Let’s see
The Truth of the Word of God
OR
the fame and notoriety of being inaugural pastor....
hmmm... hard choice, eh?
Amen to that, but it’s this sort of “shifting sands” (in terms of thinking and the Word of God, per what gets out on the media and the “image” that a pastor wants to put forth) — that affects many of these pastors (in a negative way, I think) who are either “making a name” for themselves, or keeping a name for themselves, or want to keep getting in more and more people into their congregations...
I haven’t been a fan of Rick Warren long before this, even though he does have his Christian supporters. I’m just not one of them, because he seems to not be wholly truthful about what he does in a lot of what he puts out to the media.
If I get into any more of this, it will bog this post down, bigtime... LOL..
