The Secret

Anyone else hear about "The Secret" & The Center for Universal Truth?

"Because of the The Secret, there is renewed interest in the ancient wisdom and principles that are discussed in the film. As the panel of experts in the film suggests, these teachings are available to all who seek them. At The Center for Universal Truth, we learn, practice and live by these principles." (http://www.centerfortruth.org/the_secret.htm)

The Secret has recently been bandied about here at the Krueger household and also with another couple friend of ours as we saw the segment on Oprah about this new craze that people are buying into across the nation.

Here are my thoughts...

2 Tim 4:2-5, "Preach the Word: be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage- with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine (like this?). Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers (say 24?) to say what their itching ears want to hear ("This is The Secret to everything - the secret to unlimited joy, health, money, relationships, love, youth: everything you have ever wanted." ). They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist..."

One final word: "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness & worldly passions, and live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope- the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ," Titus 2:11-13

Knowing the Holy...

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us...the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like." ~A.W. Tozer

Your view of God will either add unending hope to your life or neverending desparity. With Him, you have a rock to lean upon, a shelter to huddle under, a defender to depend upon, and a Father to call you Home.

Without Him, life revolves solely around you, a finite being with a longing for eternity (Ecclesiastes 3:11, "He has also put eternity in the hearts of men."). The struggle can be over if as the people in 2 Chronicles 32:24 did you will humble yourself before Him.

What will it be today?

Welcome to the Blog

So, I guess, here goes nothing... Welcome to our blog!

I wanted to get this started so that you our friends & family would have a place to stay in contact with us and hear the latest of life here in Iowa. Hopefully from this, assuming I'm able to keep a good amount of updating done on here, you will go away encouraged at what God is showing us as we desire to "Know Him & Make Him Known". While most updates will be everyday ins n outs, I hope that at some point each post will direct us back to Him. Hopefully this will be a place for you to know Him & us more!

God Bless,
B for A & C
