Rush transcript of interview with Rick Warren on Larry King Live (Tues 3/22)
* USA Today, A purpose-driven author speaks his piece, excerpt:
[Rick Warren] said he has studied Scripture to learn how to use his new “affluence and influence.” He said he takes no salary from Saddleback, drives a 4-year-old Ford Explorer and commits 90% of his income to three foundations, including the global service program. “God doesn’t give you all this for your own ego.”
* Chicago Sun-Times,
Putting Christianity on a modern footing (3/25/05)
[Rick Warren] ”I’m never going to deny what I believe, but I’ve got to say it in a way that makes sense to the MTV generation in a postmodern world.”
This is a great opportunity for Christians to talk to their friends, relatives and work mates abt their faith. When asked, “Say have you read the Da Vinci Code?” we can come back with, “No, but have you read Purpose Driven Life?”
