The events of 2020 have had many of us experiencing extra stress and looking for ways to cope with the unanticipated changes in our lives. Some have turned to the practice of meditation to ease their anxiety. Some employers even encourage the practice as a means of reducing stress and increasing productivity.

However, with its origins in eastern mysticism and religions Christians would be wise to be wary of meditation and not go into it blindly, else we may be opening ourselves up to a false spirituality that could do us eternal harm.

While acknowledging that there's nothing inherently wrong with controlled self-calming techniques, Pastor Roloff boils the spiritual side of meditation down to one important question--what is your focus?--and then explains how Christians can regularly meditate on God and his Word.
