Wake Up, Evangelicals!
by
Karen Pansler-Lam, J.D.
Warren’s purpose-driven mission is to replace the true Gospel with the gospel of reconciliation - religious humanism, or secular humanism.
Wake up, Evangelicals! Rick Warren is America’s most dangerous religious leader. Warren - the Pied Piper of Christianity - is charming Evangelicals with his delightful tune of world peace and lulling us into a deep sleep of destruction. In the August 18, 2008, issue of Time magazine, the cover story heralds “The Purpose Driven Pastor: Rick Warren - America’s most powerful religious leader takes on the world.” According to Time, five years ago, Warren concocted the PEACE plan, a scheme to turn every single Christian church on earth into a provider of local health care, literacy and economic development, leadership training and spiritual growth.
PEACE is an acronym for: Promote reconciliation Equip servant leaders Assist the poor Care for the sick Educate the next generation Don't let "promote reconciliation" fool you. It means reconcile all our differences - even religious ones. The P really stands for promoting reconciliation among diverse religious groups such as Christians and Muslims. Therefore, the P actually stands for promoting the one-world religion of humanism and demoting Christianity. In other words, reconciliation is a substitution for salvation. Promoting reconciliation between Christianity and false religions is rebellion against Jesus’ Commission: And Jesus
came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15 Warren purposely
rebels against Jesus’ Commission with his own commission: Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel of reconciliation to every creature. Warren’s
gospel of reconciliation has replaced the true Gospel of
salvation. Simply put, according to Warren, reconciliation - not salvation
- will bring peace to the world. Warren is not concerned about building the kingdom of God; Warren is concerned about building a global community: a one-world government and a one-world religion – religious humanism. He ignorantly believes that his PEACE strategy will bring peace on earth. Rick Warren’s modern fairy tale PEACE strategy goes something like this: Once upon a time there was a great global strategist named Rick Warren. While the world suffered from poverty and corruption and oppression and other evils, Warren appeared – clad in blue jeans - claiming to be a humble religious leader who would bring peace on earth. This fantastic claim tickled the ears of many Christians. So, they promised to pay Warren unlimited adoration and agreed to join hands to save the world. And they adorned Warren with spiritual robes of scarlet and purple. So, Warren, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), began to work mightily on his great strategy to spread the gospel of reconciliation, or religious humanism, purposely disguised as Christianity. Warren worked and worked and worked to spread his false gospel around the world; and deceived many, many Christians. And, so, with the helping hands of deceived Christians and deceitful religious humanists, Warren and the CFR destroyed the foundations of the nations and the foundation of the Christian Church; and rebuilt in their place the Tower of Babel – the one-world religion of religious humanism in Modern Global Babylon – a one-world government. Then all the poverty and corruption and oppression and other evils were abolished from the face of the earth. And no one was sick. No one was poor. No one was ignorant. No religion was recognized as the Truth. No one sinned. No one sinned because Warren and the other humanists abolished the word “sin” so no one would be unhappy in the world community of Modern Babylon. At last, there was peace on earth. And the people of Modern Babylon worshipped and praised and adored Warren as their savior. And they all lived happily ever after. What a grand delusion! Warren believes his human strategy is going to bring PEACE to the world? We know there is only One who will bring peace on earth: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). Wake up, Evangelicals! Rick Warren is joining hand in hand with humanists to build a global community with a one-world religion – religious humanism, or secular humanism. Don’t be deceived! His PEACE plan is just a humanist manifesto disguised as Christianity. According to the Time article, Warren is “both leading and riding the newest wave of change in the Evangelical community: an expansion beyond social conservatism to causes such as battling poverty, opposing torture and combating global warming.” And he has shifted away from “sin issues” – like abortion and gay marriage – and is more interested in questions that are “uniting” such as poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate change and human rights. My friend, when you shift away from “sin issues” you shift away from the true Gospel. Warren is more interested in uniting with the humanists of the world than obeying the command, “Be ye separate.” Warren purposely defies Paul’s command in II Corinthians 6:14 –18 to come out from among unbelievers and touch not the unclean thing: 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And
what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Listen, friend, we cannot sit at the Lord’s table and the devil’s table: “But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils” (I Corinthians 10:20, 21). We cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of religious humanists: we cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of religious humanists.
