For a thorough examination of “The Purpose-Driven Life,” take a look at this critique by T.A. McMahon. Yet for all the problems of the book, Christians lacking in discernment are still gobbling it up.
Michael Gungor has received a lot of criticism lately for his stance on Biblical creation. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his professed beliefs. He doesn’t like the story about Noah either. His criticism of it is quite childish and irrational, all the while claiming to being thoughtful and rational! Since Jesus and the apostles taught the Flood and Noah’s journey through it as true, Gungor has to say they are lying. His “What Do We Believe” article is quite rambling and demonstrates why he should not be invited to perform in Christian venues - he doesn’t even believe Adam & Eve were literal. Without that, you have no literal fall and no literal need for a savior. That, my friends, is heresy. [links gone by 2/14/16]
Something to think about is “How to Shrink Your Church in One Easy Step.”
T.A. McMahon’s interview with Dale Ratzlaff about the Seventh-day Adventist cult continues with part 2.

What a round up, and not in a good way. Wow, what is happening in the church right now is horrible, just horrible.
PD - this movement is unfortunately consuming churches left and right, despite all the problems clearly documented by TBC. I was afraid that after Chuck Smith passed on to the Lord, that CCs would be the next major denom to fall victim.
Gothard and Driscoll - both situations have brought so much reproach on the name of Christ. Not to mention the spiritual abuse both men caused to so many souls. (But Glenn, thanks for posting the great helps from Sola Sisters.)
Frankly, the goings on with MD are just outrageous. I listened to Janet Mefferd's take on MD's "apology". You are correct, Glenn, he was NEVER qualified to be a pastor in the first place.
Barber's letter sadly won't be heeded by those who need it most.
Graham - sigh.
Thank You Lord for Your discernment, given to all the believers who write these articles... and to all the ordinary saints who have seen these issues for years, but have been mislabeled and dismissed as being "pharisees" because they wouldn't put up with compromise.

I am thankful for all the other watchmen (and women) out there who put out good alerts. Between them and my own sources, I can get the word out to many more people.
