Good. This guy was way too influential for what he taught.
When looking for a new pastor, and ‘staff doesn’t know what that looks like’...you know you had problems, and you’re going to have more problems in the very near future.
I’ve always thought that a good leader would have some sort of a succession plan in place. He’s been there for 40 years; he doesn’t have anyone waiting in the wings?
Purpose driven life book was pure rubbish, I was at a bible study and the leader pulled that out and said we were going to be studying that. I pointed out the issues, and nobody wanted to listen because it was from the famous “pastor”, I just got up and left.
I’m sure he’ll be replaced by a liberal who will divert funds to causes of “justice” and drive the place into the ground after sucking it dry.
It sounds like he found a “Purpose Driven Life.”
Cynicism levels very high on this thread. Its almost like some FReepers were robbed at gun point by Rick Warren himself. I personally never met the man or attended his church, but I did read his books, and I had no problem with his message.
Check into his bank accounts, bit coins, real estate holdings, portfolios, etc.
How many MILLIONS while kids all over the world are starving.
