Rick Warren to host daily radio show
After resisting doing a radio or TV program for 32 years, megachurch pastor Rick Warren announced a deal with Salem Communications to broadcast a half-hour radio show in the 25 largest U.S. markets.

“Daily Hope” will air Monday through Friday to bring hope to a discouraged country, Warren told reporters at a press gathering hosted by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs’ Religious Freedom Project at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., last week.

“Along with his popularity, he has many critics, including James Sundquist, author of “Who’s Driving the Purpose Driven Church?” Sundquist also was one of the voices in a video by producer Elliott Nesch called “Church of Tares,” which asserts Warren has built his many organizations on secular business management philosophies rather than the foundation of Jesus Christ, resulting in “a great compromise of the Great Commission.”

This article, published in the Jan-Mar 2013 Bible League Quarterly, puts all the pieces together, like diabolical black pearls on a string exposing the linkage of RICK WARREN, MARK DRISCOLL, JOHN PIPER, GOSPEL COALITION, SOVEREIGN GRACE MINISTRIES, NEO-CALVINISM, ACTS29 NETWORK, ECUMENISM, AND CHRISLAM. Sovereign Grace Ministries is in meltdown. I was struck by this revelation. The root system of Sovereign Grace Ministries is the shepherding movement. The root of Calvinism is Theocracy. Combine the two, you have a demonic alloy of two metals that are even stronger when these principalities are combined. My term for this bondage and abuse of spiritual authority vs. liberty in Christ, is “Control Freak Christianity” OR SPIRITUAL EXTORTION.”

THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

An examination of where the New Evangelical policy of no separation from those associated with error and apostasy has led the theological college WEST.

It was the policy of the British Evangelical Council (BEC) and Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones not to engage in church-level fellowship with evangelicals remaining in the ‘mixed denominations.’1 Individual churches, evangelical or otherwise, in denominations belonging to the World Council of Churches (WCC) were excluded from membership of the BEC. The BEC Official Statement: Attitude to Ecumenicity was clear on its policy that it would not accept into membership churches belonging to the Ecumenical Movement as to do so would compromise the Gospel and blur the distinction between truth and error…

MARK DEVER EDICT: YOU CANNOT RESIGN FROM CHURCH MEMBERSHIP WITHOUT PERMISSION
“Churches’ membership procedures should reflect the fact that the church, not the individual member, has authority to accept and dismiss members. A member cannot unilaterally resign. A member can submit their intention to resign to the church, and the church will either accept or reject that intention.” IXMarks

Sex charges rock Purpose Driven ‘Healthy Church’ Award Winner

This account of child abuse in the C&MA is one of the most moving testimonies I have ever seen! I am grateful to Catherine Darnell for informing me. I am honored to help her remember Beverly Shellrud Thompson and help her get the word out to warn the rest of the Body of Christ. The C&MA is now notorious for both child abuse as well as abusing its own local churches by suing them and then seizing their church properties by force. These accounts and court reports are posted on our website as well.

Ron Israel ~ Allowed to quietly resign from Dallas Alliance!
Updated Oct 05, 2012
Shared via my friend Beverly Shellrude Thompson ~

In the documentary All God’s Children my sister, Marilyn Shellrude Christman, talks about being raped by a dorm parent at Mamou. Marilyn reported to the C&MA that Ron Israel is the dorm parent who raped her. We have been pleading since 1999 for the Christian and Missionary Alliance leaders in Colorado Springs, in the Pacific Northwest District and at Dallas Alliance to remove him from leadership in order to protect vulnerable children and the elderly from him.

Only recently has he been forced to resign (he was not fired, he was allowed to resign). He is still on staff of your church until Monday, October 1, 2012.

The Bergen Record, which has been doing an ongoing series on the C&AM bullying tactics and lawsuit to seize the church property and assets of a local church in Paramus, New Jersey, just reported on this case which just went before the New Jersey Court of Appeals on September 19, 2012. The courtroom was packed in like sardines on the side of Christian Firefighter, Pastor Joe Smaha, and members and friends of Community Church of Paramus, and reporters form the Media, such as Karen Sudol, and Dave Tombers of the national World Net Daily. The only people supporting the prosecutor’s side were C&MA Metro District Superintendent Bruce Terpsra and his Attorney Hopkins. Each side was given 15 minutes to present their case, but were given much more time.
