If we are to win the prize that Paul wrote about in Philippians (3:14). We must unite together rather than all this criticizing and useless retoric that I am reading. Do you know Rick Warren? Have you walked in his shoes? It would serve some of you to read these verses:

1. John 8:7 - "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone...

2. Ecc. 4:9-11 - If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

3. John 13:34 - "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

4. Eph. 4:1-3 - "Be humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have an opinion here. But what is your motives? My warning to you against this type of behavior comes from Matthew 12:36, "That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."

I like the way Rick Warren holds Christ and the comments of Jesus
Christ up as the standard for the whole world.
"A man's life does not consist of his toys and stuff, stuff, stuff."
Christ taught clearly. Look at Dr. Luke's quote in the NT of
our Lord Jesus. Warren points us to Jesus, our humble Saviour.

Rick Warren is a typical person who is active in church activity but does not really understand the truth. Simply, he is either a confused religious person or a wolf in sheep clothing.

I would have to say that Rick Warren himself falls into category #4 : "This worldview says it doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong." Concerning his recent trip to Syria he played 'useful idiot' to the sponsors of terror and undermined his own country while he downed the US According to Joseph Farrar of worldnetdaily.com he should be tried for treason and I agree.

Sometimes I just don't understand Rick Warren. I like alot of what he says, yet other things astonish me. In this case, how can he possibly leave out the worldview of 1.6 billion (with a "B") Muslims? At least several hundred thousand of those 1.6 billion desire the destruction of Israel and America. Is that not a competing (and threatening) worldview? Let's be real and open with the dangerous and complex things in our world.

The other thing I don't understand about Rick is how he can write a book like "Purpose-Driven Life" with such a good, practical concept and some Biblical truth but never mention that there is an enemy trying to "steal, kill and destroy" every Godly thing we strive to do. Good planning and goal-setting is not enough to overcome such an enemy, yet there is no acknowledgement of battles in the spiritual realm in that book. I don't "get" that at all.
