"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth." (Isaiah 62:1)

The Secret

The Secret is a number one bestseller in Australia, England, and Ireland, and is scheduled to be translated into 30 languages. There are now 5.3 million copies of the book in print in the United States and publisher Simon & Schuster reports that 150,000 copies are selling per week.

So, what is The Secret? The book is based on “the law of attraction,” which is the idea that our thoughts determine reality. In other words, the universe will rearrange itself in response to our thoughts and feelings. And according to the author, the law of attraction works every time, like the law of gravity.

Friends, it is difficult to imagine a message more contrary to the Bible than The Secret. There is nothing new in it but merely a repetition of the original lie—“You shall be like God.” The fact that so many Christians—and especially young people—have fallen for it is a reminder of the great task before us.
