If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church,
or if you have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please
take note of the information below and pass it a long to others.
Schools are distributing this book to children through the
Scholastic Book Club.
Beware of this book!
The name of the book is Conversations with God... It is devastating. Parents,
churches and Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass
this information on to church/e-mail addressees, Parents,
Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, friends.
Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV,
in movie theaters, on the internet, and the music they
listen to, but also be alert regarding the books they read.
Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations
with God for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless
enough by their titles alone. 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.
And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being
sold to schoolchildren through (The Scholastic Book Club), and
we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.
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.
Pass this on to every Believer you know. God bless! And, if you are
in doubt, check out the books yourself.
Original post By: A friend of a friend of my moms.
However, cuz the post interested me, I decided to do a little research of my own and I pulled a couple quotes to see where this false "prophet" got his inspiration. Here's a quote from his own website. "Neale's mother hardly ever went to church, and when he asked her why, she told Neale, "I don't have to go to church-God comes to me. He's with me and around me wherever I am." This view of God in his childhood would open Neale fully as an adult to transcend the traditional views of organized religion and bring to the world the message found in Conversations with God."
In another section of his bio, it explained his supposed divine conversation with God..."Neale says that he heard a voice, soft and kind, warm and loving, that gave him an answer to this and other questions. Awestruck and inspired, he quickly scribbled these responses onto the tablet.
More questions came, and, as fast as they occurred to him, answers were given in the same soft voice, which now seemed placed inside his head. Before he knew it, Neale found himself engaged in a two-way on-paper dialogue. He continued this first "conversation" for hours, and had many more in the weeks that followed, always awakening in the middle of the night and being drawn back to his legal pad. Neale's handwritten notes would later become the best-selling Conversations with God books."
Of course the bible makes it clear that God now speaks through HIS word and that by THAT word we will be judged. (John 12:48)
Anywhoo, just another day jotting down thangs and living life! Peace yawl,

Isaiah 43:18-19 18
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
My wife, Yolanda & I have been disciples of Christ for 13 years, and we’re so happy to be in a ministry that is active in sharing our faith, we’re devoted unswervingly to the scriptures, and we’re enjoying fellowship and “each other” times filled with salt. I have many friends in other churches that are still yearning for days of old, or to worship with friends from the past. Of course I’d love to see various friends that mean a lot to me, but God is doing so much now, and I only hope all disciples will get to feel that again! At GACC we’re making new friends. 
Almost every week there’s a new baptism, a new family, campus student, or single learning about God or visiting. We’re meeting dynamic & vibrant people from various races and backgrounds all streaming to the kingdom, the way Isaiah describes.
Isaiah 2:2
In the last days the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it..
It’s obvious that people are craving the word that is preached with authority and even more so being lived out in reality! I’m proud that the only disciples that are moving over to our ministry have been those who want total commitment, accountability and yearn to have more zeal for the Lord. I’ve also noticed that only people who have left our ministry unhappy, feel we are too committed, and active in each others lives and in the lord. They didn’t leave because GACC isn’t striving to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind & strength. (The Baptism of Jermaine & Denise)
Psalm 133:1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
Our church has refused to play church politics. We haven’t joined any particular movement, because we’ve insisted that anyone who is a disciple of Jesus is in our family! We are about the unity that Jesus prayed for in John 17 & we won’t refuse fellowship with anyone who is for building God’s kingdom in scriptural truth, righteousness and faith. As we study the bible with new people it enables us older disciples to see the folly in being hung up with past church rifts, & divisions. Those divisive issues primarily fester in the prideful hearts of leadership, and the average disciple and especially new converts could care less about any of it; And rightfully so, because they have just learned about the importance of forgiveness, humility, self -denial and trust in God. I know all of us, especially those older in the faith, can stand to take a refresher course in these concepts, for they are the foundation of the church.
Our teen’s ministry is prepped and ready to go, our campus, married and single ministries have had incredible successes, in spiritual growth and in numbers. But all of that pales compared to the hearts of serving disciples. I can see that God is ready to move in all of us if we are willing to let Him. 
I pray for all churches around the world to have at least what we have right now, and even greater things than this! Please pray for God to continue to see us worthy of His grace, blessings and power, as we pray for your church as well.
In unity, and the encouragement that comes from being in the Lord. Speech.
