The Secret

Loved Of THE LORD,

Well this has been a busy & exciting two weeks and running to catch up on many things including this Blog.

The Love of my life, who is The Wife of my youth and I were up in the Salt Lake City Area visiting love ones after a phenomenal 3 day business training & Writer's Conference. I will make reference to it soon, again time being a factor.

On returning to this love of writing I find a comment to the last post (Sunday, October 14, 2007) that make reference to The Secret and a couple other things that seem to fit right in here at this time.

Katch writes, “‘The Secret’ is a very clever commercialisation of the Law of Attraction. - “YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU FOCUS ON” is not a new phenomenon.”

I am reminded of the unjust steward of Luke 16 who was commended for being shrewd, V:8. There is nothing new under the Sun, Eccles. 1:9; and no doubt the world has access to The Truth of Scripture and Science with no restrictions to capitalizing on any of it. I think what is disappointing, is that The Church labels those very same truths, as 'New Age' (It is.) and will not have any part of the very same things that JESUS taught.

Katch continues, “For me The Secret and all that I researched and read following on from viewing this DVD has brought me back to my starting point as a Believer.”

AND ... The (Continuing) 'Good News' is that even a Secular Publication is used to speak to Believers on where they are at and where they are going. Even the 'Practiced' Truth will still lead to Hell, should The Blood not be appropriated by faith. Another sermon for another time. ;-)

Katch Quoting Phil.4:8, then saying, “There is so much in Scripture for us to take note of and practice in daily life which includes how we conduct ourselves in business and our working life.”

Yes, Phil. 4:8 was delivered to me many moons ago, as a Rx to good mental health, by a Precious Former Pastor of mine, and I am always still looking for 'The Good Report' to meditate on, in all things that HE places before me. So many portions of Scripture “Just” seem to come in focus at the appropriate time, which evidences and confirms The Holy Spirit’s direction and my awareness of being in HIS Presence.

Katch, “When you have written your review of Joel Osteen’s book “Your Best Life Now” have a read of the review on …”

No doubt someone(s) in 'The Traditional Church' has labeled Joel Osteen's teaching and writing, as something watered down &/or blasphemous when only looking at a minute portion of the total ministry.

I was told by a young brother yesterday that Joel Osteen did no teach on hell or homosexuality and was reminded that I was called on years ago for not making my first and foremost issue in introducing JESUS to someone that HE Was GOD. My response was, that to me it was more important to introduce my LORD as a friend and to Know that The Word Of God and The Holy Spirit were more than capable of revealing That Truth, as well as the needed others to a neophyte believer in due time and order, as HE saw fit. Joel probably has that same assurance and peace that GOD is calling The shots there too. After all something is going on for that Ministry to be the biggest in the US.

Nevertheless I appreciate any comments and in this case, … was apropos and content for this post. As always I am excited to hear what HE is doing in believer’s lives.
