Continuing the Warren peace plan

I want to continue the message below. Rick Warren’s plan is not based on the Plan of God. It is Warren’s plan, Warren’s new spirituality.  It is man-made and is leading people away from the Cross.

 

In an interview in August 2006 with Charlie Rose, Warren stated that we don’t have to have the same religion or moral beliefs to work with people on poverty, disease, etc. As an example he said he just met with the President of the gay-activist group ACT UP, and asked him, "Eric [Sawyer], how can I help you get your message out?" Sawyer answered, "Use your moral authority." Warren then said to Rose, "I’m working with these guys … I’m looking for a coalition of civility, which means let’s get back to the original meaning of tolerance."

Not only will Warren’s PEACE plan for a new reformation include Muslims and gays, it will also include those with New Age propensities. Just this month, Warren hosted a Small Groups Conference in which New Age sympathizer Leonard Sweet was a featured speaker. Sweet’s spirituality is unveiled in his book Quantum Spirituality where he says he resonates wholeheartedly with New Age mystics (like Matthew Fox and Ken Wilber) and says that we can help people find their "christ-consciousness" through small groups. Warren has promoted Leonard Sweet for many years and clearly continues to do so with virtually no response or critique from Christian leaders around the world.

Without question, Warren’s reformation will include mysticism. He stated that very precisely many years ago in his first book, Purpose Driven Church, when he said the Spiritual Formation movement (via Richard Foster) would be a wake up call to the church and will bring the church to a full maturity. This makes sense given the fact that Warren’s 20 year plus mentor was Peter Drucker who had mystical propensities.1

Finally, Warren’s new reformation will also include the emerging church. Roger Oakland has documented this fact in his landmark book, Faith Undone, showing Warren’s continued participation and efforts in helping the emerging church become that next "reformation generation."

While Rick Warren continues to receive magnificent support by the biggest names in both religion and secularism, and unrelenting media coverage, silent church leaders play their part in this paradigm shift as well. By refusing to defend the Christian faith against those who present a non-biblical plan for peace and reformation, they will share in the responsibility of the outcome, which is mass delusion and far too many unsaved souls.

Perhaps it is true, as Time magazine states, that Rick Warren has passed the point of no return. Only the Lord knows that. But it is not too late for Christian believers to turn back to the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ and warn a world in darkness that there is no light in any of these other belief systems. Eternal life comes only through repenting and accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord by faith through His grace. A reformation that unites Islam, emerging spirituality, the New Age, mysticism, and homosexuality is a reformation that will only lead to spiritual death. And as the Bible states, our efforts to save the body (from hunger, poverty, and disease) will be in vain if the soul is neglected and not born-again.

Let us ask ourselves, would the Apostle Paul form a coalition and work with the followers of the goddess Isis or the god Jupiter to improve the lot of the poor and needy and call it a movement of God! Rather, he admonished: "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing" (II Corinthians 6:17). While it is right and moral to help the poor and the sick, trying to establish a godly movement while incorporating that which is not a part of the kingdom of God simply cannot be done.

Quotes by Rick Warren

"We come into this Peace Plan with great humility … We will be like a giant mushroom expanding and exploding around the world. Whatever it takes, it will be a holy moment."-Christian Examiner, 2005

"You’ve heard me say many times that the greatest thing you can do with your life is tell somebody about Jesus … if you help somebody secure their eternal destiny, that they spend the rest of their life in Heaven not Hell …your life counts, your life matters because nothing matters more than helping get a person and their eternal destiny settled. They will be forever eternally grateful….And I’ve always said that that was the greatest thing you can do with your life. I was wrong. There is one thing you can do greater than share Jesus Christ with somebody, and it is help start a church."- Sermon from 11/2003 when Rick Warren Announced His Global Peace Plan to Saddleback. Hear entire sermon – This portion starts around the 14 minute mark.)

"Personal computers have brand names. But inside every pc is an Intel chip and an operating system, Windows," Warren says. "The Purpose Driven paradigm is the Intel chip for the 21st-century church and the Windows system of the 21st-century church."- Christianity Today, Oct. 2005 in talking about his global peace plan.

I think this message proves that Rick Warren’s plan is his own personal one, not following the plan that God put in place.

II Timothy 4: 1-4  "I charge you therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick ( alive) and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the Truth and shall be turned unto fables.
