Christian Disciple-Making

Evangelism is a way of seeing the world through God's eyes. Arguably, the supreme business of the church is to carry out Christ’s great commission to preach the gospel and make disciples of every nation (see Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 9:37-38; 1 Timothy 2:4). Many great books have been written on the subject.

    "The Secret" This Book Tells Us We Can All Be Like God.

    This is the same lie Satan told to Eve. I have noticed some Christians really like this book. What should our attitude toward a book like this be. Is our place to warn others about it? If you will notice it has been advertised a lot on shelfari.

    Proverbs 27:5
    "Open rebuke is better than secret love"

    "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly, Satan deceived people, If we as Christians are not grounded by GOD's word, we might be one of them so we need to Soak GOD in prayers and petition everyday, night and day. It says in Matthew 16:10 "I'm sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as cunning as snakes but as innocent as doves.As GOD's children we are prone to Satan attacked but He never win over GOD, he is defeated at the cross of calvary. Its necessary to warm others about it.

    Blessings to ALL

    If we love them, and as our brothers and sisters we should, we would be open about what the book is truly about; materialism, 'I am god' mindthink, ect.

    We know what the Lord has told us about false doctrine and what brings people away from Him. If we see someone in Christ going towards another path which is against God then are we not obligated, out of love of the Lord and that person, to speak on it?

    I have vaguely heard of this book, for example in news items on the web, but not among my friends, and have not read it. It is not big in Australia.

    I haven't read this book, but my wife has. She said its bogus - nothing new, no real secret. The premise is, like the forbidden fruit, a lie.

    I was in a bookshop yesterday, and saw it marked right down. I haven't heard anyone talk about it, don't think it has made much of an impression in Australia.

    Jesus is truth. Only "truth" lasts on and on. Sinful people will get tired of trying to pull up their bootstaps by themselves and the book will also fade.
