***********
Friday, August 1 marked our Fifteenth Anniversary in
ministry. God has been gracious to us through all the various trials. We
give thanks to HIM, our family and a small handful of faithful supporters
for continuing with the vision to see a church established and leadership
discipled among every unreached Buddhist people group.
This morning,
as I was praying, I continued to ask the LORD what He wants us to do to fulfill
the calling we received fifteen years ago. The first thing I saw were two
beautiful yellow butterflies flying through the emerald green trees. My
wife
and I often enjoy watching them as we identify with the painful
metamorphosis from lowly worm to the glorious multicolored flying monarch
butterfly. I am especially grateful for having a loving and gifted companion on
this journey, my bride. This past February 18 we celebrated 25
years of marriage.
As I walked towards the door of my office, I
saw a glistening spiderweb. As I examined it more closely, I saw a myriad of
microscopic insects that this web had captured, along with a mosquito. I admired
the intricate, well-ordered design and wondered in amazement on how the spider
strung such long guide wire type supports from several points that seemed an
insurmountable distance from any visible conveyance. I marveled as the web
reflected the rays of the sun like a beautiful glistening rainbow of fire. I was
mesmerized and lost in the wondrous beauty of God's creation.
Now,
I am not one to usually admire spiderwebs. I don't care for their weaver, but
fortunately the spider was nowhere to be found. But, this morning the LORD
showed me something from His creation that He wanted me to see. The LORD
encourages us to study His creation. Remember when He said 'You sluggard study
the ant, watch how he works with no commander and lays up his stores for the
winter.' Now, here is this marvelous example blowing ever so slightly in the
breeze. You lose yourself --- marveling in His creation. You don't think about
your bills, the stresses of your job. He is teaching you, because all of His
creation is breathing, singing, chirping---this is His handiwork. Is this
worship? Not of creation, but of the Maker of it all?
But you might
say, "we are adults, we don't have time for this nonsense!" I say, "What a
shame." The thing I love about children is their sense of wonder. Do you
remember when you were last awed by something you saw in creation? This spring,
I took a screenwriting class on Saturday mornings and was engaged in writing an
adaptation of a novel that draws from my own experience growing up in the
countryside of Montana. I clearly recall the first time I witnessed the mystery
of disappearing streams and then hearing my voice echoed back to me on a placid
Loon Lake. These are experiences of God's mysteries that we are loosing today as
we are hooked into the media matrix.
So, what's the point? Well,
I read alot of articles on a variety of subjects. Much is just pop journalism,
regurgitating whatever they've happened to read or hear somewhere else. More and
more, most books have lost their appeal to me, except for a precious few, like
the Word of God, and commentaries written by those who have been through the
fire, or novelists like George MacDonald who share the mystery of life and their
love of God. Unfortunately, most books today, like the media are a poor
substitute for active engagement in life. When I observed the spiderweb, I
thought of how it functions like a fishing net to catch its food. That has been
a problem to us as we find ourselves spread so thin. And yet, there are many
people who are looking for information that we have collected that may be of
major service to people. The spider worked hard constructing the web, but it was
nowhere to be found at that moment.
According to a Pew Charitable
Trust Study of Religion on the Internet, there are over 28,000,000 religious
surfers looking for spiritual information. If we focus on our area of
expertise--Buddhism and Christianity--then we will be able to perform an
important service to those spiritual seekers who may find the God of Abraham,
Jacob and Issac on our site. That they may meet Jesus Christ as did Kristine. I
love the LORD, he is the Great Fisherman and Bridegroom.
When Paul
who is a Christian was dating Kristine, he found out she was a Buddhist.
Searching on the Internet he found our testimony, and called me up. Shortly
afterwards we met for lunch and talked about his desire for Kristine to know
Jesus. We prayed and again met along with Kristine. We talked for another hour
about my pilgrimage to Jesus Christ. Well, long story short, Kristine made the
decision to give her life to Christ. We joyfully attended their wedding last
October.
