The lines in the church visible become even more blurred with Forward 2010 Conference June 24th-27th featuring well-known Word Faith preacher, and TBN staple, Jentezen Franklin along with Israel Houghton, best known as worship leader for Word faith mogul Joel Osteen.

Stay tuned; as this progresses you’ll see more and more evidence of the skubalon which has long been emerging from the spiritual cesspool known as Fuller Theological Seminary.

The May 12 entry in Rick Warren’s Ministry Toolbox is from “missiologist and trainer” Dr. Ed Stetzer, president of the Southern Baptist Lifeway Research. And the lines further blur: Perhaps you’ve heard of an “elevator pitch.” It’s that thirty second summary you use when you’re trying to communicate something to someone before they step off [...]

In this post, built around a piece by Aaron Gardner concerning Warren’s approach to the Gospel, I provide some additional commentary and the link to Gardner’s insightful post.

Seeker Driven Perry Noble retweets an important error by his mentor Purpose Driven Rick Warren: Solving our global problems will take more critical thinking & less criticizing without thinking from the Church.

Drawing your attention in this piece to some important work by pastor Rob Willmann of Vibist.com, Daniel Chew–author of Driven Away By Purpose–and Cecil Andrews of Take Heed Ministries, concerning Dr. Piper’s unfortunate lack of judgment in inviting Rick Warren to share his pulpit.

At Saddleback Community blog Bonnie does remind us:  Get your Easter bonnet ready because Easter comes early this year, Sunday, April 4th. We are holding our Easter Service and our Saddleback Church 30th Year Celebration all at the same time at Angel Stadium. This is unlike any Easter Service we’ve ever held. We’ll have as our [...]

If you weren’t able to catch John Piper’s explanation live last night as to why he invited Rick Warren to speak at DG 2010  you can see the video here.

Some further clarification in this piece here.

Chris Gordon, WSC grad and pastor of United Reformed Church at Lynden, WA, has recently done some road-tripping in visiting a modern seeker sensitive/purpose driven church North County Christ the King Church in Lynden itself. As he begins: It’s a challenge today to take a stand for anything. This is no less true in the [...]

A look in this post how Purpose Driven/Seeker Driven pastors are actually caught in a pietism passing itself off as Christianity today within evangelicalism.

Below is a Special Edition of the Fighting for the Faith radio program that exposes the Cult-Like Hostile Takeover Tactics of Dan Southerland’s Purpose-Driven Church Transtioning Seminar.

In this video What They Don’t Talk About in Seminary below Ed Young, Jr interviews his dad Ed Young, Sr–former president of the SBC, and fellow megachurch pastor. Just listen to how far emerging church ideas have penetrated the older guard. After beginning with a quote by a Quaker mystic, it’s also interesting how Ed Young Sr [...]

The Catalyst website tells us: “The Catalyst stage is renowned for some powerful moments with speakers.” Its history page informs us: Catalyst was conceived as a Next Generation Leaders Conference in 1999 by Andy Stanley, Reggie Joiner, John Maxwell, Lanny Donoho and several young leaders. Catalyst was created to meet the felt need that existed [...]

You can listen for yourself in this post as CRN contributor Chris Rosebrough walks you through this church marketing labyrinth on his radio program.

We know it’s largely anything goes Christianity today, and the Southern Baptist Convention still worships at the feet of its Idol of Autonomy; but as you’ll see in this new post, somebody somewhere had better start asking some hard questions of those in these curious associations.

CRN contributor Chris Rosebrough walks you through the issues of this confusing case on his radio program which you can listen to here.
