Focus on the Family Yokes with Apostates?

Way of Life’s Church News Notes reports that Focus on the Family is scheduled to join the apostasy party at the Crystal Cathedral in January.
“H. B. London of Focus on the Family is scheduled to join hands with heretic Robert Schuller in a “Rethink” conference at the Crystal Cathedral in January 2008. The conference will bring together “30 influential thinkers” to “deliver cutting edge ideas about the ever-changing world.” The 2,500 conference attendees are expected to be joined by tens of thousands of simulcast viewers. Speakers include Robert Schuller; who has redefined the gospel according to his heretical self-esteem theology; Chuck Colson one of the founders of Evangelicals and Catholics Together; Dan Kimball and Erwin McManusof the deeply unscriptural Emerging Church movement; H.B. London, Jr. of Focus on the Family; Kay Warren, wife the Purpose Driven Life guru; Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation and purveyor of pornography; Larry King, an agnostic; Lee Strobel, George Barna, John Townsend, Gary Smalley, Jay Sekulow, and Henry Cloud. Rethink conference speaker McManus says, “We need to know where things are going so we can get there first” (www.rethinkconference.com).
In fact, the Bible believer knows exactly where things are going and how things will turn out, and he is not dependent upon the “insights” of the unregenerate and of false teachers. Beware, friends, these are the blind leading the blind.”
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20). “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness” (2 Corinthians 6:14).

Hmmm. $300+ per seat… to listen to various emergent church leaders blather on about “…confronting outdated and pre-conceived ideas, offer new perspectives and open our minds to all kinds of possibilities that connect us with out shifting culture.” (gag) Since when did “taking up the cross” become “outdated” and “preconceived”? The only good thing about this conference is that it might reveal some things about the “vanguard” of the EV movement in the USA….

We are to be “wise as serpents” yet harmless as doves. We ask for wisdom so that we can pray and ask the LORD to intervene in such matters. Only He is truly Wise, after all, and only He can overcome the powers of darkness.
I heard an advertisement on a Christian radio station that said Focus On the Family is teaming up with Catholic priests to conduct marriage seminars. Some in the Reformed community believe that James Dobson’s ministry has placed cultural morality over against the Gospel.
