Unfortunate but perhaps apt metaphor

Rick Warren compares the Purpose Driven paradigm to Windows:

“Personal computers have brand names. But inside every pc is an Intel chip and an operating system, Windows,” Warren says. “The Purpose Driven paradigm is the Intel chip for the 21st-century church and the Windows system of the 21st-century church.”

I know what he’s saying, but I hope the Purpose Driven Life doesn’t crash as often.

Whatever you think of Rick Warren, it’s encouraging to see his work on in this area.

Warren says he was driven to reexamine Scripture with “new eyes.” What he found humbled him. “I found those 2,000 verses on the poor. How did I miss that? I went to Bible college, two seminaries, and I got a doctorate. How did I miss God’s compassion for the poor? I was not seeing all the purposes of God.
