Rick Warren has his and we each have our own. We're not all "big toes". We're all uniquely made for different purposes. Peter preached to the Jews while Paul preached to the Gentiles. Each is correct in doing what God has led him to do. Likewise, we each fulfill a purpose in the Body. I am given to assume that Pastor Warren is fulfilling his purpose according to God's will. God is certainly using him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different folks, different callings and purposes. Thanks for the great post, Cats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Nichols, 33, entered the plea during a brief hearing in Atlanta's Fulton County Courthouse, the same building where the March 11 rampage began. Nearly a dozen police and deputy sheriffs were in the court to provide security on Tuesday. "Yes, your honor," a somber Nichols said when asked by DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Hilton Fuller whether he understood the charges. Fuller is hearing the case because Fulton County's judges have recused themselves. Nichols was on trial for the rape of an ex-girlfriend when, according to police, he overpowered a deputy sheriff, stole her gun and then shot Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes who was presiding over the trial. The former athlete then turned his gun on a court reporter before escaping the building and beginning a 26-hour flight from the police, according to police. Nichols also is accused of killing two law enforcement officers during his escape. The fugitive eventually surrendered in an Atlanta suburb after being persuaded to do so by a woman he had held hostage. Prosecutors, who are seeking the death penalty against Nichols, said on Tuesday that they would fight any attempt to have his trial moved out of Fulton County, which incorporates much of Atlanta. "We want it tried here," Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said after the hearing. But Nichols lawyers are concerned the pretrial publicity generated by the case -- the shootings and Nichols' escape were covered extensively by media across the United States -- could jeopardize their client's right to a fair trial. Defense attorney Chris Adams said his client did not want to be tried in the same courthouse where the shootings occurred. Judge Fuller said he would hear pretrial motions on June 9 in DeKalb County Superior Court. Not guilty? What does the purpose driven life teach?

It's almost like he was crying out for help and was so happy when his hostage told him about the Word and read that book to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
