List the top 5 things that Jesus did while He was here on Earth on a piece of paper.
Question: Did Jesus’ death on the cross for the sins of the world and his resurrection make it on to your top 5 list?
You are probably saying, “Duh! Of course they did. Those are the most important things that Jesus did here on Earth.”
We atTruth Matters would agree with you.
Believe it or not, Rick Warren was recently interviewed on a ‘spiritual’ website called beliefnet.com and during his interview he listed the 5 things that Jesus did when He was on Earth and Jesus' death and resurrection DID NOT make Warren's list. Here are the things that Warren listed.
“It's the five things Jesus did when he was here on earth.
The first thing he did was he planted a church.
The second thing he did was equip leaders. He spent three years training these disciples.
The third thing he did was he cared for the poor. In fact, in his very first sermon, he says, "I am here to preach the good news to the poor.” He cared for the poor.
Fourth, he healed the sick. One-third of his ministry was a health ministry.
The fifth thing is he taught. Particularly he cared about the next generation.”

How on earth could Rick Warren, a CHRISTIAN PASTOR miss Jesus' death and resurrection?
Apparently Pastor Warren missed the memo that the Holy Spirit sent us through the Apostle Paul. Here's what the memo said.

1 Corinthians 1:22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Well, let's be fair.
The interview on beliefnet.com was about Warren's 'Second Reformation'. (That's Warren's own personal reformation of Deeds NOT Creeds.)
We admit that Jesus' death and resurrection sure do sound creedal and mentioning them in an interview about Warren's Second Reformation would probably confuse people.
But here is something to think about... since Warren isn't willing to affirm Jesus' death and resurrection as part of his Second Reformation we probably shouldn't even call it a 'Christian' Reformation. No movement that is truly Christian would ever consciously omit Christ's death and resurrection, would it?
