I’ve never understood these mega-churches. I’ve felt more faith and love for God on FR, so many wonderful people, and it doesn’t cost me a dime.
I’m a monthly for the news and info. The rest is icing on the cake. :)
No problem... just to point out that God is a God of the second chance, in incidents that don’t need any speculation because they’re spelled out in the bible or in personal witness today. I hope Warren gets his head on straight (not thtraight).
Write a check yourself, Rick. You’re rich enough. And make up the difference by cutting back on your grocery budget, which is clearly very substantial.
No mushy Christians in places like Greece, Italy, the Balkans and other areas who were murdered and enslaved by Muslims hundreds of years ago. The LIBERAL US Catholic church needs to learn that with importing Somalis and 50+% of Catholics voting for a muslim. Many Catholics fought and died to keep Europe Christian.
Warren is slime. I hope his church collapses. He is a fraud.
Yeah, Crist is another one who could vanish tomorrow and I wouldn’t miss him.
Where did you hear that? I thought I was the only one who had contemplated that. There is nothing new under the sun I guess.
I would be more than happy to send Mr. Warren the “not one penny” that Obama promised to not increase on my tax obligations.
Oh go ahead and spend some of that hope and change that Obama gave you, Warren.

It’s so easy for a megachurch to get into “worship of the numbers.” Early Christianity was composed of scads of little private congregations; they would have laughed at our modern megachurches and cathedrals.
I’d suffocate in a social-gospel-only church.

They are not that. If anything they’re one of the ‘seeker friendly’ churches - which may, at times, be almost as bad. In the brand of Willow Creek in Ill...and a hyper version of the church growth movement. Not all of this sort of thing is bad - just too much focus on it, and not enough on truth...
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.”
Jesus never sacrificed one, for the other...
I agree. It makes me think of Jim and Tammy Faye Baker to know they keep the finances private.
I originally heard it from a Methodist preacher I knew.
Well someone has to take Oral Roberts place now.
But when the young man heard that, he went away sorrowing...
That is so right on.
Hope & Change biting this phony preacher in his arse. Your boy Hussein one Rick and maybe your congregation needs some help cause they are unemployed. He is a phony bastard.
If the church does not release their financials then they are a scam.
Amen. A lot of good pastors and priests with small flocks who really get it. They worry about how to keep their churches open.
Warren is a showman and cary barker clown.
He certainly is. With all the money he makes from all the books, videos, etc he sells, I can’t believe he doesn’t have the money to donate to his own church. :~(
Many of the bigger ministries that I know personally have signed pledges to be completely transparent about their finances. Why is he hiding?
IF he just cuts out his KFC late night runs, should pay for the deficit handily
Never even bought his book. Forget speaking at Obama’s inauguration. That doesn’t bother me. His definition of Christianity? That does bother me.
