The Seeker-Friendly, Purpose-Driven Cornucopia of False Doctrine — Pirate Christian Media

The Christian Research Institute Examines the Theology of Robert Schuller After Schuller established the Crystal Cathedral and his T.V. Show "The Hour of Power" there were two young pastors who took his ideas and implemented them on an even larger scale: Bill Hybels and Rick Warren. Both of these men learned about growing a church directly from Schuller when they were starting their new churches. Although Schuller was often viewed with skepticism by many Evangelicals (because he had so clearly altered and reduced the Gospel message), both Hybels and Warren have maintained more mainstream reputations as genuine Evangelicals and have escaped much scrutiny. Rick Warren and his wife, Kay, attended Robert Schuller's "Institute for Church Growth" in 1979 while Warren was in his last year of seminary.

Lordship Is Not Legalism

First, let’s be clear on what it doesn’t necessarily look like. Countercultural Christianity today isn’t defined by tattoos, craft beer, beards, and pour-over coffee. These are fine things, but they are in no way subversive, whether inside or outside Christianity. If they ever were countercultural, they aren’t anymore. They are mainstream, the majority, the megachurch, the Man. Countercultural Christianity is also not defined by embracing brokenness, “authenticity,” doubt, and skepticism.

Humanism: The Proverbial Frog in Boiling Water

It is what the Western culture worships. It is diluting the church's progress and hampering her power and impact. The dictionary definition of humanism is this: "the denial of any power or moral value superior to that of humanity; the rejection of religion in favor of a belief in the advancement of humanity by its own efforts. " After reading that definition, you might be thinking, "Hey, professing Christians in America and the West in general don't deny a superior power (God) and moral value or reject religion!

" But remember that humanism is the prevalent thought in the Western culture, largely shaped by the mainstream media and not seen or discerned by the multitudes. Due to its satanic origin and nature, it is deceptive. What was unthinkable 50 years ago has now been legalized in a number of states. O Caminho de Caim - Steve Gallagher.
