WELCOME TO 2010! Dear Saddleback Family,
You won't want to miss this weekend at Saddleback! It will be history-making and also the first service of our Decade of Destiny. I can't wait to share with you what happened this week.
It speaks volumes about YOU, the depth of commitment in this fellowship, and where God is taking us in 2010 - our 30th Anniversary year. I'm simply calling this week's message "The Miracle".
In spite of a media culture that thrives on bad news and is typically clueless about how churches actually work, and in spite of hatefulness and insults by some who immediately jumped to wrong conclusion - the church of God marches on, and once again God surprises all of us! I am humbled to have been your pastor for 30 years. See you this weekend.
Pastor Rick

As a member of Saddleback Church I knew that the members would all pull together and "Get-R-Done for God".

I wouldn’t give an affiliation of pastor Rick’s 50 cents. Somthing about the guy and some of his positions strike me as off, but thats my opinion.

Yep. And as far as I’m concerned that’s “scripture” with these mega-church phonies.

Rick Warren isn't good enough to get the sweat off my behind. He is a fraud and a disgrace. His “god” is NOT my God. Maybe, his abortion buddy, Obama, slipped him some stimulus money out of his slush fund. Or maybe Rick will go with him to Africa again and offer birth control and abortions to stem the tide of aids. Warrne put MONEY over principles.

I honestly hoped that people in his congregation had more sense than this.

Liberal followers like Warren and his “church” aren't known to be too bright. This certainly gives credence to that idea. They're dumber than dumb.

Troy our pastor went to one of those Saddleback “church growth/marketing” conferences and since we have adopted the Church of Laodicia’s church model or the “seeker” movement strategies that Rick teaches, our church’s attendance has gone from 3,000 to 1,500 and have a ton of debt. Thanks Rick for spreading your social gospel to the world!
We are in the political and spiritual mess we are in because the Church is not being the Church. We are trying to be like everyone else and doing a fine job accomplishing it.

To: Dick Bachert
Yeah, his PURPOSE was to have a works driven salvation. So you too can have a “purpose”. Be like the follower that made the news. Remember the woman who had a criminal turn himself in after he I think shot and killed someone? She got out Rick Warren's books and had a “heart to heart talk” with him as shared SHARED HER CRACK with him. High, he turned himself in. She credited Warren for her “change”. LOL!!! Sharing ILLEGAL drugs made her “feel good” and gave her a “purpose”. There was no change in the “heart” but the “APPEARANCE” of change is all he seeks as he solicits money and more fame from you. Warren and his books are a scam. Warren doesn't preach Christianity.

The answer to that question was self-evident. They were members of that congregation.

That woman saved her own life and stopped a guy on a killing spree, you don’t need to denigrate that happening to make a point.

I got lucky when someone gave me one as a gift. I read enough to know the only "purpose" this book would serve was as a coaster for my coffee mug as I read my Bible.
