Oprah's secret

I liked this post on Mohler's blog.
The post is called "it's all about you? The truth about the secret"

If you want to know how to respond to people talking about Oprah's secret. Check this out.
The problem with The Secret is that it focuses our hope selfward and not Godward. It is all about self-empowerment, self-fulfillment, and getting whatever we want.

Hi! I just ran across your site and I enjoyed that article so much! I like what Whitney had to say:

There's no mention of sin in The Secret. The cause of all the problems in the world and in our individual lives is merely bad thinking, specifically the failure to recognize and appropriately use the law of attraction. Therefore the solution to everything lies within us. And that, of course, eliminates the need for a Savior, a Substitute, or a Sacrifice. The cross and resurrection of Jesus become irrelevant.

I found your blog from Holly's site. Have a great day!

Hi Mandy

Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you have visited Holly to. I find her such a nice lady.

The Mohler site gave me better understanding of the "law of attraction". I had stopped by at another lady's site who tried hard to convince me that the Law of Attraction was biblical....but she never quite succeeded. Now I know why...yes I can be fooled, but not by something so unbiblical!
