Pastor Rick Warren, who founded Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., in 1980, has deftly used technology as well as marketing to spread his message. His Pastors.com, which reaches 100,000 pastors worldwide each week, has e-mail forums, archives of all of his sermons from the past 22 years and a place to post prayer requests.

Our new pastor is in love with Pastors.com and we hear one of Rick Warrens sermons, parroted by our paster, every week. I am really sick of 40 days of this and 50 days of that. On top of that we now have only "junk food" praise tunes. The worship leader is from the high school group and appears to want to be in show business someday. Fortunately we are moving out of the area and I won't have to force myself to attend much longer. Not much hope for finding a decent church where we are going...they all seem to be going this way.

This is what is happening to my church here. It's frustrating to say the least. ICK is all I can say. I miss real bible study and preaching. I am tired of watered down pablum week after week.

Brother, you are not alone... we are few, but we are not alone.

Aa good website for you to check is: http:\\www.whitehorseinn.org. There are links to some excellent Reformed denominations. Very useful information contained there. And no Rick Warren style nonsense. I can't stand Warren and thankfully attend a nice Orthodox Presbyterian church where none of this watered down pseudo doctrine exists. ;-)
