Greetings Doc! But, you did imply that because a book was sold at Wal-mart that is must be theologically shallow! :-) It is hard to discuss books in general. I would recommend that you present specific parts of 'The Purpose Driven Church' that you disagree with and then we can discuss them. My points, in general, has simply been: 1) Just because a church is growing does not mean it is shallow! 2) Just because a book is popular does not mean it is false. 3) A small church is not, by definition, more spiritual than a large church. As for the specifics of the book, I found it very helpful and would highly recommend it for every pastor and church leader. The 'purposes' that it deals with are definintely Scriptural. Unless, you are prepared to say that worship, teaching, evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship are unBiblical! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi, Brother Tim... I did not "imply that because a book was sold at Wal-mart that it must be theologically shallow." There was no implying... I explictly stated this bias on my part, calling it a bias and acknowledging that it was just that. I have a similar such bias against the majority of so-called "Christian" book stores and broadcasters. I'll be happy when I stop seeing stuff that supports this bias! I agree with your points and would state that the converse of each is true about them as well. I wouldn't agree "that worship, teaching, evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship are unbiblical." I don't mean to be simply contrary, but I know you would agree: there is right and wrong worship, true and false teaching, proper and improper fellowship. Evangelism and discipleship can be doctrinally sound or not doctinally sound. I'll try to find specifics from Warren's book that we can talk about. You're right, it is hard to just discuss things in broad generalities. In Him, Doc |