The web is no substitute for relationship, but served as a
tool that God happened to use along the way. We now rejoice that some Buddhists
have ordered Bibles from us, while others have begun communicating with us about
their unique journeys. Christians have asked many questions about Buddhism,
while others have criticized our perspective. All of it is part of the amazing
journey of faith.
The Need for A Great Awakening
As
we look at the body of work that has been built and collected over the years, we
ask, why has the Church continued to turn a deaf ear to the cries of the
Buddhist world? Yes, there have been some bright moments, but they have been few
and far between. We need a revival, a true awakening!
I have been
reading sermons delivered by John Owen [1616-1683] on the Nature of a Gospel
Church. Owen was called to preach to the Parliament after the execution of
Charles I and as a Chaplain to Scotland and Ireland by Cromwell during the
English Civil War. He was among the most famous Dissenters who helped distribute
money to "impoverished ejected ministers." I have been particularly attracted
to two sermons:
1) National Sins and National Judgments based upon
Isa. 3:8-9. "For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue
and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory. The
show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin
as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil
unto themselves."
In it he speaks of the signs of God's national
judgment shown through, "God's taking from us so many faithful labourers in the
dispensation of the gospel, in the midst of their days and strength..and in
driving the remnant of his faithful ministers,, many of them, into corners where
they are not able to serve the interest of Christ and the nation by promoting
and furthering its return unto God."
Here he also calls for us to
"prepare to meet the Lord in the way of his judgments. God is righteous in all
his ways, when he shall bring the scourge upon the nation." Many of God's
choice men and women are now passing, such as Bill Bright and Larry Burkett.
Others are being moved to other areas, and many lack even the means for their
daily life. I struggle even today to meet my rent as a consequence of the
resultant consequence of the defamation we suffered from the USCWM in 1997 and
the tremendous damage to us as a family financially. We still stand upon I
Corinthians 9:6 and entrust ourselves to the LORD's vindication. We live from
day to day on the raven's food, our struggle unapparent to others. Our fifteen
year celebration was with our family and the LORD, alone.
2) The most
disturbingly real sermon was, "The Furnace of Divine Wrath" based upon
Ezekiel 22:17-22 wherein God gathered the house of Israel into Jerusalem to be
purified in His furnace for silver.
"When there is an universal
corruption of the ways and walkings of all sorts of men, and the whole body of
the people, then God sets up his furnace." The fires of late are only a
sampling.
"When all endeavors fail, warnings fail, chastisements
fail, preaching of the word fails, and the silver is not separated from the
dross; when men can scarce, professors can scarce bear to be warned; when they
can think of others' sins, but will not think of their own; when they will do
nothing towards reformation, but say they shall have peace,--let what will come,
one way or other they shall have peace;--there is no way but we must all into
the same furnace; nothing else will do."
Owen said in a kind of
allusion that at the time of national judgment, 'God has called out workmen to
set up a furnace. Who are these workmen that God calls out? Men of violence,
treachery, and folly. Even the wicked for the day of judgment. If we do not
repent as a nation and keep sinking into greater and more conspicious sin, then
it will not be a furnace, but Owen states, "tremble to think that there seems to
me no dispensation remaining but the oven, but that which shall consume,
and leave neither root nor branch.
"The substance of all is,
brethren, that there is a woful and a wicked corruption and profaneness of life
grown upon the generality of the nation, ---that there is such an adherence to
the world and the ways of the world among professors, that the former means have
not separated them from the world ....--that we seem all to be ready, unless
God relieve in infinite mercy, to be brought into the same furnace; which is
under a testimony of God's displeasure."
I have come to the
understanding that historically Israel was abandoned by God because of her
detestable practices and defilement of the land through worshipping idols. It
was only when the Kings and Prophets cleansed the land and confessed their sin
of worshipping false gods that God restored the people and again fellowshipped
with them. We do not live in historic Israel and so iconoclasm is no longer in
keeping with the pluralism of our day. But, what of our lives? Are they free
from the idolatry of pornography? My son Eric works in a computer firm that
deals with computer billing issues. Do you know what the number one business is?
