In college, although I was a professing Christian, out of curiosity to learn more about my own spirituality, I began to study things that I now know were a part of New Age teaching. Some of the books that I was reading did mention God and even quoted the Bible, so I believed this new information on how to live out my faith to see progress and success in my life would strengthen my Christianity. One of the major teachings, called The Law of Attraction, centered around my thought-life, making sure to focus on positive things versus negative things. These positive thoughts would act like a magnet to draw to myself positive outcomes and results regarding my dreams, aspirations, and even material possessions that I desired. A step further would be to speak out loud positive declarations and affirmations about myself and what I would like to see happen to shape my future for the better. After I graduated college, when I met my husband at the church he grew up at, there was a lot of emphasis on this very same teaching (although they never called it The Law of Attraction) as well as being very cautious on what words you spoke. We were told that we needed to pay attention to our tongue- our words needed to be “in faith” and “in line with God’s Word.”  [CONTINUE READING →](            You May Also Like:        [10 Ways to Make Your Husband Feel Special](  Cindi McMenamin When you continue to make your husband feel special you are keeping the fires burning and keeping your love alive.  [CONTINUE READING →](       [10 Verses to Remind You God Is Enough](  Aaron D'Anthony Brown We should all feel comforted knowing that no matter what we’re going through, God is enough.
