The Death of A Thousand Cuts—The Rise
of the Seeker Churches and the Slashing Assault on Christian Orthodoxy: Megasized
Seeker churches are being spawned across America by Pastor Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Movement and its
spiritual cousin, the Church Growth Movement. Texe Marrs provides an inside look at the revolutionary
philosophy and unorthodox activities of these trendy, popular churches. For example:
(1) A Seventh Day Adventist denomination magazine hopes to lure new readers by promoting a
convergence of world religions, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity; (2) Seeker church-goers
think "Jesus is cool and he’s a party dude;" (3) Members of a Christian rock music band
dress and look like satanist denizens of hell, yet they are being promoted by the son of famous
Christian psychologist James Dobson and the son of former PTL Network personality Jim
Bakker; (4)
Prosperity preacher Joel Osteen’s mother warns people to avoid churches and pastors that teach
"condemnation, hell, fire, and brimstone;" (5) Lutheran pastor of 19 years who left
his wife to be with his homosexual lover is rewarded with pastorate of California Seeker Church;
(6) Opinion polls show that Christian youth are abandoning their parents’ biblical faith in droves.
Young adults are twice as likely to use illegal drugs, engage in extramarital sex, get drunk,
use profanity, lie, take revenge, abuse others, watch sexually explicit videos and steal other
peoples’ property. The vast majority reject the notion that the Bible should determine what is
morally right or wrong. (7) A pastor of a black Church of God in Christ Church in Tampa, Florida,
meets regularly for spiritual guidance with the local leader of the New Age-oriented Church of
Scientology; (8) "Praise Teams" made up of pretty girls in short miniskirts, or hugger
jeans, with tattoos on their bodies, are paraded on stage at Seeker churches. Dancing to the
heavy metal beat of drums and guitars and hip hop and rock music, the sexy dancers are called
"eye candy" by the pastors.
