If Rick Says It's OK, Then It Must Be OK !

In the Book of Hosea, chapter 4:6 God says "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." The Bible paints the picture of His people as sheep. In one of many references, God speaks in the Book of Jeremiah how their shepherds have led them astray .

In just another example of Truth sacrificed on the altar of unity, Rick Warren has partnered with the Anglican-created, Roman Catholic-promoted Alpha Course. It is disturbing to note that the Billy Graham Association is also a part of the effort.

Alpha is promoted as "Churches and Christian organizations of every background and denomination are discovering it to be a simple and effective way of presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ in a non-threatening manner for people of all walks of life." The same can be said for Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life.

A brief look at the history of Alpha clearly shows it's ecumenical, doctrinally neutral presentation of Christ. If Alpha, and other popular teachings, do not present a Biblical presentation of Christ, it is a presentation that offers a person other than Christ. Such a void would allow for a charismatic, wonder producing leader to walk in and claim " I am he".

As a monitored trend on this blog,EVANGELICALS TURNING TO CATHOLIC “SPIRITUALITY” continues. In these social justice alliances, methodologies of ritual worship rooted in Catholicism and Eastern Mysticism are used as the ecumenical glue. Biblical doctrine is discarded because of it's devisive nature. What's left to agree upon is only the hollow shell of religious history and human tradition.
