Hidden Facts about Rick Warren
Consultants (and their hidden agenda)
There is 1) the material contained in the Rick Warren two official
books.
And then there is 2) the ADDITIONAL level of conduct and training that
many Pastors must undergo....
| do you think we should blame Rick Warren for a concept that other local Pastors have taken to the "extreme" ? |
They are doing this directly because of...and in response to the Rick Warren Material.
Local Pastors contact the Warren Consulting Group (Consultants formally or
informally associated with Warren), and when they do this, that is when the
real changes in the churches begin.
Do you know
that the Warren Consulting Group flies in to the church to speak
directly with the pastor, and pressure him to sign on with them and their
"consulting option" ?
Do you know
that when the Warren Consulting Group does not usually come in to a local
church, that they fly the Pastor out to their own training center, for training
seminars, and that they do not want the contents of the training seminars to be
disclosed to the Local Church Congregations ?
Do you know
that the Local Pastors are asked to sign non-disclosure agreements
that prevents them from disclosing the nature of the training that they are
receiving from the Warren Consulting Group ?
Do you know
that Local Congregations do NOT have access to the training and
training materials that they are paying for - through the church - that their
Pastor is undergoing...somewhere very far out of their reach ?
Do you know
that when the Pastors of the local congregations come back, that
THIS is when those pastors begin making those changes in their church ?
Do you know
that when those Pastors make changes to their local churches, that
these are changes that take place both Doctrinally, and in the Corporate
Structure of the Local Church ?
Do you know
that the consultants of the Warren Consulting Group are consulting
and supervising the process (with and through that local Pastor) without the
knowledge of the Local Congregation - even while the process of change is taking
place ?
Do you realize that what the Warren Consulting Group is doing...is essentially
acting in the place of the Board of Elders and the Board of Deacons, and that
they are the ones who are giving advice to the Pastor - that he is following,
and OFTEN doing this WITHOUT the awareness of the local church deacons or elders
?
Do you know
that the Warren Consulting Group very much discourages pastors from
sharing with either their board of elders or their church congregations...what
is taking place...until AFTER their changes have been implemented ?
These are not individual decisions implemented by a few local Pastors.
These are decisions directed by the Warren Consulting Group over THOUSANDS of
churches, in which they play a very active and direct role in changing many
aspects of the local church, and where they supervise the process ...as it takes
place.
These changes are the direct result of Rick Warren and the Warren Consulting
Group.
They turn churches inside out, and their turn the theology of the church upside
down. But they operate through non-disclosure agreements that the Pastor signs,
and so then he feels BOUND
to NOT tell his congregations about the Changes that He is initiating.
This is Wrong !
What is worse is that the Pastor gets caught up in this, and then tries to get
each member of the congregation to sign non-disclosure agreements about what is
taking place within that church as well (these documents are called
"covenants" in the PDL terminology).
The result for the congregation is twofold:
1. They cannot tell non-church members about the changes that are taking place
within their own local church congregation, and
2. They cannot discuss what the changes are in the church, to OTHER church
members who have not signed the non-disclosure agreements.
This is very very wrong !
They are participating in the takeover and change in their own churches, and
they don't see it because they can't put enough of the pieces together Fast
Enough to understand what is going on.
This is taking place in THOUSANDS of churches.
There is Much More to the PDL/PDC material and theology THAN ONLY the two books
of Rick Warren. They are simply the "foot in the door".
We can only hope and pray that many more people will wake up to the dangers of the Purpose Driven life Model. We would encourage you to visit our webpage to learn how you can contribute to this discussion by sharing your stories and experiences with us at this page.
