Rick Warren's Critics
this whole article appears to be an ad
Should it be referenced like that?
- Although Dr. Warren has many followers, his Purpose Driven teaching has given rise to many critics as well. Prominent names such as John F. MacArthur and Dave Hunt to name a few. Might it be prudent to discuss the opposition? Or is that too controversial?
I don't have a lot of free research time
I have heard, but am currently unable to cross reference/verify, that Rick Warren has been able to repay his church his entire salary, and that he works as a 'volunteer pastor' using his book as his income. Do you think this would be relevant to the entry?
Ricks Salary
Here are the facts that have been widely known. Every Saddleback Church member could confirm this:
1. Rick and Kay Warren give 90% of their income to charity, and live on 10%. Do you know ANYONE else this generous? They started tithing 10% when then were married 30 years ago. Each year of their marriage they raised it at least 1%, in order to grow in generousity and, in the Warren's words, "break the grip of materialism, by being more and more generous." After 30 years of marriage they give 90% away.
2. When Purpose Driven Life became the best selling book in the world (for the past 3 years) they made 4 decisions:
A) To not change their lifestyle at all. They still live in their same house and Rick Warren still drives a 4 year old Ford.
B) Rick stopped taking a salary from Saddleback Church.
C) They paid back all that the church had paid in salary over 25 years.
D) They set up 3 Foundations: one to help people with HIV/AIDS, one to continue to train leaders around the world, and one for the global P.E.A.C.E plan.
