Ungodly Leaders

"Not only have these leaders not gone to seminary or Bible school, they haven’t even gone to high school or primary school. They have no training whatsoever -- and yet they lead the church. This must be remedied." ~  Rick Warren


 Do you know that there are "five giants" Rick Warren intends to conquere 
with this P.E.A.C.E. plan, a plan that he insinuates  is the direct work of God?
Interestingly enough one of the giants is "ungoldy leaders." 

Listening to him on hat Sunday in November, 2003,
(http://www.saddlebackfamily.com/peace/Services/110203_high.asx) 
you would hear him say this.  

Amazingly, when talking about ungodly ledears 
being one of the evil problems in the world, he was not talking about unbelievers...
He was not talking about the tyranical dictators 
there are in the world, men who rule without justice 
who deny men of lawful liberty; he didn't mention any political names, 
he didn;t have any examples for listeners of 
WHO these Ungodly leaders were, 
at least not by name.. even though a few could have come to mind.  
No, he simply went on to described those "ungodly leaders  
as "leaders of the church." 
And their crime:.they had ."never been to seminary." 
NOTE: "These evil giants"..
(Leaders of the church)  
were so "evil" there were right up there 
  Realizing his mistake he now calls this particular EVIL GIANT, "a lack of servant leaders," 
  but in his sermon on that day it was pretty clear... 
the evil giant to be conquered was the church.  He said,  
"Not only have these leaders not gone to seminary or Bible school, they haven’t even gone to high school or primary school. They have no training whatsoever -- and yet they lead the church. This must be remedied." 
Apparently Rick Warren simply hates "unschooled 
and ordinary men" who dare to carry out the will  of God 
and preach the word of God.  
UNhealthy 
(not purpose driven)
churches and their leaders are pegged 
by Rick to his hearer.as "evil giants"
to be conquered... 
THIS in order to bring "peace" to the world. 
These "ungodly leaders"  
(not Hitler or Stalin or 
Mao of Communist China, 
lumped along with "poverty", 
 "disease",  "illitteracy" 

(now called ignorance)  and "spiritual lostness" 
(now called "spiritual darkness") 
are the evils in the world..According to Rick.
Dear Christian friends... who IS this man? 

Acts 4:13-14  
When they saw the courage of Peter and John 
and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men
they were astonished 
and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. 
 But since they could see the man who had been healed 
standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 
 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called.
Not many of you were wise by human standards; 
not many were influential; 
not many were of noble birth
But God chose the foolish things of the world
to shame the wise; 
God chose the weak things of the world
to shame the strong.
He chose the lowly things of this world
and the despised things — 
and the things that are not
to nullify the things that are, 
so that no one may boast before him.

Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; 
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
