McLaren is the author of some spiritual snake oil books and a leader in the movement known as the Emergent Church. He has devoted his life to leading Christians away from orthodox Christian doctrines. He and his cohorts are very bad news. He is a theological and political liberal on a mission to convert both theological and poltiical conservatives. He calls it being missional. He has had some surface success, though I would say he is inadvertently being used to expose false faith among church goers. People are waking up and having to choose between love for God (true love that obeys) and love for the world. If a man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him....friendship with the world is emnity towards God.... So painful as it is to see, exposure is good. In the end it will purify the true church. Still, we all must prepare ourselves for this spiritual battle. It is far from over.
Jas 4:4 - Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
