Dead Men Talking—Necromancy in Today’s Church
By Warren B. Smith
Hardcopy booklet (also available as a Kindle Edition)
Product Description: In The Light That Was Dark, I describe how I was seduced into the New Age by a ball of light that suddenly manifested over my head in a psychic reading. I was told by the psychic that the ball of light had appeared to let me know I had a lot of help on the “other side.” When I asked what she meant by “the other side,” the first thing she told me was: “Family and loved ones who have passed away.” She added that “angels and other spirits” were also interested in helping me with my life. All I had to do was ask for their assistance. So I did. And the spirit world was more than willing as they seduced me further and further into spiritual deception—just as they had with William T. Stead, Helen Schucman, the Bergers, and countless others of us over the years. The amazing thing is that the Bible has thoroughly warned us about all this spiritual deception and how it will play out in these latter days.
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils" (1 Timothy 4:1)

Citations from Introduction
"Twelve months have now passed, in almost every week of which I have been cheered and comforted by messages from my boy, who is nearer and dearer to me than ever before." —William T. Stead, Titanic casualty, How I Know That the Dead Return (1909)
"Jim was comforted by Josiah’s visit, and it serves as proof that our son is not dead and gone, but merely moved to a different place to do other things for God." —Pastor Steve & Sarah Berger, Have Heart (2010)

Warning about Necromancy in the Church
"In 2010, Steve Berger, founding pastor of the Grace Chapel megachurch in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee, wrote a book with his wife Sarah titled Have Heart: Bridging the Gulf Between Heaven and Earth. The book described how they claim to be in spiritual contact with their deceased son Josiah. And like Titanic’s William Stead, the Bergers, as professing Christians, were attempting to justify and normalize the practice of interacting with the dead." —Warren B. Smith

Spiritual Research Network, LLC, is an independent Christian outreach committed first and foremost to the Lord Jesus Christ and the integrity of His Word. The Spiritual Research Network (SRN) outreach (apologetics and discernment website) aims to help equip the Church, encourage biblical discernment, and evangelize the lost.

DONATIONS to my research and work are sincerely appreciated. They help tremendously keep our websites online. Thank you very much for your contribution.
The Chris Lawson SRN bookstore offers crucial research on pressing Church issues. Its resources will help you discern truth and error in today's confusing spiritual landscape. For further documentation and resources, visit my social media accounts and three biblical discernment theology websites, SpiritJournaling.com, DangersOfYoga.com, and SpiritualResearchNetwork.org.
The SpiritJournaling.com website, in particular, serves a vital purpose by exposing and warning against the dangers of occult/spiritistic practices in the world and the Church. This website will help you know the spiritual hazards of the Jesus Calling Series and how to stand against this dangerous threat. It will also help you not be misled by the massive onslaught of unbiblical, occult, telepathic, sensory-oriented "messages" from unbiblical spiritual entities that masquerade as "Jesus." The "Jesus" of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling Series is one of these dangerous spiritistic false Christ deceptions. The proof is in her writings.
Sadly, the 45 million-plus readers of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling devotional series have no idea that 50 Occult training principles are embedded throughout the Series. Brenna E. Scott's eight-year book research project reveals these principles in Sarah Young's books. At SpiritJournaling.com, Brenna's book can be read online for FREE. Hard copies can be obtained from our store. Click Christian Journaling or Psychic Channeling?: A Critical Comparison of the Jesus Calling Series with Occult Training Literature.
Some of the more glaring examples of dangerous occult influences entering the Church are "Christianized" versions of psychic methodologies, such as telepathy, clairaudience, clairsentience, and even necromancy (communicating with the dead). One such example can be found in the first chapter of Warren B. Smith's book, The Titanic and Today's Church—A Tale of Two Shipwrecks. This chapter warns about a variation of necromancy that Pastor Steve Berger and his wife Sarah have been promoting for many years. See these two booklets, Dead Men Talking: Necromancy In Today's Church and Promise Keepers, Steve Berger, and the Dangerous Implications of Ignoring Necromancy in the Church.
I hope the products in my bookstore will inspire and motivate you to stand firm in God's truth as you trust Him and share His gospel of hope and salvation with others.
