ERWIN MCMANUS: BUILDING HIS LIFE NOT ON THE WORD OF GOD BUT ON SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE


How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your Word. With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your Commandments.

Your Word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. Blessed are You, O LORD; Teach me Your Statutes. (Psalm 119:9-12)

Following Foolish Leaders

From the lips of Erwin McManus, a leader in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church, you are about to read the neo-orthodox leaven which the emerging church is right now metastasizing as a malignant spiritual cancer throughout the man-centered new evangelicalism:

I build my life not on the Word of God, but the voice of God. The Scriptures are to me the instrument that God has placed in history for me to learn the voice of God. I treasure the Scriptures. (Online source)

But the truth is that Emergent leader, dreamer, darling of the Slowly Becoming Catholic, distinguished furturist, lead guitarist pastor and cultural architect Erwin McManus needs to go and learn what this means:

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel. (Proverbs 12:15, NASB)
