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 ...
According to the official website, "An Evangelical Manifesto is an open declaration of who Evangelicals are and what they stand for. It has been drafted and published by a representative group of Evangelical leaders who do not claim to speak for all Evangelicals, but who invite all other Evangelicals to stand with them and help clarify what Evangelical means in light of "confusions within and the consternation without" ...
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.
