They Went Out From Us

True Christians have a built in lie detector and persevere in the truth. Those who remain in heresy and apostasy manifest the fact that they were never genuinely born again. John MacArthur

I have been concerned for a long time about Rick Warren's agendas. Many Christians have made excuses for him and yet he continues on a downward spiral into more and more blatant deceptions. He has surrounded himself with flatterers. I am hoping his latest shenanigans will shed light on his dubious connections and antics. I truly hope that Rick Warren is a believer, but the evidence will be that he will turn back from the direction he is presently headed.

History has clearly shown examples of Christians wedding themselves to the world in hopes of bringing in God's kingdom. Most of the time, these plans backfire, enabling a flood of apostasy, persecution of the true Church, and state/governmental backed churches only (true churches must go into hiding). We can expect this to happen, but it is discouraging to see so many Christians accepting deceptive words and practices from prominent Christian leaders like lemmings heading off to the cliff.

The following articles state more clearly the concerns I have.

One method that Rick Warren uses is called the "Three Legged Stool" approach. As Christians, we know we cannot expect a marriage to the world will bring about Biblical understanding. It can only bring about compromise. There has always been moves to dilute the Church by joining it to the world.

I am hopeful that there will be more of the light of God's truth breaking through during these deceptive times, because the split in Christianity is becoming so obvious and alarming.
