Robert Schuller, Rick Warren— Their Connection and What That Means!

"And there's Rick Warren, a pastor who today is phenomenal. He came to our institute time after time. And in "Christianity Today," his wife was quoted as saying, "When we came to that institute, we were blown away." How God has blessed him. And today Rick Warren is blessing millions of people."—Robert Schuller at Crystal Cathedral, April 4, 2004

"Rick Warren admits that Robert Schuller ... had a great influence upon him. A man who believes it is wrong to call people sinners, a man who will not try to convert people of different religions influenced Rick Warren!"

Robert Schuller and Contemplative Spirituality

"I discovered the reality of that dynamic dimension in prayer that comes through visualizing..... Don't try to understand it. Just start to enjoy it! It's true. It works. I tried it."—Robert Schuller
(The Fourth Dimension, Foreword) Schuller's Possibility Thinking Gospel

"The most effective mantras employ the "M" sound. You can get the feel of it by repeating the words, 'I am, I am,' many times over.... Transcendental Meditation or TM... is not a religion nor is it necessarily anti-Christian." (Peace of Mind Through Possibility Thinking, pp. 131-32)—Robert Schuller

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom," "spiritual disciplines," and many others.

Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name [Jesus Christ] under heaven
given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4: 12
