When I first heard I was very sad. It is a terrible tragic thing to loose a child. BUT- Rick Warren is not a Godly man, and God can only protect the people who come to him.
The fact that Rick lists doing everything for his son, other than talking to him about Jesus- shows that this man is a hypocrite.
The word of God is pretty clear what happens to pastors who take all the fame and glory and money- and do not shepherd the people in the truth. Rick has done more to damage the Christian church than any other person we can point to, in this generation, with his purpose driven money making scheme.
Reap-Sow.. it is what happens. It is really what happens.
Having been saved from a suicide attempt myself, I can witness to you that the only thing that helps is Jesus. No doctor, no pill , nothing is going to work.
So-Am I sorry- yes.
I am very sorry that Rick did not listen to the word of God, because it is the only thing that saves anyone from anything.
God can not protect those who refuse to turn to him- and stand on His word.
We should all pay attention. The world causes depression, it does not cure depression.
How do you know that he wasn't talking to him about Jesus? Really, this condemnation of a man who has just lost a child and whose soul we really cannot know is very distasteful. It would be distasteful even if it happened to an atheist.
