Questions and Responses

Question: Recently I joined a yoga class for fitness and relaxation. During the class, mantras are used....Everyone I have asked seems to think there is no problem with this but I feel uncomfortable and do not know why.

Question: If God has made us so that repeating a divine name invites the Spirit into our heart and soul, then what better form of prayer than to use this technique to invite the risen Christ into our hearts?

Question: In the July Q&A, a reader asked about counseling an unbelieving sister about yoga....Trying to convince someone intellectually of the need of salvation is usually a losing argument, in my opinion.

Question: In both your books and the newsletter you have spoken against Christians practicing yoga....Aren’t you keeping many from a helpful and healthy exercise by warning against yoga?

Question: Would you please describe the problems you have with the two business courses, "New Age Thinking: and "Leadership Development-Reach For Excellence"?

Question: How do I counsel my unbelieving sister about yoga?

Question: Recently I joined a yoga class for fitness and relaxation. During the class, mantras are used. The teacher explained the meanings such as “all is truth.” Is it wrong to participate in these mantras?

Question: I’m very concerned about New Age Bible Versions and it has little to do with my personal bias for or against any particular version of the Bible. It’s creating division in my church....What are your thoughts?

Question: I recently saw an ad for New Age Bible Versions that carried your endorsement. Since the ad also had some pretty sensational copy, could you give your perspective of the book?
