\nReview of A “Wonderful” Deception<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a>
\nUsed with permission.<\/p>\n

The depth and scope of the deception going on in the churches today is unimaginiable, I am glad Rick Warren and his cohorts are getting exposed for the wolves in sheeps clothing they are. Thank you Warren Smith for contending earnestly for the faith—I pray souls will be saved and pray likewise that Rick Warren and all those taking part in the deception bow a knee in repentance to the ONLY way to the Father–the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and kick that New Age “Master Jesus” they are following to the curb!<\/p>\n

I am a former Jehovah’s Witness—I did NOT come out of that cult, just to get sucked into this Purpose Driven-New Age-Ecumenical-Emergent false christianity! Thank you Jesus for paying the penalty for my sin. I am a sinner and I need a Saviour and I WILL CLING TO THE OLD RUGGED CROSS and CONCERN myself with bible prophecy, even though I wasn’t in the New Age like Warren Smith —-it was also BECAUSE Bible prophecy that I got saved. Yes, there really ARE people posing as “Christian” leaders that are promoting doctrines of devils. It is our biblical duty to protect and warn the Body of Christ in these perilous times!<\/p>\n