True Christians must never unite with humanists and other infidels to “save” the world. And Christians must never join hands with infidels to rebuild the city of Babylon and the Tower of Babel. Christians and infidels are not of one mind. Christians and infidels are not of one heart. Clearly, Warren’s purpose-driven mission is to replace the true Gospel with the gospel of reconciliation - religious humanism, or secular humanism. First, Warren secularized Christianity with a secular vocabulary and a secular mission. He did this in order to marry Christianity to humanism to promote Christian humanism, which is Christian in name only. His PEACE plan is just another humanist manifesto similar to the three Humanist Manifestos of the American Humanist Association. For example, Humanist
Manifesto I (1933) states in the seventh thesis: Religion consists of those actions, purposes, and experiences which
are humanly significant . . .The distinction between the sacred and the
secular can no longer be maintained. And the ninth thesis
states: In the place of the old attitudes involved in worship and prayer
the humanist finds his religious emotions expressed in a heightened sense
of personal life in a cooperative effort to promote social well-being. And in the fourteenth
thesis: The goal of humanism is a free and universal society in which
people voluntarily and intelligently cooperate for the common good.
And the conclusion states: So stand the theses of religious humanism.
Though we consider the religious forms and ideas of our fathers no
longer adequate, the quest for the good life is still the central task for
mankind. Man is at last
becoming aware that he alone is responsible for the realization of the
world of his dreams, that he has within himself the power for its
achievement. He must set
intelligence and will to the task. Humanist
Manifesto I (1933)
Now, doesn’t this sound like Warren’s agenda: expansion beyond social conservatism to causes such as battling poverty, opposing torture and combating global warming? And doesn’t this sound like Warren’s shift away from “sin issues” – like abortion and gay marriage – to more “uniting” causes such as poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate change and human rights? And doesn’t this sound like Warren’s scheme to turn every single Christian church on earth into a provider of local health care, literacy and economic development, leadership training and spiritual growth, i.e. reconciliation? Wake up, Evangelicals! Next, the opening statement of Humanist Manifesto II (1973) boasts: The next century can be and should be the humanistic century. Dramatic scientific, technological, and ever-accelerating social and political changes crowd our awareness. We have virtually conquered the planet, explored the moon, overcome the natural limits of travel and communication; we stand at the dawn of a new age, ready to move farther into space and perhaps inhabit other planets. Using technology wisely, we can control our environment, conquer poverty, markedly reduce disease, extend our life-span, significantly modify our behavior, alter the course of human evolution and cultural development, unlock vast new powers, and provide humankind with unparalleled opportunity for achieving an abundant and meaningful life. The first thesis boldly declares “No deity will save us; we must save ourselves.” And the eleventh thesis states: We
believe in the right to universal education.
Everyone has a right to the cultural opportunity to fulfill his or
her unique capacities and talents. And the twelfth thesis states: We
deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds.
We have reached a turning point in human history where the best
option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move
toward the building of a world community in which all sectors of the human
family can participate. Thus we look to the development of a system of
world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government. And the closing statement proclaims: These
are the times for men and women of goodwill to further the building of a
peaceful and prosperous world. We
urge that parochial loyalties and inflexible moral and religious
ideologies be transcended. We urge recognition of the common humanity of
all people. We further urge
the use of reason and compassion to produce the kind of world we want –
a world in which peace, prosperity, freedom, and happiness are widely
shared. Let us not abandon that vision in despair or cowardice.
We are responsible for what we are or will be … Humanist
Manifesto II (1973) Now, doesn’t the closing statement sound like Warren’s PEACE plan? Wake up, Evangelicals! And Humanist Manifesto III (2003) states: Humanism
is a progressive philosophy of life that, without supernaturalism, affirms
our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal
fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity . . . Humanists
long for and strive toward a world of mutual care and concern, free of
cruelty and its consequences, where differences are resolved cooperatively
without resorting to violence. . . Humanists are concerned for the well
being of all, are committed to diversity, and respect those of differing
yet humane views.
Humanist Manifesto III (2003) https://americanhumanist.org/what-is-humanism/manifesto3/ Now, again, doesn’t this sound like Warren’s agenda: expansion beyond social conservatism to causes such as battling poverty, opposing torture and combating global warming? And doesn’t this sound like Warren’s shift away from “sin issues” – like abortion and gay marriage – to more “uniting” causes such as poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate change and human rights? And doesn’t this sound like Warren’s bid to turn every single Christian church on earth into a provider of local health care, literacy and economic development, leadership training and spiritual growth? Wake up, Evangelicals! Now, let’s go back and discuss Humanist Manifesto II and its aspirations. The next century can be and should be the humanistic century. Dramatic scientific, technological, and ever-accelerating social and political changes crowd our awareness. We have virtually conquered the planet, explored the moon, overcome the natural limits of travel and communication; we stand at the dawn of a new age, ready to move farther into space and perhaps inhabit other planets. Using technology wisely, we can control our environment, conquer poverty, markedly reduce disease, extend our life-span, significantly modify our behavior, alter the course of human evolution and cultural development, unlock vast new powers, and provide humankind with unparalleled opportunity for achieving an abundant and meaningful life. . . And, again, the twelfth thesis from Manifesto II: We
deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds.
