More Evidence of the Shallowness of Rick Warren and PDL

Here is a piece by Chris Rosebrough, posted on Slice of Laodicea.com, that is probably one of the best examples of the shallowness of Rick Warren and his Purpose Driven philosophy. This should speak volumes to every believer. I continue to say, unbelieveable!


The Top 5 List for Jesus' Life - Rick Warren Style

Think for a moment. If you were to draw up a list of the 5 things that Jesus did while He was on Earth, what would you put on that list? What would be at the top of that list? Would your list contain Jesus' death on the cross for the sins of the world? Would your list contain Jesus' resurrection from the dead? Chances are that your list probably would contain these two things, especially if you're a Christian, even more so if you're a pastor.
Rick Warren did an interview on Beliefnet.com not too long ago, and he listed the 5 things that Jesus did when he was here on the Earth. Neither Jesus' atoning sacrifice on the cross nor His resurrection made Warren's list.

from Beliefnet.com, Rick Warren states.......

It's the five things Jesus did when he was here on earth. The first thing he did was he planted a church. The second thing he did was equip leaders. He spent three years training these disciples. The third thing he did was he cared for the poor. In fact, in his very first sermon, he says, "I am here to preach the good news to the poor." He cared for the poor. Fourth, he healed the sick. One-third of his ministry was a health ministry. The fifth thing is he taught. Particularly he cared about the next generation.

So for the last two years, underground, stealth, we have been working on this PEACE Plan. We've been developing a prototype of it in 47 countries. We won't let anybody do the PEACE plan by themselves. You have to do it in a team, in community.

There are 2.1 billion people who claim to be followers of Christ. If you just mobilize half of them that would be a billion people. That would be quite a force.



Why would anyone want to follow, accept, condone someone that is either this biblically ignornant, or lacks the courage, or desire, to stand for the Gospel?
