But at least he believes his life has a Purpose.

''In fact,'' Warren added, ''as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and Oxford Analytica, I might know as much about the Middle East as you.''
Oh, that qualification is going to go over great with the global conspiracy crowds....
I'm not such a Farah fan, nor do I get into church squabbles, but the first coupla paragraphs were very well written.
It's still not too late to learn to NOT LISTEN to what totalitarians say you said.
Pastors who think they can venture into politics and remain "neutral" are unspeakbly naive.
Warren lost me when he said God doesnt want Christians to be wealthy in Newsweek I think.
Rick Warren has crossed over the line to being an enemy of the body of Christ.
If anyone on FR goes to his church, you should leave, and begin working out your salvation with fear and trembling.

Yes, and it also tells me that this man, held up by so many, is half a bubble off plumb.
But at least he believes his life has a Purpose.
The Syrian thing ... I figure you can't believe anything out of Syria, and Joseph Farah's got his own Agenda-Driven Life.
But inviting Barack Obama to speak at his church is pure poison.
Any "Scripture" that includes "live-birth abortion" is straight from Satan. I've been completely neutral on Mr. Warren up until now - many nice people I know have found his books helpful - but one has to assume he's flipped when he invited Obama into his pulpit.
But at least he believes his life has a Purpose.
***Warren went to Syria and could find no persecution of Christians. He could find no persecution of Jews. He could find no evidence of extremism. ***
And Walter Duranty found perfection in the USSR in the 1920's and '30's.
Maybe Warren will get a Pulitzer also.
A little power, a little money, a little politics. Always thought everyone should own their own church.
God wants us to prosper. He's the one who gives wealth. I don't believe in the name it and claim it kind of prosperity but when your soul prospers, you prosper in many different ways, even financially. Christians who are wealthy should be sharing that with others in need. I wish I could do more to send kids who want to be missionaries. Since I can no longer go anywhere like that, I feel it's important to help send those who can. It's not money that's the problem. It's your attitude about it and what you do that counts.
BTW-Where are all the Warren supporters these days?
Hitler had a purpose driven life, if I recall....
You know, it's quite a statement about one's priorities (and discernment) that so many previously refused to abandon Warren when he was promoting bad theology and lousy exegesis - and so many have withdrawn support from the good ship Saddleback, now that Warren is out promoting politically/socially liberal causes and personalities.
