I just checked MinistryWatch.com which is a reliable resource for reliable and unreliable church ministries. Unfortunately they've yet to add Rick Warren and his church but plan on doing so in the future.

Nice to hear all of you with the “ Milk of Human Kindness” pouring from from your heart. It has nothing to do with Obamma,it has to do with 10% of their congregation being being unemployed. I hope all of you have a very prosperous 2010.

Really? They have thousands of congregants and they live paycheck-to-paycheck?

I don’t believe it. Something screwy is going on.

Maybe God's purpose for Saddleback is to die. It would be the best thing that could happen for Christianity since the death of Nero.

[mplsconservative]

I agree. I don’t belong to a church and while I’d like to, none seem to “fit.”

I noticed that Pastor Warren was in the front row, next to Will Smith and Jada Pinket, at the recent Nobel Peace prize awards. I wonder how much it cost to go there?

That’s nice if they actually manage to do an unemployment dole. I think Salvation Army takes less off the top, though.

You might be happier in a little congregation where you pretty well know everybody by the second or third visit.

Don’t think he would want to be part of the Kingdom and then go about killing Christians after Christ’s reply.....Paul was trained to be a Jewish lawyer (educated in the Scriptures)..he was not a rich young ruler..

Rick Warren’s church was not always a mushy brand of Christianity. Many of his early congregants were former members of the local Presbyterian church, who left when the Presbyterians began to ordain women. Yes, women, on top of the fact that the local Presbyterian minister got a divorce. The women at Warren’s church were the ones that campaigned against the mention of witches and fairy tales in school books and against action figures that they claimed were Satanic. Oh, and I knew some of them that didn’t allow rock and roll music in the house or car.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The question would be, a ruler of what. Not in the secular governmental sense, but Paul would be considered a maven of mavens in Jewish circles. His views would have great clout in matters of expected religious practice. Think the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

God is One who provides. Have you forgotten?

Absolute turn off and red flag when a pastor asks for money.

[DB]

I wouldn’t donate a dime to a church that won’t make it finances public.

[AliVeritas]

That’s above my paygrade.

I have no silver or gold, but i’ll continue to pray for him... and not for money, but his soul.

[ModelBreaker]

“Some speculate the rich young ruler was the future Apostle Paul.”

Never heard that before. Is there any scriptural basis or is it just speculation?

Ax Baraq fo’ some TARP......

[ntnychik]

Yep, McLame and Warren gave 0bama legitimacy when it was most needed.

[HiTech RedNeck]

When one this rich makes the pitch (I’m a poet and I don’t know it, I rhyme every time) then askance looks are understandable. Why didn’t he just go to his own pocket?

But church giving to other Christians is as old as biblical days. It’s hard to imagine how this gets organized if the pastor stays out of it.
