Open letter to Rick Warren
Posted On: 07/15/09 03:52:29 PM Age 59, FL
Thank you very much Jan. I have had my doubts about him for a long time and this confirms my suspicions. He does not speak the truth. It is "Jesus only" to get to heaven. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Sometimes my pastor quotes Rick Warren and it sends shudders down my spine. Also, our church orders material that is printed from them, mainly childrens church. Another example of trusting people instead of trusting and reading the Bible. So many big church pastors twist the scripture to fit their idea of ministry. They are wolves in sheeps clothing. This generation needs discernment and that comes with reading the word and lots of prayer.

What a blessing to hear you write publicly exactly what I would like to say after having to leave a church that was taken over by Rick's Purpose Driven programs. The saving gospel is the only hope we have for an eternity in heaven rather than hell. That makes Rick's " big 5" seem rather small! Thank you for your courage to speak the truth in love - your ministry helps so many from being deceived - thank you!!

Thanks Jan, I don't always think through issues, but it is nice to read someone who give the thoughts clearly and correctly. I love to hear other sides as long as I can think about it for a while. When I read his book, I rejected the hundreds of translations he used. I felt he was searching for one that said what he wanted to have it say. Some of them didn't say what I thought the Bible said. Others didn't feel that way. I said it and kept quiet. I will direct others to your letter.

Rick Warren is a wolf in sheeps clothing! His whole plan of salvation is centered around works and he is the nwo's protestant poster boy for their ideal christian. One who does not let such verses as John 4:16 hold him back. The bible says do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers and that is his sole mission in life to equally yoke chrisitnas and muslims so we can all sing kumbaya over at the ac's bonfire. No thanks Rick I have a Messiah - Jesus Christ.

I'm glad to see someone speak the truth. I've spoken to a Muslim student and Christians who have said there is more than one way to eternity with God. That is absolutely not correct and I'm sorry that Pastor Warren did not make that clear in his meeting with the Muslim group. I agree 100% with this open letter. Christians cannot be wishy washy with the truth that there is only one way to eternity and that is asking Jesus, who died for our sins, for forgiveness of our sins. Only through Jesus, will we live for eternity with the one true God. Pam

    rick warren missed a golden oppurtunity to speak up for jesus. someone asked me if i knew was going to heaven and my reply was i sure do because my bible tells me. jesus said i am the way and the truth and the life no man cometh to the father but by me. jesus is the only way period. its time for all christians to act before the take god completely out of everythihg. there are moves afoot to delete under god from our pledge of allegiance to the flag and delete in god we trust from our currency. thats part of the one world order of "religion". time is running out for everyone.

Dissappointed
Posted On: 07/08/09 07:23:58 AM Age 54, GA
As one who has followed the Purpose Driven Model in the past, I am extremely dissappointed in Rick Warren. I do believe that he is a man of God who has perhaps been caught up in his own fame. None the less, pastor Rick, the gospel cannot be compromised in the name of PEACE. Please reassess you foundation and lift Jesus up once again.

How many talented and gifted men have been taken off their God given path as the fame and power becomes more and more about them instead of giving the glory where it rightfully belongs? The Purpose Driven Life is a life changing book. I know this as it is,in part, what lead me to my salvation after years of thinking my works as a Catholic would get me to heaven. I believe Mr. Warren may be suffering from "relativism" in line with the rest of the world. May God turn his eyes back on Jesus. Gary

Jan Markell, you are a very blessed woman. I wish more pastors and evangelicas would come fourth and rebuke Rick Warren for his hypocrisy. How dare this man proclaim to be a christain and lead millions of people astray...including the muslims. Jan,I pray God's grace shines upon you...protects you and continually blesses you.

  1. The Word of God is always right...
    Posted On: 07/07/09 08:55:22 PMAge 60, AUSTRALIA
    Thank you for standing up for My Lord and Saviour, when there is many a Judas, in the making, it really has not changed, Jesus, had to deal with the self righteous of religion in his day. He never brought a Religion, but a Kingdom. and when people stop playing around with this religion and start getting into the Kingdom of God they may find it far better in many ways. yet as the word says, the falling away, and the Leodicea church He will spit out of his mouth, and if this Rick Warren will get his act together and repent, he might be in the running of going home again? (and Judas hung himself) as Rick Warren has done? and as an ex-muslim would say, Repent! Rick Warren or be lost...? how dear he stand up for Satan and NOT our Lord Jesus.

Commercial Christianity is a farce!

While I wholeheartedly agree with Jan's assessement of Rick's lack of chutzpah to unabashedly proclaim the Gospel of Christ to a captive audience of Muslims, the ecumenical convergence of world religions ranks low on the totum pole of Christianity's identity crisis. Let's first abolish the entire harlot church system and begin a grass roots, Holy Spirit led, ecumenical convergence of proper biblical hermeneutics and exegetical understanding . . . particularly the doctrine of eschatology and what Christianity refers to as "Hell." Until these major issues are resolved, how can lost souls of any ethnic, or cultural background be attracted to an heretical and hypocritical, man-centered and man-created system we call Christianity. Church is not something we join, but rather are "born" into--the Ecclesia. We can't even get our thirty or so translations of the English bible to be congruent. Until the real Ecclesia and not "Christendom" can come to an eccumenical convergence on interpretive understanding of our own constitution (the bible), it's a waste of time to exert our so called, "biblical influence" on the rest of the world. Liquidate the brick and mortar facilities allegedley known as churches and take the mammon and feed the hungry,mend the broken hearted, and spread the truth of Christ, him-crucified, and the soteriological accomplishment at the cross two thousand years ago and subsequent end of the old covenant system and birth of the new one. Study the book of Hebrews Ecclesia. KevinALehmann@AOL.COM

    Kevin, I'm not sure most people who read your post understand- but by the grace of God I do, and I concur with your thoughts. Judgment has indeed started in (what people assume) is the house of God and for good reason. When God's children actually see things from God's vantage point they will appraise these issues quite differently. It's the difference between trying to save America from socialism and being about our Fathers business. Many of the problems that people are obsessed over fixing are the actual things God is orchestrating for His purposes. It's important to see this lest we be found fighting a war we were never called to join in. Thanks for the post. Praise God for His faithfulness in showing more and more individuals what really matters in this evil day. Michael

Rick Warren...This is so sad..
Posted On: 07/07/09 10:53:58 AM Age 42, GA
I was hoping he would prove me wrong in what I thought would happen as he spoke to the Muslims. But he proved my convictions right. Jesus said He did not come to bring Peace BUT a SWORD! We are to expose the unfruitful works of darkness...Thanks for the Open letter!
