No one here is out to "Crucify" Rick Warren, but only to expose his philosophy. Big difference. Recently, Rick Warren appeared on live national TV on Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" program. He was on for approximately 4 minutes, which gave him ample time to explain his views. He never mentioned Jesus Christ or Salvation one single time. That alone is offensive for a man who says he wants to reach the lost.
I would emphasize Jesus more, probably.
But I'm not Rick's Boss. God is. And Rick is greatly successful at the path GOD HAS LAID BEFORE HIM.
Rick believes the basics. Rick teaches the basics. Rick leads 10's of thousands into lasting Salvation relationships with Jesus. I'm not about to throw rocks at that.
I can't imagine God saying anything else but WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT to Rick.
It just struck me
we've been able to maintain a good attitude--I think--toward one another on issues that typically get threads pulled and people banned in a certain other forum.
One big difference is we are not in that forum.
I wonder . . . is that forum afflicted with demonic spirits that pollute virtually everything that goes on there?
Just a thought that went through.
Rick was not there to preach a sermon .. he was there to talk about his book. The book has PLENTY OF REFERENCES to Jesus. Your offence at Rich is PERSONAL - and it's offensive to me.
