The Shack

Every time I hear anyone mention The Shack, I cringe. Big time. Especially, if it is coming from someone at church and they are talking about it like the book is a postive thing.

It also reminds me of this passage of scripture ...

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. ~ 2 Timothy 4:1-5

Listen, folks ... God is not a black woman named Papa, some Aunt Jemima figure to kiss your boo-boos and make them better. The Holy Spirit is not a Tinkerbell wannabe and Jesus is not this really cool carpenter dude for you to rap with. That book is a fable.

If you have any confusion about this, pick up your Bible and actually read it. It will clear things up for you.
