He just scratches the surface of Christianity. I never heard him delve into the word, and get deep. Its because, while he's a Christian and a nice guy, I wouldn't consider him an expert on the Bible. I also think MegaChurches alot of times, make Christianity into a fast-food chain. Come in, get your word, and get out. Its sad.
Then you've probably never heard him speak other than sound bites. He is deeply theological and quite well versed in Scripture. The task he is about is as Jesus instructed, "make disciples of all nations". Don't slander a brother, you don't have the facts.
Here this is good let's post it again.Ok bottom line about this mans book and teachings: IT ALL POINTS TO SELF! How can I obtain rightousness? How can I obtain favor with God? How can I just feel better about who I am? (Romans 3:23) "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." If we could help ourselves we would not be in need of a saviour. Only what Christ did at Calvary saves the sinner and sanctifies the believer. Rick Warren is a Liar! Do not buy into his theology it's demonic
erwindale49 - I see you on these posts and see you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. There is no hope for you.
Rick Warren is a lying sack of shit and he just in the church for the money. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. You know this just by listening to him. Get the potatoes out of your ears buttdart and listen closely.
Such brotherly love you have..it's amazing. Perhaps this shows your true character. Warren's not in it for the money, he gives away 90% of what he makes. He is really a humble man and cares for the spread of the Gospel - you can see it in his actions.

Not really. This site is very biased, highly opinionated and ill researched. Only people who want to believe the junk that is there would reference it.
EZEKIEL - you say: "count the number of times he says "purpose" hmmm wonder if he is selling a book? preach the true gospel. ... okay just keep selling your lame book..." Well yes, the Bible is about our PURPOSE on this earth, and yes, Rick wrote a book about our purpose, which is an important avenue in reaching out to people. He gives all profits back to the church and to programs that feed the hungry and spread the word. Do some research on this subject before you open mouth and insert foot.
I have read the Purpose Driven Life and I would say that its really an inspiring book to read..You wont get bored reading it from cover to cover..Rick Warren is a genius sent by God..He made the bible scriptures look easy and much more applicable to one's day-to-day life..God Bless Rick Warren and to those who seek God in their lives!!..
A nice man..yes. A genius...NO!!!! I have a friend who grew up and inherited 2-3 million from a family estate. He gave away the entire fortune to these kids he was sponspering through World Vision and their families. He then used his skills that God gave him, and started building houses down in the country, and to this day lives like a humble man. That is what a man of God looks like. A genius? No...a hunble servant.
count the number of times he says "purpose" hmmm wonder if he is selling a book? preach the true gospel. what happened to preaching God, sin, wrath, propitiation, regeneration, holiness... okay just keep selling your lame book
Hes a jezebel.Why arent people weighing what he says against the word.Its foolish.This guy is mixing new age philosophy with the word.That right there should be a wake up call.I pray that hes further exposed.
You certainly will not find the pure, unadulterated gospel being preached from the lips of Rick Warren. In every instance I have seen, it is distorted, sometimes shrouded in subtlety, sometimes missing entirely. Please prove me wrong. But more importantly, test what I am saying and receive the truth.
Watch Warren's other videos; his gospel is a distortion of the true gospel. He preaches a social gospel while mentioning Jesus, but there is never a clear mention our desperate sinfulness that will land us in hell apart from repentance and faith in Christ who shed his own blood in order to pay the price for our sins. Try to find the true gospel clearly laid out the way Warren lays out his own agendas.
well, I think there needs to be ballance in preaching. There are far too many who say very little about God's love and mercy, and far too many saying that all God is and does is love and forgive. Both are true, but there needs to be a harmony of the two points.
When ANY one of these folks who have commented here are doing 1/10th of what Rick Warren is doing for the Kingdom of God and the cause of spreading the Truth of the Gospel ... then, and only then, might your comments carry any weight at all.
Until then ... go next door and tell someone that God loves them, and He is the reason they are put on this earth. Try it ... you might must find your PURPOSE too!
If you want to know what really a man is, see the fruit of his behavior or words. If Rick Warren is helping people to set their mind in Jesus Christ and let them proceed to live for God, he can be said to being producing good fruits.
I like it when people reference a random place in the bible that might just barely interact with something today. Not to mention they use the King James Version, which was proven to have been altered deliberately by the cardinals in medieval times to uphold their political power.
Rick Warren is a false prophet and pastor. He is being used by the devil to decieve millions of vunerable Christians around the world with his 'Purpose Drivel'.
