BEWARE OF THIS BOOK
This is a perfect example of what the Lord meant when he said "Many shall come in my name..." BEWARE OF THIS BOOK!!!
Schools are distributing this book to children through the Scholastic Book Club. The name of the book is Conversations with God. James Dobson talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating. Two particular books are Conversations with God and Conversations with God for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, "Don't judge a book by its cover or title."
The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the "voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question, "Why am I a lesbian?" His answer is that she was 'born that way' because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences.
Another girls poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?" His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done nothing wrong."
Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply "I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive . There is no such thing as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another and this is wrong, because the rule is "'judge not lest ye be judged."
Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some instances quote (in error) the Word of God.
Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be sober and vigilant about teaching your children the Word of God, and guarding their exposure to worldly mediums, because our adversary, the Devil, roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, weakest and
YOUNGEST of its prey.
KEEPERS OF THE FAITH
We would like to invite you to join us at our Faith Family Minsitries, Keepers of the Faith Club. We meet on Wednesday nights at 5:30pm. We have a separate class for boys and girls. The Lord has placed on our hearts, a desire to see our young people grow into adults on fire for the Lord in and out of their homes. We hope to instill a love for the family and to be content in serving one another. We are including some information on the "Keepers" Clubs. Of course, you may want to start your own club, but we'd love to have you share in this wonderful experience with us. If you'd like to visit the "Keepers" website...the address is www.keepersofthefaith.com. Feel free to contact us for more information. May the Lord bless you as you are used to "train your children up, in the way they should go".
Offer your children a fun-filled Bible-based program that teaches God's view of men and women.
Parents love this program!
Children love this program!
Why not start today?
Keepers at Home and Contenders for the Faith Clubs are:
Bible-based and Christ-centered
Not specifically affiliated with any denomination
Totally affiliated with the Word of God
Clubs are autonomous (exempt from external influence)
What are these clubs?
Contenders for the Faith is currently for ages 6 through 14, although some groups are using it through age 16. Club meetings feature a group assembly time in which character lessons, as well as everything a Christian boy needs to learn to prepare him to be a man are taught. The remaining club meeting time is spent learning "hands on" skills. Achievement badges are awarded as the requirements for each skill are completed.
Keepers at Home is the program for girls covering ages 6 to 18. A group assembly time features singing, awards, and lessons to prepare the girls for their future roles as help meets, mothers, and keepers at home. The remaining time is spent on learning many crafts and practical skills. The younger girls work through the Keepers at Home Handbook and can earn beautiful achievement badges. Teens work through the Joy of Womanhood book and replicas, if desired, are available to be worn on a bracelet. The Joy of Womanhood is often used by mothers and daughters together. It is being enjoyed by women of all ages, even in Bible Studies and Sunday Schools. It is the first book in a series.
Who can use it?
CHURCH: Keepers of the Faith can be used by churches for their members as well as an outreach ministry to their communities. Boys enjoy making productive things. Girls love creating beautiful items. Each boy and girl represents a family which can be reached for the Lord. The program can be used on Sunday evenings before church, Wednesday evenings, visitation evenings, or Saturday mornings.
SUPPORT GROUP: Keepers of the Faith is an excellent addition to a home schooling program. Each parent contributes unique skills and all the children benefit. Keepers of the Faith believes in parents working with their children. It provides the structure to add so much beyond academics. It develops well rounded, godly men and women, the Christians of tomorrow.
FAMILY: This program is an absolute family builder! It is being used as effectively in a single family setting as any other. Dads and sons and moms and daughters are learning together, and enjoying it at the same time. This program is non-competitive. Competition can discourage creativity and even participation. This program rewards character, perseverance and achievement The real race is not to the swiftest.
Can it be used with other programs?
Absolutely! Keepers of the Faith will positively complement any other program or curriculum. If you are not using another program at present, you will find Keepers of the Faith quite comprehensive.
Why Keepers of the Faith programs?
More than ever before in the history of our country, there is a tremendous need to teach our young people to be keepers of the faith, the faith which God has given us through His Word and has been handed down to us through the diligence and courage of past generations. The need to endow our children with practical skills while incorporating Christianity in every facet of life has never been greater. We must be sure that our children develop abilities to deal with all the complexities of life in a society which will try their faith at every turn. This program will provide the tools and the structure for the Christian family and church to do so.
How is Keepers at Home and Contenders for the Faith different?
Why not step beyond a politically correct scouting program in which a Christian might not feel completely comfortable at activities, or with the materials furnished by a central committee? Are you tired of pretending to be neutral? Give your children a program that Jesus could join. These programs are specifically for Christians. They are designed to promote biblical values while teaching practical skills to produce capable, balanced Christian adults. Many programs stress Bible memory and good music, which are both excellent and necessary. The Keepers of the Faith program goes further to encourage biblical family values while developing a diversity of skills. The program, in a church, encourages the church and family to join hands in learning. Thus, church and the family grow stronger together.
WHAT IS NEEDED?
Each child needs a handbook to record progress on each of the seventy badges. A single handbook is used from age 6 through 14. For the adults, a Parents' Guide is available with scores of ideas, methods and teaching tips. For larger groups (five or more families), a Starter Kit contains all the necessary knowledge for anyone to easily organize a club. We give you the tools to organize the club to suit the needs of your individual group.
