A Religious Trojan Horse (Part 4)‏‏

Hello Friends!

 

Welcome back. Several well known Christian authors, speakers and pastors have appeared on a DVD that teaches the law of attraction and other new-age philosophies. How can the people appearing on this DVD titled, “The Source of the Secret”, claim we need to look behind the source of false teachings to Jesus Christ or to God? What Jesus or God are they talking about? It is certainly not the Jesus or God of the Bible...

 

The Source of the Secret

 

The message that came across to those of us that watched the DVD and read the transcript is that this "Christian" DVD claims the “Secret” is a positive thing and that people need to meet the “God” behind the law of attraction that was presented. Does this not reveal just how far the church and its leaders in America have sunk?

In I Kings 18:20-21 Elijah declared to the Children of Israel, who were seeking to follow God while also mixing their worship of God with pagan spirituality, that they must choose to whom they would pledge their allegiance. Elijah boldly asked the Israelites:

"How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him."

 Bob Harrison, "America's Increase Activist" appears on the DVD and proclaims:

“Knowing that millions of copies of the Secret book and video have been sold, and people have listened to it and read, I feel it is a positive thing because it can introduce them to the Law of Attraction, one of the principles that cause them to have greater success. But the danger is it's not going to take them far enough unless they learn the Source.”

 How can it be a positive thing that people are learning this false teaching? Never once within the DVD is the gospel of Jesus Christ presented. The message is simply that the source of the secret is God and that the original book and DVD the “Secret” did not go far enough. Shad Wehrli, Life Coach/Co-Creator of the "Source of The Secret" says:

“The source to ‘The Secret” is God and a relationship with Him. He is the source for everything. And that's when I saw the initial ‘Secret’. I saw that it was incomplete because it talked about the universe but not The One who created the universe, talked about creation, but not the Creator. And so, I saw that it was absolutely incomplete. The source is God. I mean, after all, the Law of Attraction sounds good, but how can you have a Law without a Lawgiver?”

 The narrator concludes the “The Source of the Secret” DVD by saying:

“The discovery of the Law of Attraction is just the beginning. The journey can and must go deeper. Be inspired to continue your own journey as you search for and discover the Source behind these laws. For when you seek, you will find. And, through this journey, come face-to-face with a loving God, the true Source of Life, Love, and all the good you have ever known.”

Friends, this concept of the "law of attraction" promoted by "Source of the Secret" is clearly nothing more than self-help, new-age, pagan spirituality mixed in with Christianity and is strictly forbidden in the Scriptures - period. You be the judge and discern for yourself...

Blessings on your success!
