RICK from Rick

Rick Warren – The World’s Foremost Expert On Humility

 

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others. Humble people are so focused on serving others, they don’t think of themselves.”
― Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth am I Here for?

 

 Remember others first;

 Imitate Christ;

Create opportunities for service; and

Keep your ego in check.

Warren believes his new strategy is essential for the success of the Church and plans to implement it throughout his Purpose Driven network until RICK covers the globe. “I’ve come to realize how important humility is, and I want other Christians to understand it, too,” Warren explained. “In fact, just the other day I was telling Bono how I practically created another Pentecost at Saddleback’s last membership drive. All of a sudden the phone rings and it’s a call from the White House. It was Barry wanting some pastoral advice. This is the kind of humbling situation that I hope others can learn to experience someday, too.”

When asked about the critics who charge that his new global humility plan is just a veiled marketing campaign to force his personal agenda on the Church, Warren responded, “Hey, the RICK Plan isn’t about me.”

The saddest thing about this post is that many of the readers will remain unsure as to whether it is satire or real life. Those lines regularly cross over in Rick Warren’s universe!

If you haven’t heard enough about Rick Warren’s humility you can find out more (non-satirical examples) in these previous posts from his sermon at last years Desiring God conference.

 How about another Acrostic to match or better Warren’s. After all it’s not about RICK!
