[Faith-talk] Rick Warren Books

[Alan Wheeler]

This reminds me of the passage in 2 Timothy. For some reason, hearing all
this talk about Rick Warren made me think of that term "itching ears."
Here's the passage:

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great
number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 
2 Timothy 4:3

i'd have to say i agree with you, i think he has the idea like many folks
today that the more enclusive we are the more folks we will bring to Christ.

i did not like his paraphrasing and i was very uncomfortable with some of
his teachings. i am one though who does not like going with whatever fad is
going on in the church so i kind f waited til the hype about the books was
over.

I would not recommend them, if you are a Christian who wants to stick with
the Bible. He has some very ecumenical ideas, and the Bible says that
Christians should be separate from the world. He uses many passages from a
paraphrase of the Bible, rather than a translation. And, why should we be
purpose-driven? We should be in God's will, and that does not drive!

We studied The Purpose-Driven Life in the church I attended in Wisconsin
before moving here to Nebraska. I purchased it on CD, and wished I hadn't;
but I needed it for Sunday School. I left it there! So, yes, read them
before you buy them.
Of course, if you read them from BARD, you can keep them if you want. I was
uncomfortable with a lot of his teachings and approaches. That wass over 7
years ago now, so I don't remember what particularly. I'm conservative and
"old-fashioned", and I didn't like his modern ways.

Just my two cents.

Blessings,

Linda