Online Pornography. Billions of dollars worth. He said it is a tragedy and
apalling now to know how many men are purchasing it.
So you don't
buy idols. What I do know is that we all struggle with it to one degree or
another if you live in America. I got rid of mine when as a Buddhist/New Ager I
started working with some Christian men who loved their wives with true
fidelity. Shortly afterwards, I gave my life to Jesus Christ and experienced
true freedom and continuing sanctification in this area of my life. I have been
shocked though over the years to find so many Christians struggling with this
addiction. Some of you are on Boards of Christian organizations to your shame.
I recall moving into the US Center for World Mission many years ago
and was offered a large house on Hill Avenue to rent which was formerly occupied
by YWAM. When I went to check it out I found boxes and boxes in the basement of
pornographic videos. I was shocked and called their housing director Jim Gaus
who had it carted away and ordered it destroyed.
Later, when I
approached the Executive Director of the USCWM, Greg Parsons, I asked him to
Biblically confront YWAM. A year passed and one day I awoke and the LORD spoke
to me and said, "Talk to Greg. He has not yet spoken to YWAM." As I walked down
the street, I ran into him and told him what the LORD Jesus had laid on my heart
to tell him. He confessed he had not talked to them. He never reported to me as
I asked if he confronted the leaders of YWAM. Greg have you yet dealt with this
sin? Obey with our whole heart what God has called us to be, holy like Him.
So here we are years later, people saying we
can't support you, the economy has been bad, etc. etc. etc. But, people still
have the funds to spend on pornography, peep shows, vain entertainment and
second and third homes. I really don't buy the excuses, there are so many, nor
does the LORD. Now I am going to share something with you that is about to
demonstrate the kindling being brought into fire God's furnace in Ameica. Some
have to do with the worst forms of spiritual adultery, the tantric rituals of
Tibetan Buddhism.
"He who hears the sound of the trumpet and
does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be
on his own head."
---Ezekiel
33:4
In my own field of study as a gatekeeper, I have been immensely
grieved as we have mapped out the locations of over 300 sand mandalas
(which are temporary sand paintings done by monks for the purposes of
staking out physical and spiritual authority over the land) that have been built
across America where myriads of demons have been invoked by Tibetan priests
(lamas) everywhere from Tower One (1994) to the Smithsonian, to UCLA. Many have
been financed by Richard Gere's Foundation (Your tickets to Chicago and my
ticket to Red Corner) and also by the National Endowment to the Humanities.
Further fueling this defilement of the land are over 254 "World
Peace Vases" which are Tantric vases "blessed" by Tibetan Buddhist monks in
Bhutan that have been buried in every state capitol, national park, high
mountain peak, Great Lake, and major river in the US. Tantric rituals are
occultic practices that manipulate sexual and spiritual energy to build power in
an individual for his/her enlightenment. Tantric substances are too detestable
to mention in public. We are the only country on earth that presently has
the"distinction" of being completely mapped with the vases. One Orthodox
Ukrainian Christian environmentalist questioned the legality of burying anything
in a National or State Park.
Currently Buddhism is being marketed to
such a high degree that even Buddhists parody the Madison Avenue hype
surrounding the Buddhist boom. Buddha books are big business, while magazines
are a lucrative cottage industry supported by pages and pages of advertisements
marketing everything from retreats, national conferences, the reincarnation of
tea, salad dressings, Buddha beads, sneakers to smiling Tibetan lamas opening
Toshiba laptops on the "rooftop of the world." Huge billboards along LA freeways
featured the smiling image of the Dalai Lama advertising Apple's "Think
Different," while the "Simpson's," a primetime cartoon program parodying
American culture, focused on little Lisa's conversion to Tibetan Buddhism on
their Christmas special.
My interest in the power of media and its
negative influence led me to reading The Religion of the Force, which
talked about the movie The Empire Strikes Back, which Director Irving
Kirschner said was designed to introduce Zen Buddhism to Children. Yoda, the
Jedi's teacher was none other than the proverbial Zen master. The movies
What's Love Got to Do With It?(about Tina Turner's life and turn to
Buddhism), Kundun, Seven Years in Tibet, Tomb Raider, Bulletproof Monk, and
on and on blatantly promote Buddhism as the way to true happiness. Indeed,
today's celebrities are America's gurus. If you are not teaching your children,
the media is.
