R e c e n t l y o n a Lord’s Day I was “grounded” by the flu and un­ able to serve in my church and Sun­ day school. As I lay in bed, I tuned in on the radio religious programs. In the interest of this column, I passed up the good Gospel messages which I should have enjoyed, to listen to the cult programs. They ran the gamut from the saccharine sermons of the “know thyself” misty meta­ physical groups to the thunderous- toned “kingdom here-and-now,” anti­ organized religion rabble-rousers. I noted a number of things about these purveyors of error (1) Not one of them presented Christ as the atoning Saviour, cruci­ fied, buried and risen again, accord­ ing to I Cor. 15:3-4. Their messages centered about something besides Him who is “ the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6). (2) Without exception, all offered a “do-it-yourself” plan of salvation, by-passing Calvary. I was astonished to hear again that old term “ the di­ vine spark” which I thought had gone out with the horse and buggy! (3) Each speaker presented the most innocuous views of his cult, not airing to the public the deadly here­ sies which lurk beneath the surface. This is characteristic of all false re­ ligions: to bait the hook with some­ thing alluring until the poor victim is caught beyond hope of escape. (4) Nearly all appealed for finan­ cial support, either directly with some plea about a great “crisis” in the work or indirectly in the offer of literature, the implication of which was that one would not accept a gift without some form of remuneration. Thus these systems secure that which is more priceless than gold: a mailing list! Christians should investigate every organization — its teachings and its leaders — before investing one cent of the Lord's money in anything! Gullibility is not spirituality. (5) The speakers were competent, interesting and even eloquent. In most instances, the harsh, uncul­ tivated “hard sell” has been replaced by the bland, persuasive “ soft sell” which Paul called “ speaking lies in hypocrisy” (I Tim. 4:2). Suffice to say, I was impressed with the need to pray and to witness for Christ as never before.
