Our church just began its first "Purpose Driven Life" class. The instructions are to bring the book and not the Bible. The congregation was told "they won't be needed for this class."
Was there a "Cry Havok! and Let Loose the Dogs of War(ren)?"
(sorry)
Purpose Driven Drivel. The purpose is to drive God out of the church. Gah!
The instructions are to bring the book and not the Bible. The congregation was told "they won't be needed for this class."
You'll be taking it anyway I trust, if ye be going at all.
From Sola Scriptura to Hula Worship venue.
The sad thing here is just a year or so ago those of us who cried out against the PDL method were decried as being against evangelism or jealous of Warren because he was "successful."
Now those who were critical of us are turning their backs on Warren in droves.

I know you're referring to Bibles, but the congregation won't be needed for this class either. :D
Your church's course appears to be set. All hail the Seeker.
How sad doc. How very sad for you. What do you intend to do?
Yeah; that's a problem.
There are times when it's appropriate to say "you won't need your Bibles today." For instance, when my fellow Sunday school teacher was discussing absolute truth, that was a much more logical than Biblical discussion and I don't think he cracked a Bible at all on that day. He more than made up for it the next week he taught.
Entire Bible studies, however, where you don't even touch the Bible, is a much larger problem. Frankly, that was one of the reasons I didn't stay in a Baptist church I checked out several years ago.
I hear this all the time. It's an attempt to push the Lord out of His own house.
I wish I had a copy of those instructions!!
Are they from Warren or Saddleback?
