Although I attend a small-town church in Michigan, we regularly have a group of 50+ people that go to Willow Creek for conferences. Believe me, they preach Jesus without compromise. And Rick Warren's church, Saddleback Community Church, is the home of the "Purpose Drive Life" movement, which i have participated in. Keep in mind that these churches are in big metropolitan areas and are capable of drawing that many people.God bless them, as they are accomplishing much for the kingdom.

I don't know Willow Creek at all. So I take your word for it. And praise God if they are preaching Christ.

Warren is another story. When that whole thing came out during those killings in Atlanta I thought his defense of the faith was dreadful. And the quotes from his book amazingly shallow. I have a problem when someone promotes a book to believers other than the Bible. I see him doing more than offering a bible study book etc. but more like Paul didn't explain it right so here is my text. That I reject completely.

Believe me, I don't lump in Saddleback with the others (although I could personally never attend a church that large).

The Purpose Driven Life is quite biblical (no matter what the King-James-Only, Calvinist naysayers here say).
