RE: Check into his bank accounts, bit coins, real estate holdings, portfolios, etc.
It is no secret that Rick Warren is a multi-millionaire. His Book “The Purpose Driven Life” alone has sold over 60 million copies.
And that’s just ONE BOOK. Warren has written numerous other best selling books.
To this day, I have a hard time with how many churches just jumped on that band wagon.
The agnostics try to claim Thomas Jefferson as one of their own based on some of his allegedly anti-religion statements. But if you really study the man and his writings, you come away realizing he was a deeply religious man who simply didn't care for the business plans of people like Rick Warren.
May as well replace a liberal with a liberal. Warren is a leading proponent of Chrislam and per the article is ordaining women pastors
Thomas Jefferson like John Adams held to the unitarian low view of christ.
That low view of christ—that Jesus is just a man—albeit a very good man—but still just a man...—has been the death of western civilization.
Why?
Because it changes the central mystery of Christianity of the reconciliation of God to man (and man to God) into a mere human sacrifice.
That is the worst.
Why?
Because people who have the low view of Christ remain dead in their sin.
As st paul put it
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
15
More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.
16
For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
17
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
18
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.
19
If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.
1 Corinthians 15
His appearing as the ‘moderator’ of the BO/opposing
candidate debate (several years ago) put this man on my ‘list’. “The Purpose Driven Life”, indeed!
The church should form a pulpit committee and let the Spirit lead them to who should replace this guy.
If, as you suggest, the Spirit is going to make the selection, why form a committee?
They need to pray and ask for guidance. Otherwise just take religion out of the process and treat it like other positions.
