The Shack........Nicely Packaged Heresy?

Have you read the best selling book The Shack? Many well intentioned folks have seeking to learn about “god” and themselves. I know and have heard that many Christians have dipped into The Shack as well, although I don’t understand why. I didn’t really need to hear a lot about the book in order to figure out that the book is straight up heresy and I would rather read something edifying and truthful. But that’s just my personal preference. I suppose I will just stick to my beloved bible.


Any way the reason why I have brought up the Shack is because it angers me! It never angered me before only today. Today I spoke with a poor, lost, and deceived soul who has just finished reading the book. Which it’s so interesting that she spoke to me today because I was praying for opportunities to proclaimed the truth of the gospel. So I was just asking her some questions about the book that she was just beaming about. And that’s the weird thing about the book when people finish reading it they just gloat over it and are completely taken by it. I was just trying to keep an even keel face as she went on and explained the jaw dropping heresy that she had just read and thought was true. She now feels like she learned so much about “god” from the book and is just so excited to know that “god” is love just like she always though he was and that every one is going to be with him some day, nothing to fear basically……..LIES! This book is now responsible for shaping her warped view of God. It made me mad and sad. As she was speaking to me I was now with great force slicing through thick plastic on the pallets with much aggression.


This woman was just on cloud nine and couldn't wait to tell me about The Shack because she knows that I’m “into” God stuff. So I had to gently and lovingly as possible break the news
to her that we are not all going to get into heaven because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, the way and gate are narrow only a few find it, God is just and will send people who don’t repent to hell, Jesus is God in the flesh and died for His own peoples sins. JESUS CHRIST is the only way! And by the way have you read your bible lately?
She didn’t really like that but at least it gave her something to think about and I pray that the Spirit will do a work in her because I would love her to be saved by His amazing grace that turns rebels into sons and heirs with Christ.

Baptisim.....How Sweet

Yesterday while I was listening to Revive our Hearts Nancy Leigh De moss was recounting the story of her own baptism as a little girl. Her story was so moving I found myself tearing up and praising the Lord. Now she wasn't brought in to be baptized by her parents, no. She under went the privilege of a believers baptism, at age five! Actually she wanted to get baptised at age 4, however the church had her wait a year to make sure that her conversion was genuine and not under some misguided influence.

I think it was biblical for this church to wait a year and patiently see if her conversion was of the Spirit and not the flesh. I'm sure that they were concerned knowing that as the church they are held accountable for her to some degree, and if they were to baptize her if her faith were not genuine and they didn't do all they could to test her profession, and she would walk around as a hypocrite the rest of her life. They would have some accountability in that. I wonder how many grown adults who live like the devil were mislead (in God's Providence) to believe that they are Christians simply because they were baptized as an adult or as a child. It breaks my heart for them because they are deceived and the church didn't do all that they could do to help them (all of course in God's Providence).

So she waited the year and then was baptised. I could just hear her little sweet 5 year old voice telling every one about how much the Lord loves her and she wants to live her life for Him, praise God! Praise God! How precious to have faith at sucha young age! The Lord had His hand on her in a very special way and has used her mightily to accomplish His will.

I pray that the Lord will save my future children, my family's children, and my friends and Church's children.

Does the Lord always save believers children. Well, I think its dangerous to presume upon His goodness and say, yes He most definitely does. I think usually it is His will. However maybe because He is so kind, longsuffering, abounding in goodness and delights to answer our prayers(even though our prayers have been answered before the foundations of the world, but prayer honors Him as God)very often He does save the children of those trusting in Jesus for their life. Not because He owes the parents anything for we are just clay and dust, and in Christ He loves us and it often pleases Him to bless us and fulfill His will through us.
