    All I can see is a man who has a serious and sincere heart for reaching the lost. I can’t discern anything in his statements that go against the Word. If anything, they point right back to it. For those who disagree, I suggest to at least give Rick Warren the benefit of the doubt before hastily passing judgment and dismissing him as a false teacher.
    “But Jesus said, "Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. For the one who is not against us is for us. For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.”
    ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9:39-41‬ ‭ESV‬‬

    Brian Brodersen of Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, CA, now has women behind his pulpit reading the bible and speaking on Sunday morning. I saw this when he allowed this woman to do the speaking Sunday morning July 28, 2019 He is going against the Bible. I can see this may be going to Brian Brodersen ordaining women as Pastors.

Seemed the interviewer asked the questions that needed to be asked.....

    A Father has 2 sons. One lives 5000 miles away, the other with him. The 1st son calls his Father in the MORNING, AFTERNOON and in the EVENING to say goodnight. He tells his Father how his day went, who he met and what he did. His Father GIVES him advice and TELLS his son he loves him. The other son who lives with him stays in HIS room most of the time and when he sees his Father he just says hello and goes about his business. He loves his Father and he knows his Father loves him. The 1st son cant wait to come home to see his Father, the other son wants to hurry up and move out to see if he can make it on his own. Who has the stronger RELATIONSHIP? The 1st son is what God wants, the other son is religious. Which one are u. U can know the bible from front to back attend church everyday, Its no good if u dont know ur Father.

    I just found Rick warren after years of walking away from Christianity due to trauma.. I think the only thing I have said to god in the past decade (at least 1) is “why do you hate me so much? What have I done so bad to make you give me this life?
    I found Rick warren on a whim and I’ve been bingeing on saddleback church’s videos for a few days now. I love his word- he is a teacher. What he says touches my heart and soul.. if I had had a pastor like this growing up, my life would e gone a very very different direction.

      May the love of God help us to love others and to honor our Good Shepherd and coming King, thank you Jesus for
      coming to this fallen world to bring grace, hope, new life and to be with us on this journey of redemption and transformation, a life long adventure of becoming mature in Christ...I myself have learned humility gives God room to teach me so much more than what I thought...again it's a life long journey to the Father's house. Help us Lord Jesus to be free of ourselves...more of Jesus...less of me. God's love makes a difference in this fallen world.

    Saying you have to be a persons friend before you can save someone is a lie. The Holy Spirit brings someone to saving faith, not our slick talk, friendship or personality.

    I hear a lot of things about Rick Warren but when I hear what he says I don't hear any false teaching. Brian Broderson, on the other hand- lots of false teaching there. For instance, he told me personally that Abraham made no mistakes. How shallow is that? It comes from Chuck's Moses model. Calvary's Achilles heel.

Firing Romaine saying he was senile, getting rid of Chucks brother for a reason only you know. . You already been lining yourself with the Jesuit Pope, sneaky sneaky man.

We judge others because they don't believe what you do. When I talk with someone who I feel is wrong on a subject, but has a great message, I just discount what I disagree with and correct it with my teaching from God. I enjoy Rick Warren leading with leadership keep it up Rick.

      Hey brad, I think the problem that other Christians have with Warren is that warren thinks that by “getting along” with Muslims and Jews and just “loving them”, that somehow they will come around and start believing in Jesus or something. This is the fundamental flaw and might I say cowardly tactic that Warren promotes. It’s philanthropy at its best - let’s all get along and do good works, while at the same time not addressing the HARD truth that people need to repent and believe in Christ’s sacrifice. So to end, I don’t think that warren is a bad man per se (like Kenneth Copeland or something), but I do think that warren is misled into thinking that somehow we can create peace and unity thru good works, which is flagrantly false and anti gospel. You create peace and unity by teaching the truth in love and allowing the Holy Spirit to change people’s hearts. Because there is no such thing as having unity with people who believe in demonically derived religions like Islam or Roman Catholicism.

    world.

Rick Warren teaches Jesus and Allah are the same God and Rick has a hard time talking about homosexuality on T.V. he had so many opportunities to share The Good News of Jesus Christ and preach repentance and holiness but he doesn't do it He really believes all religions can unite he just uses Christianity to gain a lot of members to make himself look good if you approve of him and Brian Brodersen that tells me you lack discernment and your not in your word daily. I care about you and I don't want you to be lied too Jesus says in his word even the ELECT can be deceived because of Rick Warren's teachings and Brian approving of the Roman Catholic church don't ever have favorite pastors because you'll defend them instead of standing up for Jesus Christ God Bless

    No amount of love will make Sin right.and for me the best manifestation of showing love is not being good to the unbelievers but to tell them the truth.there has been numerous times that RW had the chance to talk to crowds about Jesus but He never grabs that oportunity. HE is not interedted in faith talk he said but only on faith walk ,meaning lets just work together for good and mind our own business when it comes to the truth about the scripture.sound so convenient and contradictory to the mandate of "go and make disciples"of all nation.

Bible says to separate from false teachers. I can’t stand how churches have compromised with the world to fill their pews. It’s not about the numbers. What a scam.
