Rick Warren Going Broke? Seeks Urgent Donations
Posted by Joel in Rick Warren on December 31, 2009
Wow:
Evangelical pastor Rick Warren is begging parishioners at his Southern California megachurch to cough up $900,000 before Jan. 1 to keep the parish out of the red.
In an urgent letter posted on the Saddleback Church Web site on Wednesday, Warren says expenses are up because parishioners are out of work and “the bottom dropped out” when year-end donations dropped dramatically.
He asks parishioners to donate before the new year to keep the Orange County church out of debt.
A spokeswoman for Warren said the church does not release financial details, so it’s difficult to put the $900,000 shortfall in context.
Warren delivered the invocation at the inauguration of President Barack Obama and is the author of numerous books, including the best-selling “The Purpose Driven Life.”

Warren’s P.E.A.C.E. Plan and Wagner’s Dominionism
Posted by Joel in Joel’s Army, Rick Warren on December 7, 2009
This is sort of an answer to someone about Rick Warren’s involvement with Dominionism which is currently being led by C. Peter Wagner:
C. Peter Wagner yet again – Bruce Wilson finds an interesting quote from Wagner’s 2008 book Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change the World, in which he discusses Rick Warren’s “P.E.A.C.E.” Plan, which seeks to improve conditions in Africa (p. 174):
I think the P.E.A.C.E. plan fits most comfortably into Phase One, the “social action” phase of strategies for obeying God’s cultural mandate. The Phase Two emphases on strategic-level spiritual warfare and associated activities have not been placed front and center. And crucial to Phase Three, as I am defining it, are such things as apostolic/prophetic government of the Church, the Church (including apostles) in the workplace, the great transfer of wealth, dominion theology and the 7-M mandate.

How odd that the leading voice of Dominionism, C. Peter Wagner, and the leading Evangelical voice, Rick Warren, are connected? What? Know ye not that Wagner was Warren’s doctrinal adviser?
Frank Schaeffer on Uganda and the Domionists @rickwarren

Frank Schaeffer is the son of Francis Schaeffer, a big name in the Religious Right – before Dobson, Falwell, and others. We are on the precipice of watching Uganda, which is currently governed by a man well-connected to the Religious Right in this country, pass a bill which would make homosexuality a crime, and a possible capital offense. They are going to kill homosexuals and those who know of homosexuals will end up in prison, for now.
