Dave Hunt, 1926–2013. After he became a believer he landed in the charismatic movement, surrounded by positive-thinking Christians who spoke the same language he had learned in business and in therapy.
Then he opened the Bible, and it did not match.
He points at Robert Schuller and Norman Vincent Peale: the same message in the church and in seminars for unsaved business leaders. Self at the center.
Empowerment. A book titled Believe in the God Who Believes in You. Jan Crouch’s line: “God believes in you, and so do I.”
Hunt’s answer: if God believes in me, He has a problem. Paul said we have no confidence in the flesh. And you cannot get from “You shall have no other gods before Me” to “believe in the God who believes in you.”
“For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh.” —
Philippians 3:3
“You shall have no other gods before me.” — Exodus 20:3
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. — Psalm 116:15
