A.A. HIGHER POWER PRAYED TO AT PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL EVENT – Unrepentant homosexual Gene Robinson, an Episcopal Bishop, gave an intentionally Christ-less invocation at one of the Presidential inaugural events. A recovering alcoholic, Robinson prayed instead to A.A.’s higher power, the “god of our many understandings.” http://www.worldviewtimes.com/article.php/articleid-4489/Brannon-Howse/John-Lanagan

Missionaries Into Darkest Alcoholics Anonymous- In their churches on Sunday they call God by that Name above all names: Jesus Christ the Savior. But in Alcoholics Anonymous, the Christians call Jesus by the term all members use for their various gods. So Jesus becomes a “higher power.” Thus has the Savior been placed in the pantheon, the temple of the gods. http://www.worldviewtimes.com/article.php/articleid-3574/Brannon-Howse/John-Lanagan

Eric Barger Testimony

Drugs. Sex. Rock and roll. Salvation instead of damnation. Eric Barger’s testimony glorifies the Lord. Eric speaks in churches all around the country, warning about things like The Shack. I know the many readers of this blog (all seven of you) will appreciate what the Lord has done. Be encouraged! Eric’s testimony: http://www.ericbarger.com/rock.html

(And the A.A. articles are just below…)

The Shack “god” is the A.A. “higher power”

Bluntly stated, the god of The Shack is essentially the A.A. higher power with a Christian veneer.

It is all blending together. The universalism of Alcoholics Anonymous goes hand in hand with the universalism found (but denied) in The Shack.

“The author of The Shack has essentially applied A.A.’s higher power concept to the God of the Bible. As if taking scissors to the Word of God, William Young has cut out and removed His righteousness, judgment, wrath, holiness, and much else. He has piled on grace, love, forgiveness, and kindness-and who, after all, does not want to hear about these things? The author has remade the Biblical God the Father into a goddess seemingly out of one of the ancient pagan religions. This, in a time of spiritual and cultural breakdown, attracts the world.”
