To quote Rick Warren
“If your church has been plateaued for six months, it might take six months to get it going again. If it’s been plateaued a year, it might take a year. If it’s been plateaued for 20 years, you’ve got to set in for the duration! I’m saying some people are going to have to die or leave.
Moses had to wander around the desert for 40 years while God killed off a million people before he let them go into the Promised Land. That may be brutally blunt, but it’s true. There may be people in your church who love God sincerely, but who will never, ever change.”
So how can we apply this principle to saddleback church as a whole? Maybe they just have to wither away, or maybe people like Rick should just leave and let a real pastor take over, (not likely even if he did leave) since they aren’t open to correction by the brethren.
