Watchers Lamp Nov 14
This ongoing series concerning Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren here at
Apprising Ministries really begins Dr. John Piper made the dubious
decision to feature the semi-pelagian (at best) Warren as the keynote
speaker at the DG 2010 conference Think: The Life of the Mind & the Love
of God.
Afterward, this would lead to posts like Dr. Laverne Adams And Rick
Warren Driven By Destiny? and Rick Warren Teaching The Law Of
Attraction? where I introduced you to a spiritually whacked Word Faith
flake who goes by the name:

...Why Would Rick Warren Want To Promote This Unknown Word Faith
Pastrix?
Here’s the heart of the matter: Rick Warren, arguably one of the most
respected Christian pastors in the visible church, has recommended the
doctrine of Dr. LaVerne Adams in her book DBD; while she, in turn, praises
Dr. Cindy Trimm for being “a catalyst to move [her] into a realm of power
and faith that delivered me into a deeper dimension of my divine destiny.”
Trimm—who obviously shaped Adams’ doctrine—then says, “Dr. Adams
takes us on a scholarly journey and offers us a destiny altering practical
guide to discovering and mastering the secrets for success, happiness,
and prosperity.”
...Why would Rick Warren want to reach out to this Word Faith pastrix and
use his influence to bring her right into the mainstream of the visible
church? Could it really be that Warren himself does agree with this kind of
lunacy in the Lord’s Name as well? Stay tuned.

Universe Today
An active sunspot (1123) erupted early this morning (Nov. 12th), producing
a C4-class solar flare and apparently hurling a filament of material in the
general direction of Earth. Coronagraph images from the Solar and
Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and NASA’s twin STEREO spacecraft
show a faint coronal mass ejection emerging from the blast site and
heading off in a direction just south of the sun-Earth line. The cloud could
deliver a glancing blow to Earth’s magnetic field sometime on Nov. 14th or
15th. High latitude sky watchers could see auroras on those dates.
Learn how a solar flare impacts the earth's magnetic field, weather and
tectonic plates here.

Another aspect of Rick Warren's tweet is that it seems to be one
way...Rick's Way. Warren sets up the straw man, a believer attacking
another believer. Warren then labels the attack as an act of heresy.
Certainly, the statement seems valid, in and of itself. However, Rick
Warren's history of ad hominen attacks upon those critical of his
pragmatism and theology quickly tarnishes any validity his tweet may have
offered.
Here's a just a few examples of Rick Warren, et. al, attacking other
believers:

Five bishops are to resign from the Church of England to lead the
defection of hundreds of Anglicans to Rome, The Daily Telegraph has
learned.
Senior Catholics are finalising plans for a new group for Anglican converts
who cannot accept women bishops and a detailed timetable for its
formation could be announced as early as next week.
The defections have been triggered by a vote at the General Synod of the
Church of England in July to support divisive plans for women to be
ordained as bishops in England for the first time.

What has been described as a large “cruise type” missile was apparently
launched from an undetermined location – of undetermined origin –
somewhere in the Pacific Ocean approximately 35 miles north of Catalina
Island and west of Los Angeles at sunset last night. The U.S. military

United States.”

- “This was not an accidental launch. The methods required to launch a
missile of this size and presumed type is too complex and involves more
than one person, that’s all I can say.” – Pentagon source; 9 November
2010; 1510 hours ET
–”Oh yes, they know exactly where it came from and what type of missile it
was, but are not saying. There are a lot of meetings taking place right now
inside the ring [a reference to the Pentagon].” – Pentagon source; 9
November 2010; 1510 hours ET
–”China, Russia, Iran, France are four countries that have the capabilities
for this type type of launch. And of course, we do too. But it was not us.
There’s scuttlebut about a cargo ship and China, but that’s all it is,
scuttlebut.” – Pentagon source; 9 November 2010; 1510 hours ET

we all now live. But is merging the entire globe into a one world economy,
a one world financial system and a one world labor market really the best
thing for the American people?
..."This will keep America on its toes. America is going to have to compete.
There is going to be a tug-of-war within the US between those who see
globalization as a threat and those who accept we live in a open integrated
world, which has challenges and opportunities."

Writing in the Financial Times, World Bank President Robert Zoellick called

Gold has risen nearly 6 percent since just before the Fed detailed plans

Right from the start of the financial crisis, it was apparent that one of its
biggest long-term casualties would be the mighty dollar, and with it, very
possibly, American economic hegemony. The process would take time –
possibly a decade or more –but the starting gun had been fired.

tragedy is already approaching its denouement.
...The rest of the world is now openly questioning the merits of a global

POST ED BY W AT CHER'S LAMP
Rising food prices and shortages could cause instability in many countries
as the cost of staple foods and vegetables reached their highest levels in
two years, with scientists predicting further widespread droughts and
floods.
Although food stocks are generally good despite much of this year's
harvests being wiped out in Pakistan and Russia, sugar and rice remain at
a record price.
Global wheat and maize prices recently jumped nearly 30% in a few weeks
while meat prices are at 20-year highs, according to the key Reuters-
Jefferies commodity price indicator. Last week, the US predicted that
global wheat harvests would be 30m tonnes lower than last year, a 5.5%
fall. Meanwhile, the price of tomatoes in Egypt, garlic in China and bread in
Pakistan are at near-record levels.
"We may not get to the prices of 2008 but this time they could stay high
much longer."
However, opinions are sharply divided over whether these prices signal a
world food crisis like the one in 2008 that helped cause riots in 25
27
countries, or simply reflect volatility in global commodity markets as
countries claw their way through recession.
Rodney D. Soto, medical doctor for the Younger You Institute in Santa
Rosa Beach, recently started testing and treating patients in relation to
high levels of volatile solvents in the blood stream that he says may be
linked to BP’s oil spill in the Gulf.

Mount Anak Krakatau in Sunda Strait of Indonesia has erupted with over
200 explosions a day, unleashing hot ash by up to 1,700 meters high and
poisonous gas, officials said on Wednesday.
At night time, a gigantic flaring magma exited from the crater and came
down to the slope, said Anton Tripambudi, observer at the Anak Krakatau
monitoring post in Banten province told Xinhua by phone.
