Greg Laurie Connects Purpose Driven to a Move of God – Gives Financial Support

I’m only going to post a small snippet of this article to give you a jist of what it’s talking about.  To read the article in it’s entirety, please follow the source link.

Greg Laurie has been solid in preaching Christ and Him crucified; he even spoke out against the emerging church recently.  But now he is supporting Rick Warren both spiritually and financially.  Sadly, he fails to link the heresies of Rick Warren with the emerging and contemplative movements.  I pray that Pastor Greg Laurie would seek the wisdom of God on this and realize that he is throwing his hat into the emerging and contemplative ring by supporting Rick Warren.

This is from Lighthouse Trails.

And now this brings us to the unpleasant task of reporting that Greg Laurie is giving a strong promotion of Rick Warren and Bill Hybels, which means he is indirectly promoting contemplative and emerging (which we will explain later in this article), and directly promoting Purpose Driven. And unfortunately, there is a twist to this story.

In Laurie’s May 2008 letter to pastors and leaders, Laurie talks about his upcoming crusade in New York City, saying, in reference to it, “God is on the move.” He then states that “[t]his move is also seen in the formation of the New York City Leadership group. Under their direction, a community-wide 40 Days of Purpose campaign with Pastor Rick Warren has been launched, and the significant services of Bill Hybels’ Leadership Summit conferences are also being organized to strengthen the local church.”  Source.

  1. A pastor in New York City has written an article regarding the New York City Leadership Center and Rick Warren’s role in it. It’s a well done article. If your visitors would like to read this related article, it is at: http://hbcnyc.org/manuscripts/Rick_Warren.html. Thank for your blog.
