Rick Warren Quote


"You see, it takes more than belief... it takes more than faith to please God."
- Rick Warren

Noooooo! Horrid, horrid, horrid! Horrid! I cannot follow the Law! That's the whole point!- DOB

"This grossest form of commingling Law and Gospel is the most grievous fault of rationalists. The essence of their religion is to teach men that they become different beings by putting away their vices and leading a virtuous life, while the Word of God teaches us that we must become different men first, and then we shall put away our particular sins and begin to exercise ourselves in good works. The doctrine which proposes to make men godly by their own works is the doctrine of pagans, Reformed Jews, and Turks."
- C.F.W Walther

Thank God for Reformation orthodoxy. - DOB

Our minds were separated at birth. With quotes like that, it is really hard not to be a theological snob isn't it? ;-) Thank goodness there are people like us around to set 'em straight!

I would agree with dylan about theological snobbery but don't grasp why or how people don't GET things that ought to be as clear as the nose on da face.

But then the simple story doesn't sell billions of books.
