In an example of the power of the dialectical conversion process on even its facilitators, leadership at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church actually thought they could compromise Ingrid Schlueter, talk show host for VCY American Radio Network. Schlueter is a contender for the faith whose shows and website expose the compromise and apostasy in this Laodicean church age.
Using tactic number three in dealing with resisters, 1 Erik Rees of Saddleback Church, on Rick Warren’s behalf, attempted to befriend and involve Schlueter in Saddleback’s upcoming global leadership conference.2 The problem with those leaders slated to speak, as Shlueter has pointed out repeatedly on her radio show and in her website, is that they are almost as harmful to the Church as apostate Rick Warren himself.
Rees offered Schlueter an all-expenses paid trip to California so that she could be absorbed into 2,000 duped fans of Warren’s cancerous growth on Christianity. As an added bonus, Schlueter would even be included in a small group discussion with the wizard himself. All she had to do to receive this special treatment was abide by one condition: remain silent until the end to give the brainwashing and manipulation a chance to take affect.
For an inspiring example of a godly woman standing for Christ and against the kingdoms of this world, readers must read Schlueter’s answer to Rick Warren’s invitation themselves at her website, www.sliceoflaodicea.com.
Mrs. Schlueter will be taking this weekend off from her website to enjoy Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all you women of God who stand firm in the faith and contend for it wherever God has placed you; you are such a blessing to us all.
