your friendly Kiwi Bro! here in Christchurch NZ.
The garden of the soul.
(from Winslow's, "The Church of God, a Garden")
Look well to the condition of your soul!
Whatever else is neglected, allow no neglect here.
Your spiritual state infinitely outweighs every
other consideration. Nothing demands more
incessant watchfulness, pruning, weeding, and irrigation; since nothing is so susceptible of decay, as the garden of the soul.
Guard against.....
the world's blight,
the canker worm of covetousness,
the nipping frost of carnal association, and
the withering heat of religious professional excitement,
lest the lamentation of old should again be heard:
"They made me the keeper of the vineyard,
but my own vineyard have I not kept."
Hey brother good to hear from you. Merry Christmas to you and yours in your beautiful country.
The expose is a really great study I pray that others will read it and decide for themselves what purpose driven is all about and who is really driving it.
Tim
G'day Tim,
I like checking in on your blog to see how you are going.
Merrry Christmas to you and your family as well. No over eating, Cobber. I tend to. Christmas time is a nice time for the family to get together and to remember the birth of our Redeemer.
I watched a rerun of Butch Cassiday and the Sundance Kid on Telly last night and your country is really beutiful too! I would have loved to have come to America once for a holiday and visit different ministries but alas I couldn't get a Visa. You'd be a Bro I'd love to meet. In heaven for sure.
If you get a chance listen to these two broadcasts on R C Sproul's linked here from Challies.
By the way, someone I know really well has put together some links at Wikipedia relating to all things Rick Warren® which you may find interesting, some good audios too!
External Links to critiques of Rick Warren and his Purpose Driven® movement

The most prominent object in heaven?
Spurgeon, "The Lamb in Glory" #2095.
"Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne" Revelation 5:6
Jesus, in his 'sacrificial' character, is the most prominent object in heaven. So far from 'substitution' being done with, and laid aside as a temporary expedient, it remains the object of universal wonder and adoration. In all his present glory, Jesus disdains not to appear as the Lamb that has been slain. This still is his chosen character. Jesus, as the Lamb, is the center of the wonderful circle which makes up the fellowship of heaven. As the Lamb slain, he is the object of heavenly worship.
He who became a Lamb that he might take away the sin of the world, is not ashamed of his humiliation, but still manifests it to adoring myriads, and is, for that very reason, the very object of their enthusiastic worship. They worship the Lamb that sits upon the throne and say, "Worthy is the Lamb," because he was slain and redeemed his people by his blood. His atoning sacrifice is the great reason for their deepest reverence and their highest adoration.
The doctrine of Atonement is the first and foremost teaching of Scripture, the greatest well of the believer's comfort, the highest hill of God's glory.
In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" Rev. 5:12
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Rev. 7:17