Three years ago, a consortium of art museums,
scholars, performers, artists, and cultural communities and critics met at the
Snug Harbor Cultural Center in New York to begin planning a major collaborative
art project called The Buddhism Project. By the spring of 2000, the West
Coast component decided to independently pursue its own goals and established
Awake: Art, Buddhism, and the Dimensions of Consciousness. Its stated
objective is to "explore the relationships between Buddhist practice and art
practice in America" and will reveal through a planned series of exhibits, film
festivals, and lectures "the threads of Buddhist influence that run through the
fabric of contemporary culture and the potential for satisfying aesthetic
experience engendered by an open, aware state of mind."
Funded by
the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the
James Irvine Foundation, Rubin Foundation, Awake is now comprised of fifty
institutions and individuals, many who openly are Buddhist practitioners,
artists and priests, who will be seriously promoting a pro-Buddhist agenda at
over 60 major exhibitions across America from January 2003 until
2005.
This August, the Awake Program, not to be confused with
the Jehovah Witness magazine, along with the Buddhist Project out of New
York will commence for two years to promote Buddhist arts and meditation
at over 60 venues across America including many prestigious universities and
museums, e.g., Stanford, UCLA, University of Washington, Bronx Museum of Art,
Guggenheim, The Japan Society, The Korea Society, Long Island University, UC
Berkeley, University of Chicago,Seattle Art Museum,Yerba Buena Center. Their
curriculum development program will promote meditation exclusively based upon
Buddhist practice and art to the ninth grade.
A similar program
we observed in the past on a far smaller scale gives us a glimpse of what will
be upcoming. During the International Year of Tibet in 1991 there was a host of
art museums throughout the United States which sponsored exhibits of Tibetan
objects of worship, wherein we saw idolatry camouflaged and lifted up as fine
art. Personally, I observed Tibetan monks at the Pacific Asia Museum in
Pasadena teaching young impressionable American children how to make religious
sand paintings. Obviously, the children were altogether unaware of the deeper
significance of the mandala which is designed according to a Tantric ritual
ceremony as a temporary home to 722 deities (we call them demons).
It visually demonstrated the dangerous seduction of idolatry
utilizing the arts that the late Dr. Mas Toyotomi, a missionary with Japanese
Evangelical Mission Society in Little Tokyo, wrote of::
When
idolatry is camouflaged in fine art, three things happen:
1) The intellectuals come to respect, accept
and appreciate it and idolatry becomes tolerated in the upper class.
2)
Money becomes available for ever growing idolatry. Wealthy patrons will sponsor
creation of idols in the name of culture.
3) The masses are encouraged to
indulge in idolatry since the last two factors has made idolatry respectable and
idols abundant.
"Consequently, not even
Christians today are seeing idolatry as the most grievous sin that can be
committed by man. Because there is practically no preaching against idolatry in
America, they are vulnerable to the temptations of modern, sophisticated
idolatry."
Why Now? Imagine
living two years prior to the opening of Mecca, the Islamic holy site
where six million devout Muslims annually make a pilgrimage once in their
lifetime. In 2005, the $200,000,000 Maitreya Project, the Buddhist
equivalent to Mecca is slated to be completed in Bodh Gaya, India in the state
of Bihar. The statue of Maitreya (Future Messiah) Buddha is 500' tall and will
house over two million Buddhist idols. My daughter Alicia reminded me, "Dad,
they showed that our Statue of Liberty only comes up to the knee of the Buddhist
Statue. It symbolically towers over liberty and freedom and all that our Statue
of Liberty represents that is good, freedom and justice." Indeed, it is tragic
that idolatry is being exalted anywhere. This is to be the seat of the Adi
Buddha, the universal Ruler of Buddhism.
