Here is link to Critical Issues Commentary and a whole series of highly informative radio interviews done by my friends Brian Flynn of One Truth Ministries with Pastor Bob DeWaay based on DeWaay’s book Redefining Christianity. Scroll down to the bottom for Part One where Flynn and De Waay discuss how Rick Warren finds favor with the world by changing the Christian message.

In fact in his book DeWaay warns:

Warren has so redefined the major issues (the Gospel, the Bible, the church, fellowship, worship, discipleship, evangelism, and missions), he has effectively re-defined Christianity. The new version of Christianity is popular with the world. This version has avoided the outcome that Jesus predicted to His disciples: “If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you” (John 15:19).

The world loves a P.E.A.C.E. plan which promises to solve the problems they want solved. The problem is that the world hates the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May we boldly proclaim that Gospel so that God will use it to save some from His coming wrath. May we shun the lure of popularity and success offered by Warren’s redefined Christianity. It is so much better to be pleasing to Jesus Christ.
