USA Today Article on Rick Warren

Today’s online edition of USA Today includes an article on Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church. (btw… Saddleback recently relaunched their website with a new look.) Here’s a quote from Warren in the article:

“We don’t need to change what we believe. We need to change how we behave. It’s not creeds or deeds. I didn’t say that. It’s creeds and deeds. You say you believe. Show me your beliefs by what you do. What I am not is a fundamentalist. You become a fundamentalist when you stop listening. There are all kinds of fundamentalists. I don’t happen to agree with any of them.”

I kind of like it when Rick gets feisty. Sounds like he’s challenging the Pharisees. Love that!

You can read the rest of the article on USA Today’s site.

    My respect for RW continues to climb. Sometimes he makes my eyebrows rise, but that’s okay.

    He’s my kinda guy on so many levels!
