Well, here's what He did with me: He waited for those 'well-respected Christians' to fail. And fail they did, which taught me that God alone is trustworthy.
Not that I'm perfect now--nobody is--but I take everything people say with a grain of salt and measure it against Scripture, rather than measuring Scripture against the words of men. HTH.

Sounds to me like your child is abiding in the word already. If he's reading literature written by well respected Christians then obviously the Bible is discussed in them. It also sounds to me like you need to spend a bit more spiritual time with your child.

You are going to have to ask God.
If you are trying to get someone to abide in the Word, know that you can make suggestions but that you are powerless over another's choices.
If you are the one who would rather read the Bible material written by well-respected Christians, then I suggest you read the Bible too. (See? And I remain powerless over your decision.)

1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend I have ever had, as He has kept me happy all these years!
