The Importance of This Seminar Hardly a day goes by but that Cutting Edge receives phone calls, emails, and/or letters from anguished readers, telling us that their beloved local church had just gone "Purpose Driven". Literally hundreds of thousands of Protestant and Baptist churches throughout America and the world are in the process of converting over to this unbiblical, End of the Age church as espoused by Rick Warren. We even received an email from a Nigerian pastor, telling us that tens of thousands of pastors were being trained by the Purpose Driven Church leadership, so this is a worldwide disaster! Further, Mass Media has given the Purpose Driven phenomenon great press, in the Atlanta Courtroom Shooter and in the Terry Schiavo euthanasia case. CNN even positively interviewed Rick Warren about both these news events, adding great moral and emotional weight to this terrible movement -- quite possibly the Laodicean Church of Revelation 3:14-21. In the interview about Terry Schiavo, Warren couched his response in christian terms and concepts. For example, he uttered the Biblical truth that a person's life does not belong to himself or herself, but to God. This statement is true, but it does not make Warren or his movement Biblical; as we shall demonstrate, many critically important elements of the "Purpose Driven" church are so unbiblical that a person simply cannot be saved through this program! I know this is a strong statement to make, but we shall back it up thoroughly at the seminar. We shall also have Mac Dominick's new book and video of the same title, available to buy. The title is "Outcome-Based Religion: Apostasy, Purpose, & the New Paradigm Church" and Mac will be available to sign copies. We will prove that this phenomenon is one of several major religious developments driving the religious thinking of the peoples of the world into what the New Age Movement has long called the "Paradigm Shift". Incredible Answer to Prayer! Mary received a call this week from a ministry friend, Rose. Rose has been the only Born Again person in her family for years. She has been faithful to pray for her family members for so long, always believing that they would accept Jesus as their Saviour. Rose was excited to tell us that since Christmas, her daughter, husband and son have all become Born Again. We wanted to share this happy news with our Ministry family as we all can use the encouragement. Please rejoice with Sister Rose and her family. Remember, God's answer to your earnest prayer may be "wait", as He works according to His predeterminate Will. Do not despair if Jesus' answer to your prayer tarries. As Scripture says: "But those who wait
for the Lord. who expect, look for, and hope in Him, shall change
and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings
and mount up close to God, as eagles mount up to the sun; they
shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or
become tired." [Isaiah 40:31; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified
