Day 43: The Trick of Cults

The essence of a cult, when you boil it down, is that it bypasses that personal relationship with the Lord and gets you off on some secondary issue. You can listen to people who have been or are in cults, Christian cults, and they’ve got some particular axe to grind. And no matter what you start to talk about, it will always come back to that particular subject. You know, I’ve been associated with people whose attitude always was ‘God plus something will do the job.’ Different groups have different ‘somethings.’ My comment is, ‘God will do the job.’ Never mind about the something.
