Old post but bringing it up again because I wondered if anyone has been through this and what did you think? We just saw the first session tonight and though I’m usually leery of big hyped fancy projects like this, (e.g. 40 days of purpose and all that and since Rick Warren is even someone that’s quoted in it) the first lesson seemed quite good. So was I missing something? Or is there anything I should watch out for?
Probably nothing seriously wrong if anything. Remember, Warren isn’t wrong on EVERYTHING. No, that would be far too obvious.
Even though you and i both have serious reservations about Warren, i’d be willing to bet that we have far more agreement than disagreement with him.
It’s the areas of disagreement that are the problem. They’re serious enough to separate from fellowship with his movement.
Funny though, Warren coupled with R.C. Sproul and Oz Guinness. They’re about as diametrically opposed as can be. The first lesson can’t be about anthropology.
Colson ain’t wrong on everything either - but he and Warren are wrong on so much that I can’t recommend anything they put their hand to. I haven’t seen the lesson ya’ll are talking about - it may be good and solid. Guiness and Sproul are basically solid. I fall back on 1 Thess 5:21 - Test ALL things, hold to that which is good (true).
