To: Pastor Brian Broderson, Pastor Greg Laurie and Pastor Don McClure of Calvary Chapel Association:

1 Timothy 4:1-2 KJV - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

After prayer and searching the Scriptures we believe the doctrine taught by Rick Warrenin the purpose driven lifeis not one of simply a different method to reach the lost butone that is dangerously connected to fellowship with unbelievers. This is clearly forbidden in the Scriptures and is need of reproof and correction.While loyalty to our friends and ministries is commendable our loyalty to the Lord and love for him must take first place in our livesno matter what other relationships we have. Solomon who was beloved of the Lord but his heart clave to his wives that worshipped false god's whomhe allowed to set up the high places. If this could happen to Solomon it could happen to us. It is a prudent measure to take care and guard our hearts with all diligence inwhat we allow our hearts tocleave to. We are warned about dreamers of dreams that have a different visionwhich contradicts scripture in bringing us into connections with those that worship other god's such as the ones of the new age movement that Rick Warren is connected with.

Deuteronomy 13:3-8 KJV - Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

Weall fall short but the real issue is if we are willing to repent and receive correction. Jesus spoke to the churches in Revelation and commended them for the good things they were doing yet therewere also some things that needed to be repented of.The purpose driven teaching of joining with unbelievers to accomplish a work that can only be led by the power of the Holy Spirit is a doctrine that is contrary to the clear teaching of Gods word in joining with those that worship the idols of the new age god.Revelation 2:14 KJV - But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. We would be in agreement with the late pastor Chuck Smith's warnings about the purpose driven movement as being something that would be akin to building your house on the sand. It is ourdesire to continue in the doctrine which we have learned with theoriginal vision God gave Chuck Smith namley, What is the wheat to the Chaff?and to continueto live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

In the spirit of meekness we would ask for your response regarding what your intentions are in continuing to endorse Rick Warren and the purpose driven movement and would council you in joining us to avoid Rick Warren and any other unbiblical teachingsthat cause offenses and divisions contrary to the doctrine which we have learned.It isour desire to continuein unity butwithout the leaven which will continue to grow if not dealt with in a biblical mannerthus affecting our fellowship as brothers in Christ. Thank you for your prayer full consideration in this matter.

Sincerely, In Christ
