[11th Earl of Mar]

Bill Hybels is the one who brought in Bill Clinton to a men's conference last year, to teach his male congregants how to be more Godly men.

there was a time when I thought Bill Hybels was a preacher who could be respected. When he compromised his moral stand by his refusal to demand that Clinton resign, I lost all respect for him.

I worry about this Hybel guy. He has reaped immense fortune from the growth of his religious cult. And I keep hearing stories about how his followers network in business. I hope this outfit isn't devolving into a racket of some sort. We have enough of that in America.

Dear Pastor Hybels:

I am a graduate of Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana, and have been a big fan of your ministry for many years. I am active in the ministry of Calvary Chapel.

Unfortunately these last few years many of us have been concerned about the "seeker friendly" focus of your ministry,

as the gospel of Jesus Christ gets watered down, and God's Word is preached "precept upon precept" less and less.

Pastor Hybels, it was difficult enough on the Christian community when you embraced former President Clinton in such a public way, when there was no outward sign

of repentance from him at all. "You shall know them by their fruits."

But now, with the publicity surrounding you inviting Godless men into your body to "teach" your people their idolatrous ways, we in the church of the body of Christ

are grief-stricken, much in the same way we were on Sept. 11th.

How does, "You shall have no other gods before me" enter into your position? Please share with those of us who love the Lord and who walk in His ways to understand how the Holy Spirit can possibly lead you into this type of public act?

Without God's Word and God's Spirit, we having NOTHING.

Please help us understand.

from believers in California & around the United States...
