Love everyone, but move with the movers.


Rick Warren said, “Love Everyone, but Move with the Movers.” How much painless would life be if we could live by this principle? No matter how much my dad repeats this quote to me, I feel like I am not very good at living by it.

I have realized lately that the problem with loving people is the hurt that comes with it. This is not a one-way problem. I am certain that people have loved me ridiculous amounts and I have turned around and hurt them. You could ask my parents, I am sure they could give specific examples.

I don’t think the hard part of living by this quote is loving everyone, but the hard part is moving with the movers. It is even harder when you do not know who the movers are. But even during those times, I have realized they are there, you just have to search for them. Sometimes the movers are the people you would least expect.

Moving with the movers creates an opportunity for a revival. Movers make an impact. Movers change history. Movers are remembered. Don’t just stand waiting for people to come with you. Move with the people who are moving. And if you cannot find any movers, just move….other movers will find you.

Good. You shouldn't be. Ignore the movers. Follow the Shepherd and move with his Word only. The movers are generally the worldly people who are running over the little people in the church. Rick Warren should be ashamed for all the man centered unbiblical garbage he teaches.
