I have a friend that attends Max Lucado's church in S.A. He said that the watered-down Purpose Driven gospel is pretty much the rule there now, for what it's worth. It seems the majority today loves either the watered down stuff, or Osteen's cotton candy gospel from Houston.

You've got to wonder when Texans have jumped the shark. That's as bible belt as you're going to get. Maybe it's just the liberal influence that comes with bigger cities and mega churches.

I don't know about his church, because I've never been there. I do know that I've read his books, which have been a tool God has used in my life to bring me closer to Himself.

Based on Max's books, I haven't seen an embracing of new age spirituality, or anything other than the Truth of Christ crucified and the covering of believers in His infinite Grace.

But, according to this article, it wants us to believe that Max is endorsing new age sprituality and pop psychology, and I don't believe that he has.

Based on reading the article, Max has maybe had Rick Warren or someone like that preach in his church. Then Rick's on Ken Blanchard's board of directors and Ken Blanchard (who the last time I looked never even professed to be a preacher, a prophet, or a candlestick maker) has attended some new age/pop psychology conference.

Ergo, Max worships the devil. It's all so clear, don't you see.
