I read this today from Rick Warrens Twitter feed. I've always "known" him to be a very good man.

To put this in context, Warren is a pastor of one of the largest mega churches in the world, he is also the author of "The Purpose Driven Life" one of the highest selling books of all time (nearly 40 million copies!), he also was invited to give the inaugural prayer at President Obama's Inauguration ceremony.

Given that bio, I thought this was a profound statement:

"Jesus began his church as a FAMILY. It changed to an institution in Rome, a political view in Europe, & a business in America."

Wow.

Lets keep striving to be a family. Lets keep welcoming people into the family.
