It isn't just his celebrity that's packin' weight.

Yes but will you get it out?
Gotta love the "megachurches". So pious, just like Jesus woulda wanted...
Define "Good News."
It isn't just his celebrity that's packin' weight.
I am not a Rick Warren apologist. I know of him, however, I have not read any of his books or heard him speak. Having said that, let's not stand back her and cast stones at him as many did in yesterday's Rick Warren post.
I'll refrain from detailed comment, but I share the idea that the Good News should go out to all. Health people do not need a physician.
Look out, Jesse Jackson, here comes Rick Warren - and never mind little colored bracelets, Warrne has Hawaiian shirts!
Was that a serious request or sarcasm?
Assuming you were serious, the word "gospel" means "good news." The gospel/good news is defined succinctly in I Cor. 15:1-7. " . . .that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..."
Godspeed to Warren and any other Christian willing to visit a part of the world desperately in need of the good news he teaches.
Rick Warren is done. Ding!
I enjoyed Rick's book as much as the next guy. But when he starts interfering in the foreign affairs of our country, he can expect some pointed criticism.
Perhaps RW is planning another book - with islam in mind - could call it "The Purpose Driven Death"?
Remember, Jesus preached to 5000.
It was sarcasm. I don't finger Warren specifically, but I have seen how some congregations have taken to his "purpose driven" message, and it would appear from what they take from his books, the "Good News" is that any church can and should have a membership of 10,000 people.
I wonder at the pounding Warren is getting based solely on statements by Syria's government-run propaganda outlet. His people have vehemently denied almost everything the Syrians reported.
We are not so quick to believe our own media, why should we take anything from a totalitarian state's official propaganda organ at face value?
Sounds like he wants to be a celebrity more than anything, just another narcissist.
Yes, and he did it without a multi-million dollar campus, high-tech audio-visuals, contemporary "worship" music, or a media empire.
In the context of this charlatan, that's easy.
...Democrats won [back] both houses.
Warren is a good man. That being said, there are real problems with some of his beliefs and theology.
LOL
What did his Muslim neighbor say to him that prompted this trip? It certainly wasn't that Muslims don't believe in Jesus Christ as their Saviour for we all know that. So what made him go to Syria?
