That, simply put, is his message. Give your life to God, help others, spread the word.
Serving others is worthy whatever the motive. I sure hope that Pastor Warren leads people to Christ in such a way so people do not get confused that they think they are earning their way to heaven.
Not always the case. If you're expecting some sort of kickback I would call that somewhat less than sincere.
No, I'm not an anti-capitalist.
Warren said he sees religious institutions as more powerful forces than governments for solving the world's problems.
Ok...
"I would trust any imam or priest or rabbi to know what is going on in a community before I would any government agency."
OK...How about Bin Laden?
But, powerful as churches can be in working for the powerless, they can't succeed without governments and nongovernmental organizations, Warren said.
He just disavowed the entire New Testament. Which is it? He's talking out of both sides of his mouth. First churches are more powerful than Government, then they aren't.
He's toeing the Jim Wallis line, can't you see that?
Hamas is loved by many Palestinians because they are known for their service to the poor, etc. And I really don't think you want to say that what Hamas stands for is worthy. :(
