"Word-Faith movement ...philosophy has led its followers to believe that God must obey our commands if we speak the right words with enough faith. It makes man "god" and it makes God our servant who is limited in His activity for us by the words we confess out loud. There is no humility in this doctrine and it goes completely against the letter and the spirit of the Scriptures."

We Christians are eager to make disciples, but will they look like the model? We are so eager to have people obey Christ's Words... but in all things? Until we come to grips with the commission we have been given strait from God, how can we expect others to do more?
