Purpose Driven or Scripture Driven? - Way of Life Literature

This is the perfect recipe for disaster. It is the anti-gospel andthe doctrine of demons.So, here’s a “minister of the gospel” instructing his readersfrom every walk of life, Christian or otherwise, not to loveothers or even to love God as the Bible teaches; but instead,to “love yourself.”OK--All you--Mary Kay Letourneau, Lynette “Squeaky”Fromme, Hillary Clinton, Janet Jackson, Madonna, BrittneySpears types, listen up! I hope you renewed your subscriptionbecause the good reverend is about to say something herethat I’m quite certain you’re going to like:3. Warren: “Be true to yourself…consider your heart–what you love to do–as well as the strengths andweaknesses of your personality…Don’t deny yourweaknesses…be content with them.”You might hear that in a Walt Disney movie or on the Dr.Phil Show but you won’t find THAT in your King James,folks. What you WILL find is this:“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperatelywicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9).And this:“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will comeafter me, let him deny himself…” (Matthew 16:24).4. Warren: “Forgive yourself…God doesn’t expectperfection…”If we forgive ourselves without Christ, without confessionand without repentance, not only are we fooling ourselves,we are unwittingly condemning ourselves through delusionand have essentially learned how to bypass the conscienceGod has given us and “seared” it from ever feeling theburden of our sin and guilt again.89
