I think I am in error, including his name here and will remove it.<BR/><BR/>As for the other two gentlemen, in the beginning, it may have been about Christ plus nothing. But something happened, sir. The purpose driven church has caused major upheavals in churches across America. Willowcreek themselves "confessed" to NOT making disciples in their new book "REVEAL" this year....but their answer was to have Brian MacLaren teach at their Youth Summit in March.<BR/><BR/>I have used and taught from Hybels stuff almost a decade ago, until the Good Lord revealed the seeker sensitive movement to me. This movement has removed teaching on sin, the Blood of Christ, hell, repentance etc...so as not to offend people. The result? Most evangelical youth lose their faith in College and believe there is no such thing as Absolute Truth.<BR/><BR/>I was even a one-time Rick Warren fan after seeing him preach once at the SB Convention. When he spoke again at the 2006 SB Convention at Greensboro, NC (via video) I got up and left. The Holy Spirit would not allow me to listen to him and I never will again.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your suggestion. I take all criticism in a positive way. God bless and have a great week, sir.The Bernie Lutchman Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798539854112883215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590853328840724469.post-18603657204175183222008-07-06T05:31:00.000-05:002008-07-06T05:31:00.000-05:00Have you ever listened to Bill Hybels, Andy Stanle...Have you ever listened to Bill Hybels, Andy Stanley, or Rick Warren?<BR/><BR/>You might not agree with everything they believe or practice (the church wasn't even in agreement when Jesus was still here), but they definitely preach the Bible, and they definitely preach that Jesus is the only way to the Father.<BR/><BR/>The best way to make your point is not to tear others down, but to build something yourself.Rich Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124406818769434834noreply@blogger.com
