Jones: "I had gone on a personal
spiritual retreat at a monastery; while there I picked up a card

The Listening Side of Prayer by Stacey
Padrick: "I have learned to hear
His voice through listening prayer—what some call contemplative
prayer ... I slowly inhale,
saying to myself Jesus' name, and with each exhalation I release
a fear or worry that is on my mind. Then, I continue to think
on Jesus' name, yet each time I exhale I think on a characteristic
of Jesus."Entire

Rick Warren Distorts the
Instructions of Jesus to Fit His Global Peace Plan
On
August 17th, acclaimed interviewer and broadcast journalist
Charlie Rose interviewed Rick Warren. You may listen to this
broadcast by clicking
here. (You will have to let this file load.)
In
the interview, Rose and Warren discuss the Purpose Driven Life
paradigm and its relation to Christianity in North America and
around the world. Here are a few of the comments:
1.
Rick Warren states there are over 2 billion Christians in
the world, and says that this number includes hundreds of
millions of Catholics.
2. Warren said that, with regard to his book, "I couldn't
figure out why it became such a phenomena. I think now it
was because God wanted to provide a platform for these other
issues we care about." (Warren's 5 global giants)
3. "I've been taking people, irreligious people, people with
no background in any kind of faith or they haven't been to
church or synagogue or temple in forty years ... and we take
them where they need to be.... My goal is to move the American
church [away] from self-centered consumerism.
This
interview showed very clearly Warren's dream to see Christians
and Catholics join together, stating that "minor doctrinal differences"
should not keep them separated. "What I am interested in is bringing
the church together ... we are never going to agree on a lot of
things, but I found we do agree on purpose." He talked about the
purposes that all Catholics and Protestants agree on. Read

"Rick
Warren has stated that we can find truth in other religions; he
has. 'There's truth in every religion ... Christians believe there's
truth in every religion. But we just believe there is one savior.
We believe we can learn truth from, I believe I have learned a lot
of truth from different religions. Because they all have a portion
of the truth. I just believe there's one savior Jesus Christ' (Nov.22,
2004 Larry King live) from Spiritual

Rick
Warren and the Alpha Course
"Rick
Warren is strongly endorsed by Sandy Millar and by Millar's staff
at Holy Trinity Brompton in England. Similarly, Rick Warren firmly
backs the work of Sandy Millar and his church. By understanding
Millar (an absorbing subject in his own right), it turns out that
unique insights can be obtained into Warren and into other ministries
supported by Millar." more
