The Bethel church is a true succes story...
When in the 1990's the Toronto Blessing
was sweaping across the world, Bottenbley exposed
this unbiblical trend. This gave him a national
reputation of a "Bible believing
Christian". His church quickly became
a place where Rootical Christians of different
denominational backgrounds found a place where
they would be able to have Spiritual fellowship.
Or so they thought...
The press picked up the story and Bottenbley
became a known guest in magazines and television
programms. The Bethel church got in touch with
Willow Creek and to make a long story short, they
seem to have now become the model church for
Europe when it comes to the Purpose Driven trade
mark.
Rick Warren, who calls himself "Rupert
Murdoch's Pastor", also has a success story.
His Saddleback Church exceeds 30,000 enlisted
members. Warren's book "The Purpose Driven
Life" generates millions of dollars for
Rupert Murdoch's media empire as churches all over
the world force their congregations to buy the
book and "Do 40 Days of Purpose"...
Rick Warren recently spoke about a "second
reformation", in which he announced his own
Purpose: a global network of Purpose Driven
churches all working together with the State and
Businesses world-wide in a "Global Peace
Plan" to create a new world order that will
bring about the second comming of "Jesus
Christ". We have reported
about this scary situation.
The Purpose Driven Process has alarmed many
"Bible believing" Christians world wide.
Denominational as well as non-denominational
Christians blow the whistle. This Transformation
of the churches into one global Purpose Driven
network serves a purpose. The purpose of a
"Global Peace" after which Jesus Christ
will return. According to Rick Warren, that
is.
What the Toronto Blessing couldn't do, Rick
Warren with his New Age and Televangelist
connections can. Orlando Bottenbley and his staff
do the best they can turn to the whole Bethel Church into the Purpose Driven
Paradigm. And they're quite succesfull. The Free
Baptist Bethel
Church in Drachten (Netherlands) is the role model
for the Global Purpose Driven Network in Europe.
It's truly... Europe's Own Saddleback Church.
Bottenbley himself is known to be a "Bible
believing" Christian. But as we will see in
this article, he didn't show much of that
yesterday when he activated the Sixth Step.
It couldn't be different. As the Eight Step program used to
transform churches into the Purpose Driven
Paradigm is carefully implemented, Step Six
would inevitably be next on the agenda
someday.
Why is this important? The Bethel Church in
Drachten leads the Purpose Driven Movement in the
Netherlands, and isn't called the "fastest
growing church in the Netherlands" for
nothing. And the connection with Rick Warren leads
way back, from before the time Rick Warren was
called "America's Pastor" by Time
Magazine.
