Whose ‘PURPOSE’ is Rick Warren serving? |
In recent years the ‘Church Growth
Movement’ has looked increasingly for guidance to ‘The Message’ and ‘The
Methods’ of one man and of one church. That man is RICK WARREN and the church
is the church he pastors –
Just
recently I read a book by former ‘New Ager’,
WARREN
SMITH, called “DECEIVED ON PURPOSE”.
On the back cover there is an
extract from the author’s introduction that reads – ‘What I thought would be
a pretty quick read turned out to be a lengthy process that included the
writing of this book. Barely into my reading of ‘The Purpose Driven Life’ I
had immediate questions and concerns. And then as I read along one issue would
seem to lead to another. It didn’t take long to see that Rick Warren wasn’t the
only one who had definite purposes for the Purpose-Driven Church. It became
very clear that our spiritual adversary had his purposes too. Because of my New
Age background I have written this book “DECEIVED ON PURPOSE” to
specifically address some of the New Age implications of these purposes.
The following short review is also posted on the Christian Research website [http://www.christianresearchservice.com/]
‘Warren
Smith has taken on a noble task and he is definitely fighting an
uphill battle against overwhelming pressures to go along with the
popular crowd. I am glad to see men like him take a Biblical stand against the
popular teaching of the day, especially given the fact that we can see the
underlying source of this Church Growth Movement’.
