said, “If you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah.” How do you prove just one life when dealing with this and other puzzling passages of Scripture?

What does the European Union have to do with the tower of Babel in Genesis 11, the Whorish Woman riding the Beast in Revelation 17, a false Greek deity named Zeus and a Luciferian dedication ceremony of a new tunnel through the Alps? You will be stunned.

Is the “Star of David” the ancient symbol of Israel or the menorah lampstand? Trace the history of this six-pointed star and surprisingly, you will encounter false religions and idolatrous worship. However, on May 14, 1948, God redeemed this symbol and made it a beacon of hope to this world. www.thetruelight.net

Discover Umbanda Spiritism’s connection to Black Lives Matter and Beyonce in this interview with Ivani Greppi, a former Umbanda Spiritist medium. Discover why BLM rioters cry “Say the name!” and the Umbanda deities highlighted in Beyonce’s and Jay-Z’s music. www.thetruelight.net

Why is “the kundalini” also called “the serpent power” by gurus, yoga advocates, and new agers? Is the serpent a symbol of something evil or good? Is there a demon called “a kundalini spirit”? Has it invaded the church? These questions must be answered. www.thetruelight.net

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver recently ended a prayer over the 11th Congress invoking “the monotheistic god, Brahma, and ‘god’ known by many names by many faiths.” This all-inclusive view is surprising especially because he is a former Methodist pastor. My response. www.thetruelight.net

We are on the precipice, about to plunge into the tribulation period. Will the church escape, seven years before the end of the age, by means of a pre-tribulation rapture? Or will there be a post-tribulation catching away, the very last day of this age of grace? Solid answers await.

Almost every nativity scene involves three kings from the Orient riding camels visiting the baby Jesus at a stable in Bethlehem. At least five beliefs associated with this popular tradition are most likely wrong. What are the facts?

Five times, God has spoken to me audibly in 2020 concerning dangerous and troubling things going on in our nation and our world. Instead of the normal, comparative religion theme of this podcast, this episode is all about these prophetic utterances. Be prepared. www.shreveministries.org

The Disney movie “Mulan” promotes Taoism beliefs, like the power of “chi,” ancestor worship, and a deity called “the phoenix.” Though good traits are celebrated like loyalty, bravery, truth, and devotion to family—false religious ideas are also presented.

Buddha’s “Four Noble Truths” state that life is full of suffering and the cause of suffering is desire. So, the way to overcome suffering is to overcome desire. Is that true? Or is there a biblical view that solves the problem of suffering in a more correct and powerful way? www.thetruelight.net.

A science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard founded The Church of Scientology in 1952. It has become one of the most controversial religious cults in modern times. What are some of their major beliefs and why are some of the Hollywood elite attracted to it?

What is “mindfulness” and is it acceptable for Christians? This spiritual practice (often in a watered-down form) is pervading our culture. Though the terms used may seem inviting, the concept is based on a Buddhist worldview. Let’s dig deep and get answers.

Almost every religion promotes a unique view of the future of the universe. These concepts often contradict each other and cannot all be true. Eastern religions are usually cyclical. Mideastern religions tend to be linear. What's the difference? www.thetruelight.net

Why does God allow evil to exist in this world and all the pain that results from it: corrupted hearts, damaged lives, and destroyed dreams? If God is good, why is there so much “bad”? If God created the wicked one perfect (before his fall), how did he ever become wicked? www.thetruelight.net

Many religions offer hope for the future by foretelling the coming of a Messiah-like person who will bring order to this world. Some New Agers teach the coming of Christ will be a mass spiritual awakening. A wide range of other beliefs exist. Learn to distinguish the true from the false. www.thetruelight.net

The politically-correct, religiously-correct answer to this question is all-inclusive: that everyone is a child of God and that we all worship the same God. But is that true? Or are there certain criteria that must be fulfilled to actually "become" a child of God. www.thetruelight.net

What is the origin and the nature of the universe? At least seven schools of thought exist in both categories. They cannot all be right. Some say the universe has always existed while others claim a beginning point. Learn the various views and discover which is correct. www.thetruelight.net

Are human beings comprised of just two parts: a body and a soul. Or is it more complicated? Various religions give conflicting views, assigning three, five, seven, even ten parts to the human makeup. The biblical view is different than all the rest. www.thetruelight.net

What is the solution to our spiritual problem? Do we need salvation, liberation, or enlightenment? Every religion offers a unique answer. Compare the doctrines of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity. They do not all say the same thing. www.thetruelight.net
