Rick Warren to Stage Jonas Brothers at Easter Service

By Ingrid Schlueter

The news reports today that Rick Warren is bringing the hot boy band, the Jonas Brothers, to perform for his “Easter Service” that is expected to draw an audience of 50,000. Reportedly, the Jonas Brothers are coming to entertain at the “Easter Service” because they are good role models. So what might the brothers sing in celebration of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the grave? Perhaps this number celebrating lust entitled “Burnin’ Up” is just the ticket.

Rick Warren is engaging in public blasphemy by holding a flesh-filled show on the day dedicated to rejoicing in the victory of the Lord Jesus Christ over sin, death and hell. Everything we have ever said about the man-centeredness of the Purpose Driven movement is embodied in this desecration and public mockery of Resurrection Day. The Jonas Brothers, regardless of their anointing by neo-evangelicals as good role models, exemplify nothing but lust, flesh and worldliness. Scripture tells us the following:

For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
–Romans 8:5-8

Rick Warren has put man on the altar and his followers are bowing low before their god. Rick has sown to the flesh in his ministry and is, of the flesh, reaping corruption. Little more needs to be said.
