Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life?
Wellness Editor Stephanie A. Buist, ND HC, NTEB News Desk — This time of year many churches hop on the band wagon to joining the Rick Warren spearheaded Daniel Fast. Churches promote fasting to change your life for health reasons or for seeking direction in life from God by abstaining from food.I have deep concerns about this fast for Christians. My biggest concern is that Pastor Rick Warren worked with a group of new age doctors to put together this program. The who’s who of wolves seeking to devour the Christian church. These men are not believers. They should not be championed within the church.
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.” ~ Ephesians 5:11
What is it about them that makes them qualified to create a program based on Biblical principles? Nothing! Years ago this would have been thrown out of the church as heresy. But now we embrace it because a bible verse / story was slapped on it, printed by a Christian publisher and away we go.
Dr Mark Hyman, Dr Daniel Aman and Dr Mehmet Oz where the key contributors to the Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life. But these three doctors are part of the new age movement. Dr Hyman is a known Buddhist, Dr Daniel Amen is a New Age psychiatrist who uses kundalini practices in his work, and Dr Mehmet Oz is also deeply into the New Age movement. This blog really spells out the issues with the Daniel Plan and the church. If you still doubt that this is doing harm, check out this personal account of a person who attended the seminar at Saddleback Church when this program was launched. The main message of this program was that we have the power to change and that we need to be part of a community to succeed. This is Agenda 21 / Sustainability and Rick Warren is ushering it into the church. And it is not just with the Daniel Plan. Over the years he has done this through the Purpose Driven Life, Chrislam and so much more. Stunning!
What does the Bible tell us about fasting? We are told to conceal our fasting – to do it in secret. Is that what churches are doing with the Daniel Plan?
