January 9, 2010 - Coming Soon in 2010
Make a date with us this January, as we premier a ‘mind blowing’ new segment on Celebrate Life. Pastor Tom meets with Lou Tice Founder and President of The Pacific Institute (TPI) to bring you insight on how cognitive psychology relates to the Kingdom.
Over 30 dynamic segments have been produced covering a broad spectrum of topics which will help us to know how our minds work and how we can use this knowledge to build our dreams and to transform our lives.
You can also follow the discussions on the topics on Pastor Tom’s blog www.reformationreport.com.

| | Samantha Wise (Guest) | 04/12/2010 15:34 | | I need to understand more on the TPI as I read in one christian book that TPI is part of the New Age Movement. Please can you clarify cause I enjoy positive thinking and affirmations but would always want to know I am in the right path I have not read the articles so would not know whether this program aligns with the word well since Ps Tom recommends it then it should. However for my peace of mind I want to understand in detail what it entails. Is the Founder spirit filled and connected to the Word of God. Alot of questions are asked about TPI

| | | TINO (Guest) | 06/15/2010 11:25 | | The Secret is a new movie telling people “The Secret” of health, wealth and general success is the law of attraction. I haven’t seen the show, but from what I hear they teach a “name it and claim it” version of the gospel very similar to what Word of Faith preachers espouse. Similar to what some Christian Word Faith and prosperity teachers push from the pulpit today, “The Secret” tells its viewers to “believe, ask and receive”.
These teachings are nothing new. There is nothing new under the sun, but this is new to Christianity. I have heard preachers say the secret is stolen from the Bible, and Jesus taught this years ago. This is simply not the case. Jesus taught to lay down your desires and follow God. He also taught to have faith in God, where the Word of Faith heresy teaches to “have faith in your faith”.
From what I hear “The Secret” has many similarities to “Word of Faith”. This is why the preachers need to say “The Secret” stole from the Bible. Unfortunately for them, it is well established that “Word of Faith” stole from the mind sciences and it not aligned with Jesus Christ’s teachings.
Let me know your thoughts on this subject, especially if you have seen the video.
Wikipedia article on the secret.
Wikipedia article on Word Faith
As you will see, both doctrines teach to get what you want in the here an now. The secret teaches we are gods (some word faith teachers say this too), while the other uses God to get what we want.
