Good... Better... Best

The "Good Life"

In 2006 Chuck Colson wrote "The Good Life, " It was forwarded by Rick Warren. The product description reads,"Colson shares real-life stories about people who define themselves by their positions and possessions vs. those who define themselves by their faith in God. You'll find new purpose and meaning for your own life." rick wrote his own article, The Secret For Living 'The Good Life in 2010. In it he said,

 "So, what truly is the Good Life? It is the personal fulfillment and joy that come from being good and doing good. It is the result of discovering and becoming exactly what God created you to be. Nothing else will fill that void in your soul."

"Nothing else" Pastor Rick?  Just , being good and doing good? 

 What about knowing Jesus?  How did it happen that you failed to mention Him?

But rick has changed his mind.  Now, the "good life" isn't good enough....

Rick Warren apparently "believes everyone lives at one of three levels in life: Survival, Success and Significance."   Which would you choose for yourself?

Watch the video above as Pastor Warren explains how America is filled with people who are just getting by at the "Survival" level.... and says that  the "good life" isn't good enough.

"The "good life" isn't good enough.... we're made for more than the good life... we are made for the better life....which is a life moving from success to significance.... (one where) you know your purpose."

~Rick Warren

Yes... it is time for the" Better Life"

"Unfortunately, what keeps us from grabbing hold of that better life is an irrational sense of self-sufficiency. We think we’re doing fine on our own."   ~Rick Warren 

The Better Life by Rick Warren 12/23/2013, purposedriven.com

Rick told people that the better life could be obtained by stopping their irrational sense of self-sufficiency and inviting God into their lives as their power source. so that they could know their purpose.  To do this, it would requite inviting Jesus into their lives....making Jesus "the boss."

"Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life.  It’ll change everything."   ~Rick Warren 

Rick Warren's Jesus doesn't save you from sin and death... but he did come to do three other things... to have your past forgiven, give you purpose, and to give you a home in heaven. He's a life coach too.

Rick's Jesus also fits well into the business executive mindset that Rick learned so well from masters of the   trade. His Jesus gives church leaders "God-sized" ambitions and  is all about changing-up the church and shaking down the status-quo....all this while continuously training his subjects to jump through hoops and run baseball diamonds so that they can purchase book after book after book.  Finally, after 2000 years of going nowhere, Rick's Jesus is giving Christians a  good, er.a.... better  life, and a hope for a peaceful world where all religions can simply "get along.".

Your Best Life

Recently, when the Son of God movie came to theaters Rick Warren teamed up with Joel Olsteen, a heretical "bible teacher" and author of a book called, Your Best Life Now.  (Listen to a sermon of Olsteen's here.)

This is really nothing new, for Olsteen and Warren preached the "good news" on Oprah's Life Class, years ago.  Now, with the big screen movie representation of the "Jesus" they embrace, these birds of a feather, are working hard to get people to flock to the movie theaters.  The movie with it's "new" generation Jesus and a slightly "different gospel" is a "must see" for the new generation" for this Jesus didn't come to preach the kingdom or die for sin.  He came, or so their Jesus says in the lightworkers' big screen movie, to "change the world," but that's not in the real "script" given to men by God to reveal to us who Jesus truly, truly is.
