DR. RICK WARREN PROPOSES THAT HIS PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCH MOVEMENT IS A NEW REFORMATION, THE GREATEST PARADIGM SHIFT IN CHURCH GOVERNMENT AND MESSAGE SINCE MARTIN LUTHER NAILED HIS 95 THESES TO THE DOOR OF THE CHURCH IN WITTENBURG, GERMANY, ON OCTOBER 31, 1517. WITHOUT DOUBT, THE PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCH HAS BECOME A TREMENDOUS FORCE IN THE WORLD, BUT NOAH HUTCHINGS SEES A DARK SIDE TO HIS FORCE. DR. WARREN STATED ON MAY 23, 2005, AT THE PEW FORUM ON RELIGION AND PUBLIC LIFE: "THE WORLD 'FUNDAMENTALIST' ACTUALLY COMES FROM A DOCUMENT IN THE 1920S CALLED THE FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FAITH. AND IT IS A VERY LEGALISTIC, NARROW VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY." THE FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FAITH TO WHICH DR. WARREN OBJECTED ARE: 1. THE INERRANCY AND FULL AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE. 2. THE VIRGIN BIRTH AND FULL DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST. 3. THE BODILY RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD. 4. CHRIST'S ATONING, VICARIOUS DEATH FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD. 5. THE LITERAL SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. THE PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCH RELIGION AT BEST IS A DISTORTION OF THE GOSPEL; AT WORST, A MOVEMENT TO UNITE ALL RELIGIONS TO PRODUCE A ONE-WORLD CHURCH.

It was good to read the viewpoint of a Godly elder who has actually seen his own church and life hurt by this methodology. Hutchings' perspective and pastoral advice helped me to be able to understand some puzzling activities I had observed in my own church.
