Evidence? Where does Rick Warren, ever, ONCE say that? All of you need to quit this kind of slander against a brother. You would do well to take Gamaliel's advice, and if you don't agree with him, shut up. If he's not "of God," then your assistance won't be needed. If he is, then not a thing you can do or say will stop him and, indeed, will only hurt you.
Thank you for standing up to divisions within the body.
These charges of slander are reminiscent of the $cientologistS who sue every time they get criticized. Rick Warrent is not my brother. He doesn't even know which Bible to use.
All Rick believes in is Rick. Dissenters must be removed from the PD church.
Sounds like he and Kim have a lot in common.
Well said.
But we know how well the RELIGIOUIS PhD's of Jesus' dusty pathed days took Gamaliel's advice.
Some things never change, much.

There is no organization or government that can effectively eradicate these giants. The only successful solution is the global Church of Jesus Christ.
From http://www.thepeaceplan.com/
P.E.A.C.E. can empower and equip each member of a local church to address these global giants in a holistic manner throughout their local community (Jerusalem), nearby communities (Judea), regional area crossing cultural barriers (Samaria), and globally (to the entire world). T his will be done by carrying out sustainable and reproducible actions of P.E.A.C.E.
P.E.A.C.E. is not a church program for a few "specialists." The P.E.A.C.E. Plan is a lay movement, designed to mobilize average church members to do normal tasks that can change the world.
P.E.A.C.E. is a grassroots church to church strategy, helping churches around the world to make a difference together. Through P.E.A.C.E., local congregations will become the heroes. Because of their location, motivation, longevity, and credibility, local churches are the only grassroots organization that can effectively address the five evil giants.
I dunno but to me that sounds like he thinks his plan can make churches change the world. And what is this, making the local congregation the hero? Just who IS supposed to be the "hero?" Is any man or group of humans supposed to be anyone's hero?
He's got BIG plans...
Rick Warren on Nightline 2-6-2006
Most people set their goals too small and they try to achieve them too quickly. Set your goals high and spend the rest of your life trying to achieve them.
Me, I'll settle for the mediocre goal of giving a glass of water to one of these 'little ones' that have been dragged half to death behind the purpose driven runaway horse.
