Here is another instance of prominent evangelical leaders partnering with a popular heretical leader. Luis Palau, widely know for his circus evangelism events, and Dr. Jack Graham, Dallas pastor and former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, have entered into a partnership with Modalist pastor T.D. Jakes. Christian Post reports….
The GDOP (Global Day of Prayer) broadcast this year is part of a local Christian initiative collectively called “Transformation Dallas” which includes: the Global Day of Prayer; 90 days of love-in-action through urban renewal in depressed areas of the city; and “Celebrate Freedom,” a Christian music and extreme sports festival featuring Luis Palau expected to draw 200,000 people June 29-30.
“Dallas is one of my favorite cities in the world,” Palau said, who joined the Jakes-Graham team GDOP broadcast last year, in a statement. “I’m inspired and encouraged by its diversity and by the powerful impact of the church community at so many levels. It’s also blessed with some of the greatest leaders in the Christian faith.”
Sadly, this is one more example of what happens when leaders become more interested in numbers and popularity than being totally true to the Word of God. Rick Warren, Erwin McManus, Ed Yound Sr., Ed Young Jr. have all be a part of movements or events that have knowingly compromise the faith. It seems that once the newspaper articles are written and the TV cameras start rollin, some will do anything to just “get along”. Where are the voices of leadership to say this is wrong?
