The true Jesus Christ teaches that God—in the Person of the Holy Spirit—is sent to indwell all those who truly believe and follow Him (John 14:23). But He never taught, nor would He ever teach, that He is “in” everyone and everything—that He is “in all.” Psalm 39:5 makes it abundantly clear that “every man at his best state is altogether vanity.” Some of the many other Bible verses that refute this false teaching that God is “in all” include Ezekiel 28:2, Galatians 6:3, Psalm 9:20, Isaiah 31:3, Romans 1:21-23, 25 and John 2:24-25.

Mark Schoenwald, president and CEO of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, said in a press release that it was “a joy and an honor to have Sarah Young as part of our publishing family.” We have few biblical examples of men/women in the actual “Presence of God” but ALL of them describe the person in a most humbled state, perhaps even realizing their own sins more than the glory of God. There is no account of any of these people going about bragging about their “encounter with God”, no account of any of these people encouraging others to seek a similar “experience”, and no account of these people degrading others for not have a similar experience (but this is another of the ‘undertones’ of all those who push their listeners to seek the same nonsense). We do find accounts of Peter and Paul giving a brief summary of their experiences but neither lent itself to bragging, only what was necessary at the time for their hearers. Peter, James and John obeyed Christ and kept their mouth shut after seeing Him in His glory on the Mount of Transfiguration.

My Presence with you is both a promise and a protection. My final statement just before I ascended into heaven was: Surely I am with you always. That promise was for all of My followers, without exception.23 (emphasis added) Young didn’t think her writing was inspired by God—and was certainly not inerrant—yet she didn’t think it was just a creative writing project, either. Writing from God’s perspective wasn’t conceived as a rhetorical device. She thought of her journals as a testament to God’s Presence. Warren B.

She formerly served alongside her husband as a missionary in Japan and Australia through Mission to the World, which is the official mission board for the Presbyterian Church in America.

After these unbiblical statements in the original Jesus Calling were publicized in 2013,19 Sarah Young’s “Jesus” changed the wording of his two statements in a special Jesus Calling, 10th Anniversary Edition published in 2014.20 Compare the original January 28th and October 15th “messages” that had been in Jesus Calling since 2004, with the replacement words that were inserted into the 10th anniversary edition in 2014. Notice how the two phrases “These were the last words I spoke” and “My final statement” have been removed and “after My resurrection” has been inserted in their place. In no way does she believe her own writing is sacred or that she has new revelations,” one told The New York Times. “I feel like she’s tried to be pretty clear about that in her book introductions.” By the way, “flustrated” isn’t a typo; it’s a favorite word that my friend Julie came up with quite by accident. Very fitting when trying to share problematic red flags without going to God’s Word and using Scripture. We should never attempt to do that! Kathy Keller, assistant director of communications for the New York City PCA church where her husband, Tim, was the lead pastor, wrote a review explaining why Redeemer would not sell Jesus Calling at its book table, even though lots of people asked for it.Maybe when doing research for the truth they should start with the actual source from which they are researching actually comes. Because of this I do not consider Berean Research a credible source for truth.
