1 | Purpose Driven Life? | Bible general Archive 2 | Norrie | 101360 | ||
This book is by a Rick Warren? I just called Mama and that's what she said. I'm not reading it or doing the study, it's a 7 wk thing. My Thur. Bible teacher isn't too thrilled about it. Says he uses about 15 different versions of Bible and most are corrupted versions, finds whichever fits his purposes. I get a yucky feeling going to church since they started it too. I heard there is a seeker sensitive movement that started quite a few years ago that basically boils down to not saying anything that will offend a seeker so gospel gets watered down. I heard this guy is one of the leaders in that movement. At Sun School we were going thru Phillippians, then going to start another, instead we're doing this. I just don't want to study somebody's book instead of the real thing. I'm working in library instead of SS till this is over. Oh, the kickoff at church 2 wks ago, the pastor actually used clips from Everybody Loves Raymond in his sermon. Several people started to walk out then. |

Norrie I have to agree I get worried when someone starts using various versions of the Bible to make points. I'm very much support most translations but I have repeatedly said you can prove most anything if you pull it out of context. I have always felt like the lone dog because everyone raves about the Purpose Driven Church and I felt it missed the mark. I can't argue Rick Warren' success but I don't think his methods were meant for everyone. I too have been in churches where they had intermission (10 to 15 minute break in the middle of the service) and clips from various movies and TV shows. I was less than impressed with their results. So while I will not argue whether Rick is right or not, I will say his methods can fall flat in some churches. I fear when we try to take another man's course and try to make it ours. We are all given a path to walk by God and the Holy Spirit to guide us along that path. I think we can get real lost seeking man's direction. EdB |

I've heard churches all over the country are doing this, making him (Rick)rich is all! It reminds me of the old saying about jumping off the pier just because everybody else is doing it. I refuse to participate and we just got a new pastor. This does not endear me to him either. :( Oh well, I'll see what happens when this is over, see if we go back to Bible or keep up w/Hollywood...I'd hate to have to go church shopping after all this time... | ||||||

Norrie Like I said I don't know if there is anything per se wrong with the Purpose Driven Church, I just knew it wasn't for me. I think you may ned to give it some time to see if it has any benefit for you. You don't want to per judge it and miss a possible blessing that God has for you. Make sure you keep your pastor your church and yourself in prayer and the Holy Spirit will accomplish what needs to be done in your life and the church's life. EdB |
