Pastor Rick Warren has been extremely popular throughout the month of November. He was interviewed in a Thanksgiving Special on the television show “Meet The Press.” When asked what is testing the Americans faith during the holiday season, Warren responds, “the economy, the war in Afghanistan, and the political divisions.” He is then asked on how Americans are suppose to give as it asks in the Bible during such times of economic crisis. Pastor Warren explains how Americans can give their time if they do not have money to give. He then discusses how donations for religious organization has been at an all time high during these times. He credits the Christian culture of raising its followers the blessings of giving. In a time of uncertainty, Pastor Warren helps Americans in the Orange County area and all over the nation stay positive. Warren uses his own experiences of struggling financially in his younger years as proof that times will prevail.
Warren was also quoted in an article from the Orange County Register, “Warren Says He Wasn’t Prop 8 Leader.” Warren is clearing up all rumors that he was involved in the campaign for or against prop 8. Warren states, “People on both sides tried to make me the campaign leader.’’ Warren wants people to understand that he sides with the Bible and has never altered his opinion on the matter. The article goes on to discuss Warrens relationship with the President of the United States and what actions he believes must be done to improve our current situation. The pastor says, “I personally believe that the number one thing we need to do is get people back to work – before health care or anything else.”
Rick Warren is right to worry about or job instability in America. With the unemployment rate increasing day by day, Warren makes an excellent point that we must “get people back to work.” I also think that Warren does a good responding to the question on Prop. 8. Pastor Warren has many gay friends and has done a great job letting people know that the sin is wrong, but you cannot hate the sinner.
