| Messianic Jews in Israel Head Toward Breakup Over NAR? | by Holly Pivec, 3/5/20 
How destructive is the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? For one example, take a look at the news coming out of Israel. The historically close-knit Messianic congregations in the country are, reportedly, on the brink of a breakup - because of controversy surrounding NAR teachings being promoted there by an influential apostolic network, based in Israel, called Tikkun. The online magazine, Israel Today, recently reported on the impending breakup in an article titled "Messianic Jews Head Toward Breakup: Will the Local Body of Messiah in Israel Survive the Current Serious Debates?" See the article here.

| Letter to the Editor: "Critical Race Theory"-A Political Tactic That Results in Cultural/Marxist Segregation |
at Lighthouse Trails, 3/6/20 
LTRP Note: The following letter is written in response to yesterday's post regarding the SBC and Critical Race Theory. Dear Editors: "Critical Theory" and "Critical Race Theory" (CT/CRT) stratagem originated with the Frankfurt School where some Marxists came up with the more subtle scheme of "Cultural Marxism"-it is a political tactic which is all about gaining power over society (as is Marxism). In other words, CT/CRT is used to deceive people and increase the number of Marxist-minded individuals in order to undermine existing power so that Marxism can take over. This overthrow will first be achieved "culturally," and then complete economic, political, and societal control will follow. This is all done under the guise of things like: releasing the Oppressed; "setting the captives free;" social justice; helping the downtrodden; overthrowing "white supremacy" [which is committed by all with white skin according to CRT advocates]"; "smashing the patriarchy;" and a prevailing "us verses them" mentality. Religion and politics are often melded into one. As a result, Alt-Left politics overtakes an individual's religion, and that person's religion becomes Leftist politics. (Note: It is common for a few verses to be used and perverted in order to sway Christ-followers into Marxist ideology (e.g. "seeking the peace of the city"; e.g. Jer 29:7; Lk 4:18; 2 Pet 3:16; 2 Tim 2:15-18).

A new morality is forming based on an old spirituality. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders described the environmental crisis as a "moral imperative" during a Democrat Party presidential debate. The recent Amazon Synod of Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church invoked Pachamama, a "Mother Earth" goddess, as Pope Francis considers adding a new sin, an "ecological sin."[4] Gaia, an ancient fertility goddess, has provided a spiritual metaphor for climate change since the late 1980s. Climate change is a scientific issue. Climate change has also always been a political issue. The first generation of open advocates for a New World Order seized upon the climate as a perfect crisis to revolutionize the world's governance systems. So how could masses of population be persuaded to radically transform their lives? An ancient spiritual myth was revived - Gaia. Gaia could function as a generic goddess, adaptable to major world religions as a "metaphor," a "framing story" that could impel people to sacrifice freedom for a higher purpose - a religious cause - to save Gaia, the earth re-conceived as a sacred deity ... Read Part 1 - Gaia Goes to Church: The Revival of an Ancient Pagan Goddess and Part 2 - Queen of HEAVEN ~ EARTH Goddess: Gaia & the Catholic Mary