Many new temples,
schools, hospitals, hotels, and facilities are being constructed for this
arising global Buddhist center where millions of Buddhists and spiritual seekers
will make a pilgrimage to where the Siddartha Buddha achieved enlightenment.
Awake and The Buddhism Project have undoubtedly been scheduled to
dovetail to assist in raising awareness and funds for the Maitreya
Project which will be completed in 2005.
Two books are being
produced to "disseminate the results of Awake research and provide new ways to
perceive and interpret the art of the present and of the recent past." In the
Space of Art: Buddha Mind and the Culture of Now and Smile of the
Buddha: Influences in Western Art from Monet to the Present will highlight
the Buddhist perspectives of twenty artists from Europe and America.
One of the major platforms is the San Francisco-Los Angeles Corridor
where over 28 exhibits will be staged at museums and universities. The
Circle of Bliss: Buddhist Meditational Art at the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art beginning October 5, 2003 and running through January 4, 2004 is
designed to "offer a clear experience of providing a vivid guide through the
stages of meditation." This Tantric exhibit closely parallels the $6 ½ million
Smithsonian Exhibit which hosted "Tibet Land Beyond the Snows" on the National
Mall in Washington, D.C. during the summer of 2000 viewed by over 2 million
tourists. The pornographic nature of Tibetan Tantric Art is very troubling as we
witnessed many young children walking through the site with their parents. My
preview of Tantric objects that will displayed in the exhibit catalogue from the
Huntington Archive are already very disturbing to behold.
The
tragedy is that the same Kalachakra Sand mandala that is being
built at the L.A. County Museum of Art for this exhibit and that Tibetan
Buddhists profess brings peace, was one and the same that was built in Tower
One previous to 9-11 in 1994 by Ngawang Chojor, a member of the order of the
Namgyal, the Dalai Lama's personal monastery. Even the Trimondi's who are the
authors of The Shadow of the Dalai Lama have linked the building
of this mandala to destruction.
If our previous experience of
watching busloads of children attend the Shi-Tro Mandala (a permanent
three dimensional model of a mandala, a Tibetan spiritual temple to Buddhist
gods) at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena during the Cosmos Exhibit is
any measuring stick, we anticipate that the exhibit will be attended by
busloads of children from the Los Angeles Unified School District over the
Exhibits scheduled stay at LACMA.
This fall beginning on
October 19, Pacific Asia Museum will host a showing of The White Beryl Sutra
which the Tibetan Shaman chants when channeling spirits for giving guidance
to Tibetan lamas and the Dalai Lama who consults the Nechung Oracle, who to this
day is inhabited by demonic spirits (portrayed in the movie "Kundun" about the
life of the Dalai Lama).
At Bowers Museum of Cultural Art in Santa
Ana, California on Sunday October 12, 2003 Tibet! Treasures from the Roof of
the World will open displaying for the first time in Western history, "rare
and sacred treasures of Tibet" from the Dalai Lama's summer and winter palaces.
"They are objects that are at the center of myths and legends in the 1,000 room
Potala Palace, which was built in the 1600's by the fifth Dalai Lama." Many of
these occultic objects are made out of skulls, thigh bones, etc., an abomination
to God. After the exhibit closes in May 2004, it will embark on a national
tour.
The following sampling gives one a taste of what is coming this

What will be our answer to the blatant
idolatry that is being funded by your tax dollars in museums and universities
across the nation? Prayer is a given. What should be our
response? We are called to protect our children from the onslaught in the
schools. The Awake Project is also developing a curriculum on
meditation based exclusively on Buddhist art and practices for introduction into
the ninth grade. The message to Christians all across America is indeed, AWAKE
from your slumber!
If we would wake up we'd also see that Open
Court Publishers, founded by Paul Carus the author of the Gospel
According to Buddha and also the History of the Devil, is now the
textbook of choice in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Sometime ago, I
asked one of their staff if they were still promoting Buddhism and they said,
their textbook sales fund Buddhist monks in California who are translating Asian
Buddhist texts into English.
