It's an all-star conference set for the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Calif., Jan. 17-19. Former President George H.W. Bush will speak.Chuck Colson will make a presentation.Larry King will be there.Rupert Murdoch will address attendees.Ben Stein will appear. And Kay Warren, wife of Saddleback Church mega-pastor Rick Warren, will join Robert Schuller, the white-haired, bespectacled purveyor of "possibility thinking."What could such a diverse group have in common? What's the topic? It's called the [[["Rethink Conference,"]]] and Schuller promises 30 "Aha!" moments from the 30 different speakers confirmed for the event.Not everyone is thrilled about this meeting of the minds. Some, including Christian author and former New Age devotee Warren Smith, suspect an agenda to subvert the church – to take the focus off biblical truth and absolutes.[[["From my perspective as a former New Age follower, I believe that Robert Schuller's mission has always been to 'rethink' and 'change' biblical Christianity into something 'new' – as in New Age/New Spirituality," he says.]]]Smith's "Deceived on Purpose: The New Age Implications of the Purpose-Driven Church" documents Schuller's contacts and endorsements of New Age stars such as Gerald Jampolsky, Neale Donald Walsch and Bernie Siegel.[[[["As a former New Age follower I could hardly believe it," says Smith. "On October 17, 2004, more than 20 years after his first appearance on the 'Hour of Power,' New Age leader Gerald Jampolsky was once again Robert Schuller's featured guest. I was not surprised on one level, because I had always been aware of Schuller's affection for New Age teachings. What did surprise me was Schuller's willingness to still be so openly aligned with a veteran New Age leader like Jampolsky."]]]] Smith says it was Jampolsky who first introduced him to {{{{"A Course in Miracles," }}}}the best-selling book{{{{{ New Age bible that taught him "there is no sin," "a slain Christ has no meaning" and "the recognition of God is the recognition of yourself."}}}}}All of Jampolsky's books, according to Smith, are based on "A Course in Miracles." But yet, there was Schuller on his TV show recommending all of Jampolsky's "fabulous" works. He even noted he sold some of them in the Crystal Cathedral bookstore. And, [[[[according to Smith, for awhile, Schuller even hosted "A Course in Miracles" study groups in his church.]]]] It's not a one-way street, either, says Smith. New Age leaders like Walsch, author of the best-selling "Conversations With God," and Jampolsky go out of their way to praise Schuller, too.{{{{"They know that Robert Schuller has always been open to spiritual compromise," he says. }}}}According to Smith, Schuller has always "done a good job of softening up the church" for what he sees as unbiblical New Age ideas. And that's just what he expects the "Rethink Conference" is all about. If indeed that's what the conference is all about, some other big names are going along for the ride. They include Christian pollster George Barna, former heavyweight champ George Foreman, American Center for Law and Justice founder Jay Sekulow, Gary Smalley and "The Case for Christ" author Lee Strobel."Never before have we gathered such dynamic leaders who will challenge us to think outside the box as we grapple with a changing culture and our response to it," said Schuller.The conference will not only be attended by thousands at the Crystral Cathedral, but it will be telecast by satellite around the world by Church Communication Network, according to organizers.{{{{{"These culture pioneers know what is center-stage in our culture right now and also what is breaking on the horizon," says Rethink Conference executive director Bill Dallas. "This conference will confront outdated and pre-conceived ideas, offer new perspectives and open our minds to all kinds of possibilities that connect us with out shifting culture without compromising our core values."Smith just wonders about those "outdated and pre-conceived ideas."}}}}} [[[[["The church does not need to 'rethink' and 'compromise' its God-given biblical doctrines to accommodate the world," he says. "It needs to rethink its willingness to follow worldly leaders like Robert Schuller."]]]]]PS:Boy Oh Boy.....!!!!What we are witnessing here folks is the FLOOD of DECEPTION getting into almost every segment of christian life....
DECEPTION is not an OVERNITE THING.....It's a long process of departure from the truth,that sometimes takes years to develop....There is no point of stopping from falling away though.....
We are also witnessing the setting of the stage for a ONE WORLD RELIGION that is gonna be full force during the TRIBULATION PERIOD.
Sad to say this,but many PASTORS,LEADERS,CONFERENCE SPEAKERS and so on,are gonna be LEFT BEHIND when the Lord come for His Church without a spot or wrinkle.....
This thing about OPENING YOUR MIND TO NEW POSSIBILITIES......is SOOO NEW AGE.....it's not even funny.....
What is wrong with the OLD RUGGED CROSS...???? WHwta is wrong with the doctrine of Repentance of Sins and living a crucified life....?What about denying ourselves and following Jesus...???What about God's Will for our lives...???What about HELL and HEAVEN....????What about the FEAR of GOD....????
I'm gonna tell you what is wrong right now.....satan-the devil- wants to do away with the BIBLE and the fundamentals doctrines of faith in which christians stand as solid ground....
REMEMBER if he can put a little doubt about almost anything.....like he did in the garden of Eden....he will use that to in the end DESTROY YOU.....There is no TRUTH in him cause he is the father of lies.....
IF you attend the crystal cathedral....RUN OUT OF THERE ASAP...!!!!!
Be watchful my friend in these last days.....Even scan what your pastor preaches,through the BIBLE....If it doesn't align with biblical truth....something is wrong......As it is written some started in the spirit and ended up in the flesh....in this case deception......REMEMBER Samson....he rose up and he thought the Lord was still with him....but He had already departed from Samsom.....!!!!
GOD HELP US!!!!!!!!
JESUS is COMING SOON....and will he find FAITH in the earth....????
As in the days of Noah....
