our mission
In a world of uncertain times, we strive to be a gentle reminder that we are not alone. Our mission is to make a positive contribution to the well-being of our world, and to be a major and measurable force for good on the World Wide Web, by creating experiences of inspiration that warm the heart and touch the soul.
TIWG is a compilation of homespun philosophy of the kind that you might find in Reader’s Digest, most of which anyone can agree with. Both the message and the presentation are nice and visually beautiful, in a way that will appeal mainly to women. However, the message comes short of presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ. For example, there’s this passage, supposedly spoken by God:
"To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
This isn’t a message that’s found in the Bible. What is found in the Bible, and what’s absent from TIWG, is any mention of needing and obtaining forgiveness first and foremost from God. That forgiveness comes only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ upon the cross:
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:22
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:7
In view of the absence of such a message, I conclude that The Interview With God is not an interview with the God of the Bible.
Pathways to Peace starts with Matthew 5:9:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God."
However, the presentation goes on to present human philosophy, and while there are quotes that anyone can agree with, none of them mention the only "Pathway to Peace" with God. That peace is available only through Jesus Christ, whose death on the cross for our sins satisfied His Father’s conditions for the payment of the penalty for our sins, enabling us to have peace with Him.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 5:1

Thank you for this article. My Aunt sent me this on November 23, 2011 and I had never heard of this before. I sent her the following reply.
ReplyDeleteDear Aunt Frances,
I watched the whole thing. The pictures were beautiful and the comments true from an experiential human perspective. I would like to gently point out that this presentation does not line up with the one true God as revealed in Scripture because there was not a hint of the Gospel nor even the mention of the name above all names Jesus Christ.
"Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right." – C.H. Spurgeon
I love you and thank you for thinking of me and I hope you will understand why I have replied the way I have.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Love,
Valerie
Here was her reply:
Well Valerie, Once again you didn't disappoint. I knew that it would not be "perfect" and that you would find fault. Must you always be "judge & jury" ??? I love you too and I hope you will understand why I responded this way to you.........
She claims to be a Christian, but you cannot be a true Christian unless you believe and defend the exclusivity of the Gospel message of Faith in Jesus Christ.
1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
Acts 17:30 “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, 31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.”
If you deny me before men, I will deny you before the Father.( Matthew 10:32-33)
