ANOTHER GOOD REASON TO JUST SAY “NO” TO RICK WARREN


Rick Warren:

You know, I had to repent of my pride [huh, say what!?], but I really felt good for about a minute. You know, and then I got real humble again. But I did that. Then we set up some charities, one’s called Acts of Mercy, which helps those with AIDS. And another on training leaders and another on this Global Peace Plan. The last thing I did is we became reverse tithers. When my wife and I…give away 90 percent and we live on 10. And honestly, that’s quite fun. The joy of giving at Christmastime–I really do believe in the joy of giving. I’m probably the happiest person on the planet because we get to use money in so many great ways. You can’t outgive God.

Jesus Christ:

Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
(Matthew 6:1-4, NASB)
