Pastor Rick Warren is moving increasingly towards the left-and towards apostasy. I have found a video on YouTube concerning his P.E.A.C.E. plan. The tone in these videos is much different than his purpose driven books.
In this video he advocate ecumenical relationship with non-believers as key to changing the world. Here are a few quotes from that video
"If you can only work with people that you agree with you've just narrowed your army to a small sliver of humanity cause not even all Christians agree with you..."
"...when I'm out trying to working on trying to stop AIDS, I'll work with an atheist, I'll work with a gay person. I'll work with somebody who totally disagrees with me.If they wanna work on a issue, fine.Why? We're building a bridge..."
Exactly how will Pastor Rick Warren work with homosexuals on stopping AIDS. Evangelicals and homosexuals usually have diametrically opposed position on many aspects of the AIDS issue. The Evangelical response emphasizes trying to reduce the incidence of sexual immorality because sexual immorality places those who practice it at greater risk of infection. Homosexuals deny that and generally demonize Evangelical efforts to combat AIDS. Will he insist that homosexuals come around to see things from the Evangelical perspective. The tone of this video would seem to indicate that if he is forced to choose, that he will push Evangelicals to adopt the homosexual position on AIDS. If his actions on global warming, he will steer Evangelicals to keep silent on the increased risks of AIDS and other health hazards that more commonly afflict those who engage in the homosexual lifestyle.
The problem with ecumenical action is that Christians get too cozy with the world. when the Church begins to respect to the opinions of the world, then the world begins to influence the church.Rick Warren is leading Evangelicals into the same trap that mainline denominations fell into 100 years ago. Those relations with the world caused mainline churches to reject the Bible and believe the so-called higher criticism.They fell to modernist apostasy. The remnant that was faithful to God's Word became what we now call Evangelicals
Evangelicalism is about to fall into postmodern apostasy. Postmodern attacks on the Bible center more on interpretation than inspiration. Evangelicalism is about to
twist the Bible to make it fit the world's philosophies. Again,only a small remnant will remain faithful to the Word of God
