I live in NW Georgia and there is a Southern Baptist church on every corner. I'm aware of only a couple of these churches that have not sold their souls to the 40 Years Of Purpose corporation. Most of my friends and family are active members of two of these churches. Over the last ten years I have attempted many times to meet with the pastors of these two churches. I pleaded with them to read what Gods word clearly states concerning the whole “seeker-friendly” lie. I reminded them of their accountability as shepherds. I reminded them that, as a beliver in Christ, I am required to expose this heresy. I've never gotten a response and was told by one of the pastor's secretary that several believers had tried without success to reason with him. It took Rick Warrens love affair with B. Hussein Obama to make these two churches stop their snuggle-up relationship with Ricky. They “took a stand” by changing the home page of their web sites (both of their web sites had proudly displayed “We are a Purpose Driven church based on the teachings of Rick Warrens The Purpose Driven Life book”). My PD zombie friends and loved ones talk about how they've “gotten away from the Purpose Driven chuch thing” because Rick Warren has gotten involved in politics. They equate changing their motto with renouncing demonic activity in their churches. One of these churches actually has a real airplane hanging in the “sanctuary” for some kind of holy circus theme. They are also wrapping up a full length “Facing The Giants” type movie that is sure to be an even better seeker-friendly draw to one of their three church locatio…campuses. The devil has convinced these “pastors” that there's safety in numbers. I really think that in the backs of their minds they they think they'll be able to blame Rick Warren on that Great and Horrible Day. “But Lord, didn't you see how many people showed up at our annual Fun Day to get their faces painted and to play on the inflatables?”.

You guys have the same opinion of Relevant Rick that I have. I get boos and sneers from people at my church when I point this out but RW is no preacher of the word of God. He teaches another gospel, in my opinion. He has boiled things down and left out some very important details to the point that his message is not THE message.

I have heard him speak a few times on TV and he said nothing to amount to anything. Sort of like hearing a politician skirt the real issue so as to not alienate anyone. When I read his books or his posts I am even more concerned. His image seems to be his drawing card. Someone told me that his success is proof of his calling. I say, what success? He fills a stadium and sells books by communicating a false message. That is not success or a calling.

I really hate what the circus-driven church concept has done to the true-to-life Bible preaching churches. They believe they are not successful because they are not full each week. I use the following analogy: A man standing on a street corner giving away cocaine would have thousands of people stop and take his product but a man standing on the street corner preaching the gospel would have few if any stop and take the message. Does that mean the preacher is unsuccessful and the cocaine distributor is successful?

We have to get back to the Bible so we will know what we are supposed to be doing. We are not here to make friends with the world but to allow God to use us to rescue the world.

Sister I agree with you on your accessment of Rick Warren. He is a false prophet. He uses the word of God for financial gain. He reminds me in the of Jude of the apostates who are twice condemned. Thank you for your stand for the Lord.

Thanks again Ingrid for your insightful post .Unfortunately , in many places today ,the false gospel of niceness has replaced the eternal gospel of truth and power . Thank God for those who are willing to be unpopular in order to be faithfull
