Aaron Muth is putting together a DVD documentary entitled “The Shaking”. This will deal with the issue of Spiritual Formation within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He is tentatively hoping that by March or April it will be completely edited and ready for distribution. He still needs some help with financing this project. If you are convicted of the importance of the project and wish to make a donation that would be very helpful right now. Aaron’s personal out-of-pocket expenses are now well over $15,000. His address is P.O. Box 751270, Dayton OH 45475. Tax deductible contributions should be made out to God’s Covenant Ministries.

Ministers are to be the spiritual guardians of God’s church. This is why you will find posted on this site a review of the iFollow lesson on meditation. If our members practiced what is taught in this lesson, they would be involving themselves in spiritualism; and if we kept silent to avoid polarization, God would require at our hands the blood of those who would lose their way on account of this deception of the enemy.

The August, 2012 issue of Ministry speaks against the use of these unbiblical methods that this site is addressing.

A panel discussion on the topic of Spiritual Formation took place recently at ASI.

A documentary regarding the dangers of Spiritual Formation will soon be available.

“Christ’s ministers are the spiritual guardians of the people entrusted to their care. Their work has been likened to that of watchmen. In ancient times sentinels were often stationed on the walls of cities, where, from points of vantage, they could overlook important posts to be guarded, and give warning of the approach of an enemy. Upon their faithfulness depended the safety of all within. At stated intervals they were required to call to one another, to make sure that all were awake and that no harm had befallen any. The cry of good cheer or of warning was borne from one to another, each repeating the call till it echoed round the city. {AA 360.3}

“To every minister the Lord declares: “O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at My mouth, and warn them from Me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, . . . thou hast delivered thy soul.” Ezekiel 33:7-9. {AA 360.4}

“The words of the prophet declare the solemn responsibility of those who are appointed as guardians of the church of God, stewards of the mysteries of God. They are to stand as watchmen on the walls of Zion, to sound the note of alarm at the approach of the enemy. Souls are in danger of falling under temptation, and they will perish unless God’s ministers are faithful to their trust. If for any reason their spiritual senses become so benumbed that they are unable to discern danger, and through their failure to give warning the people perish, God will require at their hands the blood of those who are lost.” {AA 361.1}
