Last Sunday, our church had a motivational speaker and x-pastor come in and tell us that through a secular support group of sex addicts, he is now able to control his sex addiction. He said he is not cured and never will be, but with the help of his non-Christian friends with whom he meets regularly, his sex addition no longer controls him. Overall Jesus Christ was left out of his message. God wasn't the answer. Man was and this x-pastor implored the congregation to seek supportive friends to help them with their addictions. He also made it clear he didn't find any of his supportive friends in church, and had to look elsewhere.
Sadly, God's Word was never quoted, and prayer was never offered to those suffering from the same addictions. I wanted desperately to tell him that even though I was happy he had supportive friends to help him in his continuing battle, he had a best friend who could end it! This is an example of how humanism can enter our churches and infiltrate into the minds of God's people. Grievously, at the end of the service, man was elevated and praised, and God was left lying on the floor underneath the people's feet.
"Then call on Me
when you are in trouble,
and I will rescue you,
and you will give Me glory."
Psalm 91:50 (NIV)
