The majority of these names are nothing but mouthpieces for the devil; they are agents for the devil. They are running a Ponzi Scheme, robbing the desperate, the lonely, the isolated, and the ignorant. They are promising you the very things that the unregenerate heart and the flesh already desire. Do you know what does not show up in the list of desires that they promote? Brokenness, humility, penitence, sacrifice, unselfishness, virtue, love, holiness, worship, Heaven. Why would they promote Christ-likeness when they can promote worldly desires like fame and fortune? Paul's letter to the Corinthians acknowledged that Satan appears as an angel of light and his agents disguise themselves as ministers of light. This should not be a surprise to us. Yet, many professing Christians lack any degree of discernment and think that anyone who names the name of Jesus must belong to Him. If only they spent more time in the Word, especially the New Testament, and less time doing whatever else they waste their time with; the idols they have made more important in their lives than the Lord Jesus and His Word. Books like The Shack and The Secret teach utter heresy that opposes and contradicts the Word of God. They contain New Age elements among their various other errors and heresies, including heresies taught by Eckhart Tolle. If you follow Joel Osteen's book Your Best Life Now does not mention Jesus even once because Jesus is not part of that teaching. If you believe Osteen's theology, then this will be your best life, because the life to come will be Hell. Osteen teaches you to "eat, drink, and be merry." People who desire what he has to offer are not Christians. They are deceived, pursuing "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life." Avoid these men and women like the plague!
