10 Scriptural Reasons Not to Be Involved with Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity


By Warren Smith, author of A “Wonderful” Deception: The Further New Age Implications of the Emerging Purpose Driven

1) Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven movement offers a “Broad Way” Christianity.

2) Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity does not declare “all the counsel of God.”

3) Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity does not discern the spiritual signs of the times.

4) Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity is ignorant of Satan’s devices.

5) Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity does not expose spiritual evil.

6) Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity does not “earnestly contend for the faith.”

7) Rick Warren and his “Broad Way” Christianity are loved by the world and it’s leaders.

8) Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity is engaged in a process of ungodly change.

9) Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity is frequently “double-tongued” and “double-minded.”

10) Rick Warren’s “Broad Way” Christianity is “not valiant for the truth.”

The Time is Here
The apostle Paul preached the importance of adhering to God’s Word. He warned that the time would come when believers would not endure sound doctrine but would find teachers who would tell them what they wanted to hear:

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Unfortunately, many of today’s pastors have forgotten that Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4) and that we are to “stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11). As a result, the church is now catapulting into great spiritual deception.

...For those who still rightly divide and depend upon the Word of God, the Bible warns that the coming deception will be so great that most of the world will be deceived (Revelation 13:13-14). Jesus warned that His way is not the broad way but the “narrow way” of continuing in His Word (John 8:31). And it is His way that leads to eternal life.
