Basic Christian
[non-Christian] national-international (secular) and fraudulent causes
i.e. Rick Warren's purpose driven agendas and the New Apostolic
Reformation and their upstream donations to their main church offices
and to a select few (possibly non-Christian, infiltrated) directors,
presidents and staff members.}
If the SBC is to adopt a new mission statement -- and such adoption should be considered a huge undertaking -what
is the statement it replaces? The SBC was formed in 1845, according to our founding documents, for the
"purpose of carrying into effect the benevolent intention of our constituents by organizing a plan for eliciting,
combining, and directing the energies of the denomination for the propagation of the gospel." The purpose of our
convention, according to Article II of our bylaws, is "to provide a general organization for Baptists in the United
States and its territories for the promotion of Christian missions at home and abroad and any other objects such as
Christian education, benevolent enterprises, and social services which it may deem proper and advisable for the
furtherance of the Kingdom of God." Are a "purpose" and a "mission statement" the same thing? If the proposed
mission statement is an add-on, it can be enthusiastically endorsed. If it is to change the purpose statement of the
convention, it needs far more serious consideration than to be the first of seven recommendations from a task force
formed for a different purpose entirely. The task force still wants to dilute the Cooperative Program by making it the
"first and primary component" of something they would call Great Commission Giving. The progress report in
February basically would have taken any responsibility for Cooperative Program promotion and "returned" it to the
state conventions. The new version still doesn't recognize that the states have always had primary responsibility for
CP promotion and it urges the SBC Executive Committee to work with state conventions to form a "unified strategy
with clearly established goals" by 2013. My strategy to encourage churches to higher CP giving is this:
Demonstrated commitment to CP from those who lead the Southern Baptist Convention. SBC president Johnny
Hunt, who has pledged to double his church's CP giving this year to about $900,000, rightly reminded the editors
that no one responds positively to criticism. You can't get someone to do more of something by emphasizing how
little of it they currently do. He reminded us that "thousands" of churches that claim SBC affiliation give nothing to
CP -- and the six-percent average church CP commitment would be much smaller if not for the large dollar amounts
churches like his provide.
Gimme That OC Religion - Crystal Cathedral Declares Bankruptcy - Why
Robert Schuller Had it Coming - Schuller ultimately influenced
American Christianity [but not in a lasting, positive way] the most of
any pastor in OC - at the expense of his own flock and for personal
benefit
Because, when all of OC's titans of Christianity eventually meet Charles E. Fuller in the afterlife, the world will see
that Schuller [Robert H. Schuller (Sr.)] ultimately influenced American Christianity the most of any pastor in OC-at
the expense of his own flock and for personal benefit. While Chuck Smith revitalized American evangelicism
[according to Chuck Smith - because everyone knows that it was Billy Graham not Chuck Smith that 'revitalized
American evangelicism'] via Calvary Chapel, the [TBN] Crouches [Paul and Jan Crouch - Trinity Broadcasting
Network] revolutionized broadcasting the words of Christ (including Schuller's own Hour of Power) and Rick
Warren built a global megachurch without peer, Schuller put too much of his church's focus on himself--the bestselling
books, the television program, the many lectures. **His message of possibility thinking [i.e. Chuck Smith
"made room in his heart ... generating a movement of the Holy Spirit"] and seminars for pastors made Warren
possible, created the megachurch movement, and brought in millions to build his Crystal Cathedral--but while
Schuller mugged for the cameras, he never did set a course of succession for his flock [Robert H. Schuller (Sr.) had
a clear succession in his son Robert A. Schuller - but Robert A. Schuller turned out to be an actual Christian and
that was unacceptable to NWO instigator Robert H. Schuller]. If I was more up-to-date on my Scripture, this is the
