“Never before have we gathered such dynamic leaders who will challenge us to think outside the box as we grapple with a changing culture and our response to it,” said Schuller.

Christ established his Church on Earth to change people's lives; not change itself to suit people's lives.

From the site: "We need to know where things are going so we can get there first." Erwin McManus

If you really know where things are going, are you really sure you wanna get there first?

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect

It has always been this way for Schuller. In his book, "Self-Esteem, The New Reformation", Schuller says, "Man is not bad, he is simply badly informed about how good he is. Jesus would never call man a sinner. Jesus did not die for our sins, he died to sactify our self esteem."

Schuller comes out of the Dutch Reformation movement, his protoge being Norman Vincent Peale. Peale popularized 'the power of positive thinking'.....Schullers' schtick was change to 'the power of posibility thinking'.

Schuller is a dangerous man. What would have been declared by the church as a message of heracy 30 years ago, is now embraced as self esteem (Pride). Jesus Himself said in Matthew 24.....there would be wars, rumors of wars, pestilence, famines in diverse places....nation against nation,.....BUT before he warned of any of these things, he warned....BEWARE THAT YOU BE NOT DECEIVED. (Get a Strongs Concordance and exegete deceive, deception, deceiver....it will be astonishing how it applies today).
