June 8, 2004 journal, big G 8 on Sea Island, Promise Keepers
movement under scrutiny by fundamentalists layman and ministers that accuse
Promise Keepers of secular humanism. There is a mountain of opposition posted
on the Web against Promise Keepers when you search. Most of the sites say it is a macho men thing
to do in religion. Promise keepers seem
to be a good thing at first teaching men to respect their wives and be the head
of the house, to remain faithful and pure keeping the marriage vows and returning
a Bible family. The fast growing movement of men is now accused of being too
ecumenical, it has the support of James Dobson of Focus on the Family and
Campus Crusade for Christ along with many other prominent people and
organizations. Promise Keepers reaches
out to Catholics and seem to have a man-made humanistic agenda in their
Love-Fest meetings. Today is Election Day and hopefully the assault on the
citizens of this state will cease. One more thing I remember about Reagan is
that he recognized the Vatican as a State and
sent an ambassador to the seat of the beast with the blessings of
"Reverend" Billy Graham. I do not approve of this message in
recognizing the Vatican as the official
world religion. The news indicates that the G 8 meeting on Sea Island is on behalf of
the world economy. "The promise keeper’s movement is dangerous--watch out
for it! By M H Reynolds, editor Foundation Magazine Vol
XVI-1, issue 1-Fundamental Evangelistic Association P.O. box 6278, Los Osos, Ca. 93412. A new man's movement called Promise Keepers
is sweeping our nation like wildfire. Is
this of God or man? Will this solve the problems of those who have embraced its
principles and teachings or will it compound those problems? Can a Biblical answer be given to those important
questions now, or is it best to withhold judge-ment
until a later time? Obviously, some very
conflicting views already exist as to the basis, problems, benefits and goals
of the Promise Keepers movement. This
report is based upon the actual words of its leaders made in public meetings,
contained in press releases that are printed in books, magazines and articles
which have either been published or endorsed by leaders of the Promise Keepers
movement. It is obvious that this move-ment is superbly organized and has tremendous financial
resources at its disposal. The way it has caught on since its foundation in 1990,
and its ambitious plans for expansion in the future, require our immediate
response and warning. Most pastors and
other individuals have so far heard only good reports about it. Even though some have questions and a feeling
of uneasiness concerning it, they have had little or no opportunity to examine
it carefully. While it is true that most
if not all of the major evangelical and charismatic leaders are praising, supporting
and participating in Promise Keepers, that, in itself is no guarantee that its
principles, practices and goals are in accord with the scriptures. Having personally read every word of the book,
7 promises of a Promise Keeper, as well as all the latest press releases and
many of the other articles, we have come to the inescapable con-clusion that this movement represents another massive
effort of Satan to mix truth and error in some very deceptive ways. Therefore, we do not hesitate to give the
strongest possible warning now concerning the dangers of the Promise Keepers
movement. Our reasons will be clearly
stated and properly documented from original sources so that God's people may be
able to see for themselves how this new movement is mixing truth with
error. If for no other reason, Promise Keepers
movement is dangerous because it promotes an unscriptural agenda of forging a
religious unity which is absolutely forbidden in God’s Word (2 Cor. 6:14-7:1; Ephesians 5:11. Its founder and several of its leaders are
part of the charismatic movement which is a major catalyst in efforts to bring
about fellowship”.
