Interview with Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Life author)

[Frumanchu]

See post 18 (which was composed before reading your #16).

And I fully recognized the flame-bait nature of your post. I simply ascribe it to a lack of self-control.

Have a nice day, Pastor.

[rwfromkansas]

It is good that he doesn't hog the money for himself, unlike others like Joyce Meyer etc.

I think the guy has a true heart for God, but he just plays too sloppy with Scripture.

[DarthVader]

"or perhaps persecution is nearing"

There may be civil war approaching.

[rwfromkansas]

will pm you later today sometime....don't have the time now, but will get to it.

[Frumanchu]

I agree.

[AD from SpringBay]

...that our ultimate purpose is to do his will, not our own purposes.

A forgotten idea it seems, back when serving the Lord wasn't seen as a mix & match personal fulfillment buffet.

I loved the book at first, it gave me a good shove.

I need to read it again...the one thing that nagged at me as I read through it was that the book makes you put so much focus on yourself....that I got to a point where I thought it was catering to the introspective crowd. Now I really think it was more my viewpoint at that period in life than the book itself.

After seeing Warren in a couple of interviews and reading this interview, I think it was more me than him..HA! I am going to dig it out and read it again.

Thank you.

and your #12 is full of "self control" ?

you have a blessed day, child of God

[didi]

You should not be eating doritos at this time of day.
love,
Mom

[Revelation 911]

You should not be eating doritos at this time of day. love, Mom

You are a sweetheart, but im 43 now mom and it's 10 o'clock break time......

[Frumanchu]

and your #12 is full of "self control" ?

Actually it was intended to point out the obvious flame-bait. And you're right...I just couldn't resist pointing it out ;)

(BTW, I hear petroleum jelly will help with the burn in your nostrils)

Be blessed, Pastor.

This book has many dangerous ideas.

You've read it then?

FWIW, I have.

While it's certainly not deep, I found nothing I'd consider "dangerous."

It's a book. It's not the Bible. It's not a theological treatise. What's dangerous is taking it to either extreme. Good or bad.

[P-Marlowe]

But, I won't praise a book that has other errors despite the overall good that may come from it.

Other than the bible, what other book is free from errors?

I often hear you praise Calvin's work. Is Calvin's work infallible? Spurgeon? Piper? Sproul? MacArthur? Augustine?

And speaking of the Bible, which translation, if any, is free from errors? And indeed, which manuscripts are free from errors?

That's a pretty high standard you have there RW. What books have you praised lately?

[didi]

Chicken, rice, yellow squash and salad.
Behave, now, and there better be some chunks of apple in with those doritos next time.

[P-Marlowe]

This book has many dangerous ideas.

Many?

Really?

Name two.
