Redefining Christianity

From page 104, Chapter 5 of Redefining Christianity by Pastor Bob DeWaay:

The gospel of The Purpose Driven Life is not the same as the gospel of the Bible. The Purpose Driven Life gospel is inoffensive, attractive, winsome, popular and easy to believe. The gospel of the Bible is offensive and hard to believe. It is a narrow gate and narrow path with few adherents ( Matthew 7:13, 14). The danger of course is that many who are entering the wide gate offered by The Purpose Driven Life will falsely assume they have become Christians when they have not...

...Since Warren’s book is filled with the precepts of men propped up by many misuses of the bible and bad translations, this confusing amalgamation is his "doctrine". Jesus called this sort of thing "vain worship". The gospel is too important to be stripped of it’s key doctrines, accessorized with human wisdom, turned into a spiritual journey of self-discovery and sold to an unsuspecting world as "Christianity". Its very nature requires that it be proclaimed with bold clarity.
