The
author of the above article would be considered "left wing"
politically. And yet people who are "right wing" or
"libertarian" ought to have similar concerns if they truly
respect the U.S. Constitution.
Followers
of the Lord Jesus Christ should face up to the true nature of the
political leaders of this world system.

A Leader Shows Up On the Scene
Schuller Inherits Crystal Cathedral from Father
[From an article in the Los Angeles
Times, USA, Jan. 2, 2005, By Dan Weikel and William Lobdell, Times Staff

Robert H. Schuller, 79, protégé of the late Norman
Vincent Peale (33rd Degree Freemason) has turned over the reigns of power
to his son, Robert A. Schuller, 51, as clergyman of the Crystal Cathedral
in Garden Grove, California.
"The Rev. Billy Graham said in a statement that the
younger Schuller "is a great communicator and will more than fill his
father's shoes."" (according to the article.)
Known for his "Possibility Thinking" form of
Positive Thinking and his gospel of Self-Esteem, the senior Schuller has
promoted seeker-friendly mega-churches for decades.
""The Crystal Cathedral has been very much based
and rooted in a personality," Miller said. "The congregation
will see the father in the son. But in the long term, as the father's
influence and memory fades, he's going to have to make it on his
own."
"Yet, it is possible for the sons of great ministers to continue the
work of their fathers, and even flourish. At Lakewood Church in Houston,
Pastor Joel Osteen expanded the congregation from 6,000 to 30,000, making
it the largest church in the nation, after his father died in 1999."
The grandson, Robert V. Schuller, is at Fuller Seminary
and is expected to help his father with his new duties.

Cult Leader Expels Critics

"In Colorado City, meanwhile, recent fissures
within the group have led to theories that its leader and
self-proclaimed prophet, Warren
Jeffs, may be searching for a new home for many of his estimated 6,000
followers. Jeffs, said by former church members to have more than 30
wives, recently expelled more than a dozen men from the sect
over their criticism of his leadership."
