This is strange.
Rob Bell-author of the ever-so-popular Nooma videos shown in church youth groups
and
Doug Pagitt-emergent, self-proclaiming Christian leader
and
the Dalai Lama-Buddhist Tibetan monk
will all be together at the Seeds of Compassion event, whose purpose is to discuss how to bring awareness of spirituality and compassion to children in early life.
Read a bit more about it here.
I wonder..what is the purpose of Bell and Pagitt participating in this? Will they be declaring the truth to all the leaders of false religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism that salvation is found in no other name but the Lord Jesus Christ? I hope so, but unfortunately I very much doubt it.
There is a spiritual battle going on, and we are in it.
Let's remember to come to our Heavenly Father in prayer.
*** Update- Just thought I should clarify that I do not think Pagitt and Bell will be declaring the true Gospel since they sympathize with Eastern religious techniques and promote them in their own churches. And when I said we are in a spiritual battle, I mean that the Christian faith is under attack not just from the outside but also from the inside since true Christianity can be, and often has been, misrepresented by people like Pagitt and Bell. Furthermore, we need to continue to contend for the faith that seems to be compromised by so many of the mega- pastors***

Such crazy times we live in, huh?
Yes, it is crazy times. I just read your post about the Seeds of Compassion event, and I completely agree with you. Christians should not and likely would not be participating in this event. It is not surprising which "Christians" are showing up at these types of things. It seems that Doug Pagitt , Rob Bell, and company are getting bolder and bolder about showing what kind of message they actually believe.
"What fellowship can light have with darkness?"
