Buyer Beware on "The Shack" Part 4

Thursday, August 28, 2008

Jan and guests, Eric Barger and Pastor Larry DeBruyn, look at the issue of the best-selling "Christian" book, soon to be a movie, "The Shack." The book is not just connecting with post-moderns, but with people of all ages in spite of its reinvention of Christianity. This may be one of the greatest last-days' deception of our day.

Could the Emergent Church Sway the 2008 Election?

The President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Albert Mohler, isn't surprised that many young evangelicals are moving to the left politically. He states, "There is a sense among younger evangelicals that the conservative movement has gained a bad reputation as being against things rather than for them." Mohler continues, "I think the younger generation of evangelicals looks at a lot of older evangelicals and says, 'You just don't get it. You're not connecting with the issues. You're too happy, too consumerist, and too materialistic. You're living in an evangelical subculture.'" View Full Article

The Seductive and Subversive "Shack"

Many have asked me to comment on William P. Young's ragingly popular book The Shack. Is this work of fiction really Christian? It is called by some as one of Christianity's most influential books. One prominent endorser says it will "leave you craving for God."

Yet people I respect highly, including Dr. Albert Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Seminary, calls it "undiluted heresy." He maintains there is no way it can seriously address the issues of Christian faith. View Full Article
