They have no intentions of going back to church the way  it was before they influenced the church to depart to a worldly  methodology. If you check what they are doing at Hybel&#8217;s and Warren&#8217;s  churches they are going head first into heretical Emergent Church  doctrines and inclusive universalism with all Religion. Why would any  church retain a pastor who has lead them down the wrong path for two  decades as if he suddenly now learned how to lead people to Christ and  pastor the flock? <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Any  corporation leader who admitted that his leadership was a disaster for  two decades would be fired. But not these guys! So who are the members  worshiping in these churches, their pastor or Jesus? Its like those  Christian&#8217;s who vote for Ted Kennedy. They know he is a immoral  scoundrel but they vote for him anyway because he gives them worldly  benefits that a freshman senator could not. The church has become so  much like the world these days that even the world cannot tell the  difference. <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldviewweekend.com\/news\/article\/re-think-or-repent\">Re-Think or Repent &#8211; CWN<\/a>: &#8220;this was, and is more than a \u201cmistake\u201d that can be corrected by the publishing of another book, or as Greg Hawkins suggests: \u201ctake out a clean sheet of paper and \u2026rethink all of our old assumptions (and)\u2026replace them with new insights!\u201d Bill Hybels is one of three men who must assume some degree of moral, if not scriptural responsibility for the anemic condition of the American church today. The models of church ministry fostered by Bill Hybels, Rick Warren and John Maxwell have, in my opinion, done more harm to the true effectiveness of the church than we will be able to overcome in our lifetime, apart from a genuine revival.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #990000;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #990000;\"><\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The problem is even though Hybel&#8217;s now admits that they have been wrong for twenty years.
