YBPDLN Ping List Ping!

The YBPDLN Ping List is generally published infrequently, but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a period of time. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

18,000 Members Can’t Be Wrong!

But why is it that celebrity pastors inevitably feel compelled to mind everybody else's business when it comes to food.

To sell books? I'm sure the man has bills to pay.

A minister will write just about any kind of book....to get an audience. How to fry chicken, the best way to maintain a yard, or perhaps the quickest way to get a divorce in Texas. Frankly, I’d rather than ministers stick with religious stuff and ethical behavior. Beyond that....would anyone listen to some minister discuss timing on a Ford F-150?

Rick Warren—of Hubris-Driven Life fame.

[Alex Murphy]

Big deal, Rick Warren's lost weight. Haven't we all at one time or another? Sure, he's noticed "dunlap's" disease among more than a few of those attending Saddleback (Click Here). He's concerned for them. Fine. Yet, what business is it of Rick Warren's if some people in his church eat too much? Besides, gluttony has far more to do with the human heart than it does with someone's weight.

"[Diet book] will be eschatologically focused--"your resurrection body now"--and based upon seven-years of pure tribulation."

Honestly did laugh out loud.

Kale makes a nice vegetable side dish if you cook it right. Here's a recipe that I like:

2 lbs. of Kale with extended stems removed
2 tbsp. olive oil
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup of chicken broth
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste

1. In a large frying pan with a lid, saute garlic in olive oil over high heat briefly (before it turns brown), add kale tossing until all the kale is starting to wilt and is wet with oil.

2. Add chicken broth, cover with lid and lower heat to medium for 5 minutes.

3. Remove lid and let cook until broth has steamed off.

4. Pour kale into a serving bowl and toss with sprinkled vinegar, salt and pepper. Serve.

This recipe is pretty good, gets kale into your diet and doesn't add a bunch of fat and starch like some recipes.

Mat 6
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Matt 11
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

Hmm, wonder who Jesus was referring to here.

"I strive to control my blood pressure with a low sodium diet"

Really? People still believe this?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

He is selling a book. Unless you buy, read and follow the book he is not telling you what to eat.

The book will not be forced on you.

You will not have to recite passages.

He will not come to your house and steal your macaroons.

He will not make restaurants take the salt shakers off the table.

No, he is just selling a book, big whoop.

The other things are stuff the fedgov has and would like to do. And they have the power to do so.

Are you as upset about that?

[dforest]

People should mind their own business. Warren can do as he likes as long as I can.

[toothfairy86]

Rick Warren should follow traditional Orthodox Christian fasting. But where’s the money in THAT?
