Peering Into The Peers - PDF   

 

by Lynn and Sarah Leslie

 

It seems to be a strange quirk of sinful human nature that we are constantly compelled to compare ourselves with one another. In this present generation we use a vast array of gadgets, inventions, and other artful contrivances to make ourselves "better". A massive advertising industry plays off our worst fears - that we might not pass the muster, measure up - that someone else might have beat us to the punch, reached the destination ahead of us, or trumped us in some aspect of life. Enter into this arena the diverse psychobabble industry, publishing books galore that hype our deepest, darkest needs and urges. How can we possibly attain perfection? How can we reassure ourselves that we are "okay"? Let's take that latest magazine survey to see if we are compatible with our husband or wife! Let's try that latest pill, cosmetic, or health food!

 

 

 

Resurrecting Pagan Rites

 

by Lynn and Sarah Leslie

 

To date, only the more fundamentalist, discernment-oriented ministries have dared to crack open "The Masculine Journey" for critical comment. Much of the criticism has centered around its use of psychology and the offensive content. The book's association with Promise Keepers, the stunningly popular men's movement, has led to a "hands off" approach by many who would normally be more critical of the book. Also, most of the recent PK recruits have had little or no exposure to the book and simply slough off any criticism of the book as not relevant to their own personal experience.

 

 

 

Encountering" Men At Risk

 

by Sarah Leslie

 

Several critical reviews of Promise Keepers have brought to light some serious biblical flaws in the Promise Keepers model. After examining these reviews we found the criticisms to have merit. One aspect in particular grabbed our attention: the use of an encounter group format. We decided to review the materials for ourselves.

 

 

 

Spirit- Led or Purpose Driven?

By Berit Kjos, Kjos Ministries

Our website began to receive requests for information about The Purpose Driven Life last year. So Andy and I bought the book, read it quickly and were troubled by some of its claims, promises and paraphrased "Bible" references. But we also found many true and encouraging pages. Since we didn't want to criticize Rick Warren or confuse those who apparently were helped by his book, we left it on the shelf...

 

 

 

Creating Community - Part 1 

40 Days of Change Through Transformational Leadership

 

by Berit Kjos, Kjos Ministries

 

You probably won't discover Rick Warren's vision for the 21st century community by simply reading his top-selling books. Yet, many have sensed that his five familiar motivational purposes hide a more complex mission. Some have noticed that his transformational strategies match those of UN globalists and the world's leading change agents. No wonder, since today's  management gurus -- Peter Drucker, Peter Senge, Bob Buford and others -- are shaping the same strategic pathways for churches as for the rest of the world.

An Open Letter to the National Association of Evangelicals – Re: The Election of Ted Haggard as President of the NAE

Sandy Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer, ACT & Let Us Reason Ministries


This open letter details facts that the NAE membership may have overlooked in their election of Haggard. The letter shows Ted Haggard's promotion of ecumenical unity between orthodox Pentecostals, charismatics, the UPC cult, the Third Wave, and the Word-Faith movement. It shows a false prophesy he just made. It highlights his evangelistic methodology and unbiblical spiritual warfare techniques. Most importantly, it shows how this election fits in perfectly with the plans of the International Coalition of Apostles under C. Peter Wagner to take over leadership in Christendom.

Ted Haggard Quickly Uses His New Presidency In The NAE To Advance Policies For Evangelicals On Islam


We warned the Church about the effect that the International Coalition of Apostles will have on Christendom recently in two articles. We believe that the seriousness of doctrinal issues being introduced by the International Coalition Of Apostles (ICA) through Ted Haggard to the NAE and his assertions with regard to his involvement in the ICA present a threat to the integrity of the truths of the written Word of God and to the Gospel message. Our second article was only out a few days before our claims had been proven accurate.  Ted Haggard immediately went into "interfaith" mode, using his new position as the president of the NAE to promote the Dominionist agenda of the ICA and the New Apostolic Reformation with regard to evangelism.  First, let's go back...

 

 

Restoration of David Warfare/Worship

 

By Orrel Steinkamp, The Plumbline, Volume 7, No. 4, September/October 2002
