For those that did, he was just another pop preacher &#8211; but not to me. It was only a matter of time before Warren&#8217;s &#8220;whatever it takes&#8221; philosophy would steer him toward the political arena and on to the Middle East where someone like Joe Farah would be watching.<\/p>\n<p>Like the dialectic church, the dialectic government would also see Warren as brilliant, offering him the world stage on which to present his Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan &#8211; a pulpit usually reserved for high-powered politicians, corporate heads, world leaders and wealthy elites who, by and large, have long been considered the enemies of Christ. And frankly, addressing them would be perfectly fine for any pastor, except that Warren didn&#8217;t take that stage to proclaim the Gospel of repentance and faith as men of God are called to do &#8211; he went to sell his P.E.A.C.E. Plan &#8211; and when he started &#8220;playing footsie&#8221; with President Bashar Assad in Syria, rather than calling on him to repent for his atrocities, those with a working knowledge and understanding of world affairs, like Farah, quickly identified him as an &#8220;imposter.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newswithviews.com\/PaulProctor\/proctor106.htm\">Read this entire article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Paul Proctor News with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-purpose-driven-movement","wpcat-52-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
