New Age movement?

[Kabowd]

Honestly, I think you guys may be overly critical. I'm not aware of what church is using this "slogan", but I really don't have a problem with it. There is no "slogan" which will accurately convey the entire gospel message, especially in a short amount of time (which is what slogans are meant to do). They are designed to target a specific audience and address a common need/desire/theme. While I'm not necessarily a fan of church slogans, I try not to discount them altogether because I have no idea what God is doing on a broad spectrum.

It's no secret that we are living in a generation of ppl who don't know where they're going, who are searching for something...and still haven't found it. We're living in an age of "the lost" where a large majority of ppl in multiple age groups don't know who they are, what they believe or what their purpose is. Why is it so wrong to use a simple phrase that might peak their interest enough to get them into a place (the church) where they can hear the truth and answers to all their questions? "Find your path..enjoy the journey together"...to me this communicates that this is a place that will help you discover who you are, where you're headed and they'll walk through it all with you. What's wrong with that? Isn't that the essence of being the salt and light? Isn't that what being the body is all about?

Now, just so you know, I'm not a fan of "seeker-sensitive" or "mega-church" mentality, so it's sort of unusual for me to go against the grain here and disagree on this. But I just think sometimes we're too quick to judge little things like this. God can use phrases, questions and yes even "slogans" to draw ppl to Himself. So while it might not necessarily be a phrase you or your church would use, don't under-estimate what God might be using this particular body to do. They may be filling a need that other congregations are missing.

Way to go girl "e-motion"

It's very Zen. Very Today. But are we to reach out by worshipping our G-d as they do theirs?

[apothanein kerdos]

Talk about out of context.

It's for the United Methodist Church. Watch the commercial and it's quite clear they're appealing to the sensetive aspets of people on a "spiritual journey". It's a good way to get them in. I don't agree with it, but it's not New Age.

IF I called Christianity "the way" would I be a New Ager as well? If I said Christianity was a journey, would I believe in New Age?

The problem is it says, "Find your path" not "Find the path."

That's what kind of makes it sound suspicious.

Good point.

I am most likely wrong, I am proved that way anyway, I scribbled it down during the news on the hurricane clean-up and may have not gotten it right. It may have said, Follow your path.

I apologize for 'taking this out of context' I heard it on the TV and wanted to ask your opinion, but I dont' know how to do even that. To some I could ask what color they liked and found to have something wrong with it.

Thats what the New Age mumbo jumbo gumbo is all about. For them, the doctrine of many "truths" is orthodoxy.

It just came on the TV again, the one I have been seeing tonight is a condensed version, the first one I saw a pregnant lady haveing a pretty angry fight with her 'husband"? and other such vignettes. then they showed them like the preg woman, walking out, and meeting on a hillside.

It did say , "Find your path"

Again I am watching coverage of Katrina, so maybe that is why they are using this campaign, but ......

[justme7]

it sounds like folly!!!!!!!

mainstream folly!!!!!!!

lies and purposeful deception. taking GOD out of politics and public places is just part of the plan....the real plan: take GOD out of everything all together. with money, power, science, media, and propaganda the world seeks to forcefully turn us away from the LORD.

if the tv is playing this during coverage of 'katrina', it is the anti-help.
