Rick Warren was interviewed by Scott Hodge and Chris Elrod at a side session of the Exponential ’08 Conference. RW was asked for his reaction to the “Revealed Study” and a summary of his dialogue is below: “You don’t have to not grow spiritual people. There are ways to do it…Purpose driven strategy is not a church growth strategy, it’s a spiritual maturity strategy. It’s bringing people closer and ...
How many discussions have you had about space aliens, UFO's, and theology? I've certainly had my share. The best discussion came one day after listening to Dr. Walter Martin's "UFO's: Friend or Foe." Dr. Martin argues for the validity of UFO sightings and alien abduction reports attributing them to extra-dimensional demonic life-forms. If you haven't heard it yet, you should. If anything, you'll get some good laughs out ...
I pointed my browser over to see the latest self-esteem preaching coming from the Crystal Cathedral and found a video with Shirley Dobson. Mrs. Dobson was promoting the National Day of Prayer and was a guest on the Hour of Power this past weekend. Robert Schuller asked her a few questions and she explained how she became the chairperson of the National Day of Prayer. As they ended ...

Let’s leave RW alone for awhile and take a look at an Easter sermon preached by Pastor Dave Anderson (DA), who maintains the MoviePastor blog. After listening to the Easter sermon, it appears that DA has the same shortcomings as RW in his sermons. Although the beliefs posted by his church, CrossPoint Community Church, seem decidedly Christian (inerrancy of Scripture, belief in the Trinity and salvation by grace), the ...
All racist theologies have the same basic core ideas and methodology. Thus it does not really matter if we are talking about the KKK, the Nation of Islam or Black liberal theology, their focus is always on skin and not sin; race and not grace; gossip and not gospel. Racism is always focused on the outward instead of the inward because it cannot deal with the root problem ...
His stadium is filled with 30,000 professing Christians on Sundays! When will the people wake up to realize this man is a deceiver? The truth cannot be made clearer! Are people really concerned about sitting under false teachers? May Joel Osteen take heed to the Scriptures and repent of what he is doing! Read with me the following quotes from Lectures to My Students by C.H. Spurgeon:" The ...
This guy really gets around. In the months of January and February Rick Warren went to speak with the world’s elite at the Davos World Economic Forum; he was the featured guest at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.; additionally, he was on The Colbert Report and Hannity’s America. The National Cathedral seems to be operated by an Episcopal congregation with teaching that encompasses all of the ills ...
A religious service in Los Angeles, California involving Episcopal and Hindu religious leaders received praise in this article from the LA Times. Apparently, the service was the brainchild by Episcopal leaders involved in a committee for "ecumenical and inter-religious affairs". The head bishop of the Episcopal LA diocese issued an apology to the Hindus for "centuries-old acts of religious discrimination by Christians, including attempts to convert them". The ...
I came across the blog (Pop Culture Mix) of a long-time Saddleback member (15 years) and his name is Richard Abanes. His most recent blog chronicles how he posted comments at other blogs maintained by Dr. Kim Riddlebarger (Riddleblog) and Chris Rosebrough (Extreme Theology). Dr. Riddlebarger and Mr. Rosebrough had posted blogs about Rick Warren’s Christmas message broadcast on the Fox News Channel. The main point of contention ...
You may have been innocently going about your Christmas shopping when Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club played a Christmas Carol Concert in all of their stores. On December 7, 2007, Wal-Mart and The Salvation Army teamed up with Mr. Purpose Driven for a video presentation by the Salvation Army’s Brass Band and a Christmas message from Pastor Rick Warren. The short message given by Rick Warren was as follows: “What ...