God warns us that He abandoned Israel
because it was filled "with idols" and "influences from the
east." Rather than serving God and loving Him, they "mingled with the nations
and learned their practices" which were detestable to the Lord, so the Lord then
"gave them into the hand of the nations; and those who hated them ruled over
them" (Psalm 106"40b NASV).
Most troubling to me is the lack of
spiritual discernment in the Churches of America. Recently, I spoke with Dr.
Charles Kraft hoping to get some perspective on why our road in ministry has
been so difficult spiritually. To paraphrase what he basically laid out, 'First,
the Church lacks spiritual discernment, they have bought into the Greek lie that
knowledge is all we need. Secondly, everyone is promoting their own agenda.
Thirdly, the Church has become secularized and does not seek to be relationally
involved with the LORD Jesus Christ, nor with one another." I can't say that I
was encouraged by his prognosis. He didn't have much faith in the academic
system he is a part of except the training of a few that understood.
Several years ago in Colorado Springs, I was speaking at a Prayer
Consultation and I asked the question, "Who opened the door in
America to Buddhism?" The final consensus was that the door was
opened our nations original and ongoing abuse of Native Americans who are the
host nation. The land is being defiled by more than Buddhist idols and vases,
but also by our secular humanism, secularized Christiainity, and blatant
capitalism which is why certain groups are rising up in direct opposition to the
rape of the land God has given us to steward.
Secondly, because of
America's embrace of Freemasonry, a Babylonian occultism
mixed with Christianity, Buddhism, etc. I was also warned by a high level
intercessor that many of the Christian organizations in Colorado Springs have
Masons on their Boards. Why? If we do not see Freemasonry as it really is, as a
door into hell and for its underground alliances with Buddhism, then judgment
will only accelerate in the nation. I think God is waiting for us to openly
repent of our sinful alliances with false gods and ideologies. We may not be
able to destroy idols in our land, but we can and will destroy them in our
heart.
When the Dalai Lama last came to Pasadena to deliver a talk
at the "Distinguished Speakers Series" on "Ethics for the New Millennium" there
were Tibetan prayer flags drapped across the Mason Lodge. The Lodge has become a
house for New Age/Buddhist exhibits. When I was a Buddhist for fourteen years
prior to giving my life to Jesus Christ as my LORD, only Savior and GOD, I liked
the fact that the original Buddha didn't like the idolatry of Hinduism. I am
sure that the original Siddhartha today would turn over in his grave if he saw
all of the money wasted on idols in his image. And many are buying this garbage
for their homes! I burned all of mine. I am sure that if Buddha
knew Jesus, he would of laid down his life and followed Him. I have. He
is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
On September 4, the Dalai Lama
arrives in the US via San Francisco where he recieves an honorary doctorate from
the University of San Francisco. He then goes as the "man of peace" to
consecrete a Temple which is a "center for interfaith coperation and dialogue"
in Bloomington, Indiana. By the way, Pasadena was called the "Indiana Colony"
since so many moved out here. Many Masons founded the City to its shame! The
Buddhist pope today is the Dalai Lama and unbeknownst to 99% of Americans he
practices what is the darkest form of Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism. Most Americans
are simply oblivious to what his real agenda is.
The most grievous
thing to me though is the next stop on his tour, the National Cathedral in
Washington, D.C. where the Dalai Lama has been invited to participate in an
"interfaith event to observe the anniversary of September 11." Why?
If it is true that his real agenda is the establishment of a
"Shambhala Empire," a Buddhist empire through the Kalachakra initiations.
Americans are so welcoming, but so naive, to their own harm. Where are the
spiritual Gatekeepers of this nation? Arise! Speak!
Why is he being
invited to our nation's political heart and in a supposed National Cathedral?
This is one of the greatest provocations to God in whom we
trust. To invite a man who is revered as a god and king into our
homeland when we grieve to comfort us with his false gospel of peace? I say it
must be exposed or it will only further provoke our God and bring the downfall
of our nation spiritually and perhaps as it was founded "one nation under God."
Whom will you serve?
Grieving, and yet under His wings...
In Christ's refuge and strength
