Family & Friends,
This will be my very last salvo against Rick Warren and his Purpose Driven
program. You'll remember I was quite harsh with Bruce Wilkinson's Jabez
movement several years ago, and where is that now?
While I'm not taking credit for single-handedly crushing the Jabez phenomenon,
<grin> I cannot find anyone, not one single soul, who is still praying
the Jabezian chant. I even hear that Multnomah, the Jabez publisher, is
already in a desperate search for the Next Big Thing, as revenues (mammon) from
the movement have slowed to a trickle. BREAKING NEWS: I just
checked Multnomah's web site and Beyond Jabez: Expanding Your Borders is
scheduled to be available in February of 2005. I thought we were already
beyond Jabez!
What follow are some links to the Sacred Sandwich and Berean Beacon that make
VERY clear what Warren is up to with his legion programs. This says it
all, so I can probably refrain from any further investigation into the
subject. Because the Willow Creek movement is so similar in methodology,
I can probably let one stone kill two birds and refrain from firing any further
rounds into that carcass as well.
Some of it is a bit long, but once you've read it, you'll wanna burn his books
just like I do! They make great kindling!
I know this might not be as titillating as "Desperate Housewives", and our ADD culture doesn't like to "waste" 20 or 30 minutes reading something that doesn't have a lot of pictures and jokes in it, but your soul is worth the investment. I've seen the PDL books in some of your homes. I know you're at least experimenting with The Cult of Warren and I KNOW that his program is not biblically sound stuff. You will damage your understanding of GOD'S PURPOSES for your life by walking too far with Mr. Warren. This is a fact. If nothing else, please check out the second link below, The Adulation of Man in the Purpose Driven Life.
Several months ago I went to the Willow Creek Association's web page and was ASTOUNDED at how many churches have given over their pulpits to Bill Hybels. As difficult as it is for a pastor to be given authority to preach in some of these churches, it's really fascinating that pastors who are charged with being shepherds by Christ himself would so easily allow false shepherds to take control of their flocks. Maybe their intentions are good, but that will in no way excuse them when they have to give an account to the Great Shepherd. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
If I didn't love you and have concern for you I wouldn't spend several hours on a vacation day putting stuff like this together. Speaking the truth in love and fighting back against false doctrine are two things that can be very difficult to do at the same time. One can become too zealous, as I have done in the past, and in so doing forget that one is speaking to friends, family, and brothers and sisters in the faith. No good doctor ever removed a malignant tumor from a patient without first inflicting pain on said patient, but he does so anyway in the interests of preserving his or her life. Cancer in the body is one thing; cancer in the soul is a far greater evil.
If I don't converse with you again before Christmas, I hope you and yours have a great celebration of His incarnation.
Yours in Christ,
R.J.
"To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his
glorious presence
without fault and with great joy - to the only God our Savior be glory,
majesty, power and
authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and
forevermore! Amen."
Jude 1:24-25

Fox Promotes Beastiality
WARNING: GRAPHIC SEXUAL SUBJECT MATTER
One type of sin that really disturbs God, judging by His handling of it in scripture is sexual relations between human beings - image bearers of God - and animals.
What follow are God's thoughts on the subject, the subject matter of a Fox show called Keen Eddie, and the FCC's denial that this material was indecent.
I've threatened to stop watching TV before, but I think this is the last straw. One of the things I do enjoy watching is Fox News Channel, but if that scumbag degenerate Rupert Murdoch - the billionaire who owns Fox - will promote prostitutes extracting semen from horses, I cannot in good conscience be influenced by his Fox News advertisers, thereby increasing that dirtbag's wealth and influence.
You think things are bad enough with the influx of homosexual advocacy on television and then we learn about something like this.
I'm not much for prohibition movements. Preaching morality often leads to a lessening of our reliance upon grace and puts too much responsibility upon us. But I am hereby refusing to subject myself to the vomit that proceeds out of that box in my living room.
As God is my witness, if Marci didn't enjoy her Trading Spaces and cooking shows so much, I would grab that box right now, open my garage door and chuck that diabolical amalgam of circuits and electronics as high as I could out into my driveway. I kid you not.
"And the people bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made." P. Simon, A. Garfunkel
R.J.
"Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must be put to death."
Exodus 22:19
"Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is perversion."
Leviticus 18:23