We have reached a turning point in human history where the best
option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move
toward the building of a world community in which all sectors of the human
family can participate. Thus we look to the development of a system of
world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government. These passages remind us of the building of the Tower of Babel as recorded in Genesis 11: 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven: and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children
of men builded. 6
And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained
from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8
So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the
earth: and they left off to build the city. 9
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there
confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord
scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. You see, my dear friend, humanists, including Warren, imagine they can do all things – even bring peace on earth. And humanists deplore nationalism: “We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds.” They deplore what God has mandated because when men join hands they aspire heavenward – they think they are gods: “and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Humanists deplore nations and are working together to build a “world community.” They are rebuilding the Tower of Babel and Babylon. And Warren imagines there will be peace on earth if we all work together to build a new world religion – religious humanism. Warren is rebuilding the Tower of Babel. In fact, Rick Warren used the Tower of Babel as the major symbol of his 2004 “40 Days of Community” program to represent the goal for his agenda to build a global community of churches. According to Mac Dominick, author of the book, Rebuilding the Tower of Babel, Warren asserts that the Tower of Babel is a perfect example of what can be accomplished when we work together to reach a common goal. Warren stated that the construction crew of the Tower of Babel worked so well together that God intervened to separate them. http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/RTBIntroduction.html My dear friend, rebuilding the Tower of Babel is the spirit of anti-Christ.
In the past, Warren boasted he is a member of the Illuminati’s Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). https://www.wnd.com/2007/01/39612/
The mission of the CFR is to redefine American policy and have us – the United States - join a global government. Apparently, Warren believes the great commission is to empower ourselves and go into all the world and preach the gospel of reconciliation, or religious humanism. And then we can save ourselves. Again, the gospel of reconciliation is a substitution for the Gospel of salvation. But we know that the true Great Commission is “Go into all the world and preach the gospel.” The only hope of the world is our Lord Jesus Christ. The great commission is not “Go into all the world and preach the gospel of reconciliation." Only salvation brings true reconciliation. True reconciliation between man and God. True reconciliation between man and man. If the Church allies itself with an ungodly world power for support and prestige, it commits spiritual fornication. We must not reconcile our religious differences by joining world organizations to "save the world." Warren is committing spiritual harlotry by finding excuses for conforming to the worship of the image of the beast as prophesied in the book of Revelation. The glitter, the glamour, the pomp, and the prestige have dazzled Warren in his connection with international organizations and even intoxicated him with thoughts of his magnificence and power. He believes he is so magnificent and powerful that he can bring peace on earth. And Warren is heading up the apostate Evangelical church with his false gospel of reconciliation, or religious humanism – the new world religion. Rick Warren has committed spiritual fornication by yielding to worldly influence. He is corrupted. And he has become the servant of the Council on Foreign Relations. Rick Warren is America’s most dangerous religious leader because he represents faithless Christians, the apostate portion of the Church. The faithless portion of the Church chooses to love the world more than God, and be connected with the powers of this world than to have its treasure in heaven. The “woman that sits upon the beast” in Revelation 17 describes those who prefer to trust to the power and influence of the world rather than God. The purple and scarlet color in which she is dressed signifies the worldly magnificence of the apostate Church. Listen to this, the European Union’s chosen symbol is a woman riding the beast. In fact, a statue of a woman riding a beast is located just outside the EU office in Brussels. See it for yourself: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/End%20of%20the%20World/seat_666.htm
And, by the way, in the late 20th century the Tower of
Babel became the symbol of the new European Union. See it for yourself: www.biblelight.net/Tower-of-Babel.htm Clearly, the evidence proves that a transnational federal government and world community are defiance against God. And arrogant men and women, such as Warren, are defiantly rebuilding Babylon and the Tower of Babel. The reuniting of the races defies God’s command that we scatter ourselves across the face of the earth. Warren prefers to trust to the power and influence of the world rather than God. He envisions himself dressed in purple and scarlet to signify the worldly magnificence of his power. Warren has crowned himself as the spiritual king of America. But he is the head of the apostate Church. And Revelation describes the fate in store for the apostate Church: “These shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire; and shall burn her utterly with fire.” The world that she trusts shall viciously destroy her. This is a warning: If we join hands with the enemy even under the banner of unity and peace, the hands of the enemy will destroy us. Warren - the Pied Piper of Christianity - is charming Evangelicals with his delightful tune of world peace and lulling us into a deep sleep of destruction. Rick Warren is America’s most dangerous religious leader. Wake up, Evangelicals!
