Countering Drucker’s Works Theology: Part 2
From another great sermon by J.C. Philpot can be found the Old Doctrine about works and grace. In the coming days, as Rick Warren’s Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan gets more fully operational, believers may find more psychological, guilt-producing pressure brought to bear to “fulfill the Great Commission” or “end poverty” or “find a cure for AIDS.” […]
Countering Drucker’s Works Theology: Part 1
Rick Warren’s Second Reformation is all about “works.” In yesterday’s post Kay Warren was quoted from an interview she gave at http://www.crosswalk.com. In the same article at she called for Christians everywhere to get “seriously disturbed” about AIDS and to act on this crisis. There is much need in the world. And after 2-3 decades […]
Kay Warren’s Peter Drucker Theology
In a recent interview entitled “Kay Warren ‘Seriously Disturbed’: Church Must Act on AIDS” by Janet Chismar, Senior Editor for Faith at www.crosswalk.com [see http://tinyurl.com/9l5cm], Kay Warren lists the compassionate reasons for Christian believers to become involved about the AIDS crisis. Many of these reasons to be caring and concerned are valid. But about halfway […]
The Heresy of Entertainment
Below is an excellent quotation from A.W. Tozer that fits modern evangelicaldom perfectly, particularly the CBN-style glitz, glitter and glamour. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” (Colossians 3:16) […]
The Rich, Poor Church
In these days of the widespread promotion of megachurches, Christians can easily lose sight of what Scripture says on the topic. On today’s Thanksgiving holiday, it is good to be thankful to the Lord for all things, even when we are poor and small. David wrote in the Psalms, “I am small and despised: yet […]
The Real Purpose
The remainder of this holiday week Herescope will post devotionals which effectively refute modern-day heresies. May these devotionals be a blessing to you. Pertaining to yesterday’s blog post, which described Peter Drucker and Rick Warren’s new “works” theology, below is an apt quote from A.W. Tozer: “The work of Christ in redemption, for all its […]
Peter Drucker’s Theology of Works
On November 18, 2005 in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Leslie Lenkowsky wrote an article entitled “Drucker’s Contributions to Nonprofit Management” (http://tinyurl.com/7lzwn). This article highlights management guru Peter Drucker’s foray, in the latter part of his life, into transforming the social sector. This “third sector” of society was fertile ground for Drucker’s social philosophies. He believed […]
Peter Drucker’s Existential Purpose
In 1949 Peter Drucker, management guru and “mentor” to Rick Warren of purpose-driven fame, wrote an essay entitled “The Unfashionable Kierkegaard.” This essay formed the foundation of the philosophy that was to guide him the rest of his life. So important was this essay to him, that it was made available on the Internet at […]
Peter Drucker’s Mega-Church Legacy
The post-mortem accolades are pouring in for the managemant giant, Peter Drucker, who passed away a week ago at age 95. His influence spanned nearly a century and reached far beyond big corporations into the private sector. Previous Herescope posts have examined some of his influence over key individuals and movements in neo-evangelicaldom. Today’s post […]
Bob Buford Invests in Ken Blanchard
In August 2000, “From Success to Significance: Faithworks,” Barbara Elliott wrote about Bob Buford’s investments — time and talent, as well as monetary — in the nonprofit sector. [http://tinyurl.com/7eklr] “Since 1987, Bob Buford has poured most of his time, talent and financial resources into a series of overlapping and complementary nonprofit ventures.” Another official history […]
