Title: Rick Warren: Living a life of purpose
Added: Apr 15, 2008
Author: TEDtalksDirector
Duration: 21:48
Description:
http://www.ted.com Pastor, philanthropist and author Rick Warren reflects on how the success of his book The Purpose-Driven Life triggered his own crisis of purpose. What should he do with this unanticipated wealth and attention? Warren uses his own story to explain the central tenet of his teaching: that the antidote to spiritual emptiness is recognizing what we have been given -- wealth, creativity, talent -- and using those gifts to make the world a better place.

Apr 8, 2012 - Easter Sunday Rick Warren proclaimed, "God hates war, but loves every soldier." Is that every soldier,or what many perceive as the enemy or just American soldiers? Even if the soldier blatantly declares, he or she doesn't believe in Christ because they are a secular humanist, an atheist, or one who refuses to believe that Jesus in the "only" way to God? Help me understand, if the Bible which is God's inerrant Word, state in Psalms 5:5 of the Amplified Bible,"Boasters can have no standing in

Apr 8, 2012 - Your sight: You abhor evildoers. You will destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors [and rejects] the bloodthirsty and deceitful man." Basically the Lord hates all workers of iniquity, Jesus is alienated from sinners.Scripture states in in Rom.9:13 of the Amplified Bible also proclaims,"As it is written, Jacob I have loved, But Esau have I hated (held in relative disregard in comparison with My feeling for Jacob."(see also Mal.1:2-3) "Let no man deceive you with vain words...Eph.5:6.

Apr 9, 2012 - Notice how he says he doesn't care if you believe in Biblical facts? If he doesn't care whether you believe in the Bible or not he hs no business being a Pastor. How this man has such a following is utterly surprising to me. He wants to blend islam & Christianity, This would have made Moses turn over in his grave.'Please no Rick Warren nor his purpose driven ways.

Apr 10, 2012 - Sick and tired of people looking up to men for guidance!!! Tired of men twisting the word of God around and making millions of dollars from it!!! Heck authors take scriptures from the Bible and make best selling books and #1 movies! Stop the maddness. His word is free, your salvation is free! Jesus has taken your death sentence! Repent for your wretched ways and run from men like this and give God all the Glory He so greatly deserves:)

Apr 19, 2012 - I don't understand how helping others find the purpose of life is manipulation of any sort. Its not about religion. Its about finding Jesus, and learning how we can receive eternal life through him. God bless you.

Apr 29, 2012 - It seems like many of the Christian AND secular comments on here seem like they have their eyes and ears shut pretty tight.

May 3, 2012 - A couple of quotes from his from his bestseller "God never does anything accidentally, and he never makes mistakes. He has a reason for everything he creates." So hitler was part of god's plan. "He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death" So the holocaust and abortion are part of god's plan. Who buy's this shit?

May 4, 2012 - wats funny is that none of wat he says makes sense in context but if u take them out individually u can extend them and make sense of them. but when u have a religious guy u always have to do that...

Erkynar Says:
May 25, 2012 - What am I doing with what I'm given? Well, first off I disagree that it was "given". But the point is valid in a sense.I'm doing my best, Rick, Doing my best.Now I would never buy your book, because your underlying reasoning just doesn't strike me as based in anything other than very wishy-washy thinking. That doesn't mean I disagree with everything you say, just that it sound strangely incoherent.I am not a duck. Check.
Erkynar Says:
May 25, 2012 - What do you mean by that?
OtterXpt Says:
May 27, 2012 - Spot on. This guy is an agent of the forming One World Religion prophesied for end times. Doubtful he is THE False Prophet, but he definitely is A false prophet. Look at his work with the U.N. trying to unify the faiths. To the nonbeliever this seems all well and good, but for us who believe in Jesus the Messiah it runs contradictory to God's Word. --Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

Apr 8, 2012 - I like Rick Warren, seems cool and down to earth - people can tear shreds off him all they like and yeah he has faults no ones perfect, but Rick Warren to his credit has resisted the temptation of enormous wealth and you can see he is truly following God with all his heart although he may stumble like everyone does. He is a genuine person
