Kay Warren’s gospel of social good works

U.S. evangelicals strive to change attitudes on AIDS U.S. Reuters: “Some Saddleback members felt uneasy at being urged to care for AIDS sufferers. ‘They felt that our job was to speak to people’s spiritual needs, that the church was about saving souls. I completely disagreed. This is historically at the heart of our Christian faith,’ she said.”

I have no problem with the church helping AIDS victims but Kay Warren’s statement above is nonsense. The Church is on earth to proclaim salvation of the soul to all who hear the Truth and believe it. How can she disagree with that? Where is that historical record that Kay Warren talks about? Where is the biblical foundation for holding that belief? If you really want to help all the dying people on this planet (we are all dying) don’t just give people a band-aid for their body give them Jesus for their soul.

Now readers should see a big part of the problem at Saddleback and the whole purpose driven movement. They have a worldly social agenda rather than a spiritual commission. They will even get into bed with secular humanists and pagans to try to fix all the things on earth that cannot be fixed because man freely chooses to live in sin.
