"dumbing it down" is equivalent to heresy
I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone should add to these things, God will add unto him the plagues having been written in this book. 19And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, of those having been written in this book.
John, Revelation 22:18-19

John MacArthur Withdraws Endorsement of Greg Laurie’s Harvest Crusade
How did John MacArthur’s “endorsement” end up on Laurie’s site to begin with, only to be later removed by JMac’s request? It appears that since Laurie has lost his own credibility with MacArthur, that he’s attempted to hijack MacArthur’s credibility–ostensibly against his will.

Fed up with false teaching: Calvary Chapel church says “So Long” to the CC Association
Calvary Chapel pastor who warned of false teachings and apostate movements seeping into the Calvary Chapel organization has been removed from his regional leadership position, and is now removing his local congregation out of the Calvary Chapel Association altogether.
These eyebrow-raising concerns have not gone unnoticed by news outlets and other Christian groups. In particular:
Greg Laurie’s endorsements of the Azusa anniversary and teaming up with NAR’s Lou Engle Catholic mystic Roma Downey, Introducing Contemplative Advocates Gungor and David Crowder, and leading a Joint worship with a Catholic Priest.
Laurie’s endorsement of Calvary Chapel pastor Steve Berger’s book “Have Heart” containing false teaching about necromancy which the bible prohibits;

The Facts Behind My Departure from Calvary Chapel
By many accounts, the conference was deemed to be a watershed. A panel discussion one afternoon about Calvary basics ended up in a free-for-all. Greg Laurie led the way with Bob Coy in stand-up comedy. Things got serious when Greg Laurie chastised pastors for not participating in Harvest Crusades just because of his desire to be linked with Purpose globalist pastor, Rick Warren. The only pastor who seemed to be in favor of studying the Bible instead of someone’s book was Mike Macintosh.
Many pastors left the meeting with a heavy heart. Mine was so heavy I decided to pack up my book table one afternoon and stay at my hotel. Later that evening while at the hotel, my cell phone started to ring. The messages were all the same sentiment: “You cannot believe what just happened!” one pastor from South Carolina cried out.
“This is heresy!” said another in an excited voice.
“What has happened to Calvary? Have we been seduced by the Jesuits?” asked another who called me. All this commotion was because pastor Jon Corson, who was to perform the communion service at the end of the meeting, turned it into a eucharistic-style service. I discuss this more fully in the next chapter.

FOX 11 Investigates: Could a Wyoming priest abuse case impact NE Wisconsin Catholics?
Before coming to Green Bay, Ricken was Bishop of Cheyenne in 2002. He was a brand-new bishop. Among his first duties was to address an allegation of sexual abuse against his predecessor, Bishop Emeritus Joseph Hart, involving a 14-year-old boy in 1977.
Ricken spoke with Hart at the time of the accusation and found him to be innocent.

Bishop apologizes for priests' sex abuse
HEYENNE - Catholic Bishop David Ricken Monday apologized to the church's Wyoming members for 14 cases in which church priests sexually molested children.
"I apologize to all those who have been victimized, either directly or indirectly, by priests who have abused children," the bishop said at a press conference here. The comments are contained in a letter Ricken has written to the roughly 50,000 Catholics in Wyoming.
Ricken said that the Wyoming Catholic church has documented 14 cases in which priests engaged in sexual misconduct with children since 1950, including one case just last year.
Ricken's predecessor, retired Bishop Joseph Hart, has been named in a civil lawsuit filed in Missouri alleging that he sexually molested three children while he was bishop in Wyoming and as a priest in the Diocese of Kansas City.

Greg Laurie Mentored by Lonnie Frisbee
Lonnie Frisbee, who impressed Smith with his charisma. Frisbee was a long-haired, radical hippie and Jesus look-a-like who mentored the likes of Harvest Crusade’s Greg Laurie. Frisbee’s Jesus-like locks, and his connections to the hippie world meant growth for Calvary Chapel.
'''Comments made about Laurie on this article'
>Levi Lusko’s heretical associations, given that Calvary still hosts Levi, and promotes his material. Levi is a good friend to all things Calvary Chapel as well as Greg Laurie and others.
>Greg Laurie stood a women up and called her a “donkey’s ass” for wanting to leave her husband who was molesting the children.
>Laurie, Broderson, Ries, Heitzig, etc. are all liked up and promoting the Hillsong agenda; Greg Laurie now a TBN regular.
>I used to work for Greg Laurie in the early 90’s and overheard him and another Pastor talking about the headcount of one of the services and them having to pass around another tithe & offering because it wasn’t meeting their quota….He lives in Irvine and has a luxurious home and car and keeps on building bigger buildings and getting more people to come to his church (through his false teaching and funny stories) to give more money. He also use to get things in the mail that were written sermons that he and other pastors used to teach from so they didn’t have to do their own.

Who is Lonnie Frisbee
Lonnie Ray Frisbee (June 6, 1949 – March 12, 1993) was an American Charismatic evangelist and self-described "seeing prophet" in the late 1960s and 1970s.[1][2] He maintained a hippie appearance and struggled with homosexuality (according to his own report).[3][4] He was notable as a minister and evangelist in the signs and wonders movement of the 1970s and 1980s.
…. Both churches later disowned him because of his active sexual life, removing him first from leadership positions, then ultimately, firing him.[5] He was shunned and "written out of the official histories."[11] As part of his ostracism from his former churches, his work was diminished and maligned. Frisbee forgave those who tried to discredit him before his death from AIDS in 1993.[5]

Greg Laurie had early connections with Lonnie Frisbee, [remember Lonnie Frisbee who admitted he became a "christian" via LSD?
