In another article recently Pastor Bill Hybels asked how people were growing spiritually in his church, thinking he would receive amens and hallelujahs. Unfortunately, even those in his closest circle told Pastor Hybels, people have good jobs and grow businesses here, but we don't grow spiritually.
Folks, I realize we go to church (the building) to fellowship and to receive a word from the Lord, but doesn't that mean we are to be growing spritually? Apparentely not at Willowcreek Church.
So just how is Warren helping his flock to grow spiritually if everything is fair game and the dollar is almighty? Not a pastor I would want.
Now if it was just Willowcreek and Pastor Hybels we might give the statement of, that's just one emergent church not fullfilling the discipleship courses. But how about this one:
The following is an open letter to Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, and a good friend and fellow emergent church adherent.

Fact: Rick Warren's Most Prestigous Parishioner Peddles Porn

An Open Letter to Pastor Rick Warren, of Saddleback Church:
Dear Pastor Warren,
Rupert_murdoch_150It has been a year-and-a-half since the world first learned that you are media mogul, Rupert Murdoch’s pastor. We’d like an update to learn how Mr. Murdoch is progressing in his spiritual growth.
Although, many Christians were pleased to learn that you’ve been able to help guide Mr. Murdoch along in his spiritual journey, we’d like to know if you’ve had the opportunity to share God’s law with Mr. Murdoch and show him from God’s Word that it is sinful and unthinkable for a Christian to earn money from or own a company that makes a profit from pornography and the sexual exploitation of women. Have you told Mr. Murdoch that he needs to repent of this terrible sin?
We're sure that you are aware that NewsCorp, which is owned by Murdoch, sells more pornographic films than Larry Flint. Sadly, this business report reveals that Murdoch's porn empire is growing rather than shrinking.
We know that you would agree that pornography is a sin. We also know that you've publicly encouraged those addicted to pornography to get help breaking their addictions through programs like Celebrate Recovery.
Pastor Warren, since you openly reach out to consumers of pornography, we’d like to know how you’re using your influence to help limit and reduce the supply of pornography?
There is no way that God's purpose for Rupert is to be a porn peddler. There is also no way that Mr. Murdoch's S.H.A.P.E. test said that has the spiritual gift of 'pornographer'.
Have you encouraged Rupert to enter a Celebrate Recovery program to help him break his addiction to pornography profits?
How is it going?
When will we be hearing the details of Rupert Murdoch’s plan to dismantle his porn distribution empire?
Pastor Warren, you’ve said that you’re addicted to changed lives. Is Ruport Murdoch’s life changing? Is Mr. Murdoch more ‘Christ-like’ than he was a year and a half ago?
When can we expect to see the fruit of this change?
Sincerely,
The Museum of Idolatry
