Oh exactly- I agree. We are told to expect that we will be brought to our knees and cry out to God. I agree.
But the people who mouth prayers- and pay no respect to the teachings of Jesus, are simply paying lip service.
Rick Warren, for example, can pray for whatever he wants to pray for- but those prayers are going to fall flat.
Know why?
Because he blasphemes the Lord all of the time- while he spreads false hope and teachings and reaps huge praise and benefits.
The Lord is not mocked.
And I pray Rick Warren repents and falls to his knees and cries out- to the Lord and repents and turns toward God.
And God will hear him and forgive him. No doubt. But he has to take the steps everyone else has to take.
I am not going to lie about it.
I am so not a fan of rick Warren...I have my suspicians when people make a lot of money on preaching...not all of them...but his Media Ego was so over the top.
having said that, maybe God uses people in a way that I can’t fathom...so I try to leave it up to God (even though I do rant on about it.ha)

I really don’t know who Rick is so would someone give me the background on him? I have noticed several FReepers weight in a dislike for him as a preacher. What exactly is the deal? Thanks.
