	Saddleback Church
		Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, pastored by Rick Warren, is one of the most influential churches in the world.
		The apostasy that was just beginning in the days of the first churches grew quickly as the centuries passed, eventually producing the Roman Catholic Church, and it has continued to grow and spread throughout the age.
		And I weep over the damage that is being caused to the churches of Jesus Christ by a methodology that is breaking down the wall of separation between God’s people and the world but that is doing it under the guise of holiness and love for the truth.

		But there is another approach: to create a church out of a network of lots of little church cells—exclusive, tightly knit groups of six or seven who meet in one another's homes during the week to worship and pray.
		He was the son of a preacher—a man who started seven churches in and around Northern California and was enough of a carpenter to have built a few dozen more with his own hands—and he wanted to do what his father had done: start a church from scratch.
		And when an actual church was finally built—Saddleback used seventy-nine different locations in its first thirteen years, from high-school auditoriums to movie theatres and then tents before building a permanent home—the church would not look churchy: no pews, or stained glass, or lofty spires.

		These were Bishop Charles Blake, pastor of West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles, California; Rev.

Francis Karamera of the Anglican Diocese of Kigali, Rwanda.
		Warren adds, "governments and the business sector concentrate on the body, and it's time for the Church to care about both." She urges pastors and other Christian leaders to join her in repenting for past apathy about AIDS and for the church's ostracism of those afflicted with the disease.
		Kay Warren says she hopes the "Disturbing Voices Conference" will help churches become welcoming places that minister to the sick, and that more Christians will heed the call to repentance and ministry to those suffering as a result of the AIDS virus.

		Acoustically, the biggest challenge was the glass that ran floor to ceiling on both side walls in the cube-shaped room.

	The Church Growth Movement-An Analysis of Rick Warren's "Purpose Driven" Church Growth Strategy, Moriel ...
		Our burden is for churches that are trying to stay true to the Lord and have experienced little or no growth through the years as a result of their stand for the truth.
		Despite the fact that the early church clearly sets forth the example that doctrine is to be taught on Sunday to all the church body, at Saddleback, doctrine is only taught to sub-groups of the congregation apart from the regular church services.
		Yet, instead of their church recognizing the place and blessedness of such believers in the local body of Christ (see Titus 2:1-15), they are brushed off to the side, told to come only to the "more traditional" mid-week service or frankly told to move on and find another church.

	FIDE-O: 15 Things I Learned at Saddleback
		Saddleback's statement on Baptism says, "The purpose [of Baptism] is to publicly confess your personal commitment to Christ." Oh, but as for children, it is a different story.
		If no one in Saddleback brings their bibles to church and they are relying on a man to provide his own interpretation of them, then they who are in attendance are in error because they know not the scriptures nor do they confirm their soundness.
		If the members of your church are not examining and inspecting the scriptures as they are being disseminated, you guys are prime targets for wolves and fall prey to the judgment of the seven churches of Revelation, whereby they allowed false teachers to come in among the sheep and are judged accordingly.
