Actually Rick doesn’t believe in “fundamentals”.

That's an interesting statement. I was actually unaware people other than God knew what others believed. Here are some notes from Warren's Purpose Driven Life book: click.

A statement of faith means nothing if you don’t put it into practice.

Now there's a statement with which I can heartily agree.

People are being led down the wide path, over the cliff & straight to hell.

There's another interesting statement. I was actually unaware people other than God knew who was going "straight to hell." For myself, I don't pretend to know the hearts of others.

We will pray. But we won’t be silent.

I like that and it encourages me greatly. I'd like to encourage you to read 1 Cor 3:1-17.

Appreciate it, but I've seen the book.

Here are some notes from an interview he gave.

"Now the word "fundamentalist" actually comes from a document in the 1920s called the Five Fundamentals of the Faith. And it is a very legalistic, narrow view of Christianity, and when I say there are very few fundamentalists, I mean in the sense that they are all actually called fundamentalist churches, and those would be quite small. There are no large ones…I am an evangelical. I'm not a member of the religious right and I'm not a fundamentalist ...Today there really aren't that many Fundamentalists left; I don't know if you know that or not, but they are such a minority; there aren't that many Fundamentalists left in America." Rick Warren, Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, May 23, 2005

Rick Warren does not teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anyone who thinks they can be saved by Warren's book is going to find they have a problem. My concern is for what's happening to the church & to the people who are following this drivel. That will not change.
