I'm not an apologist for Rick Warren, but I've seen a lot of petty accusations against him and I've seen some blatant and complete misrepresentations of what he's said and from his book The Purpose Driven Life. Please understand I'm not saying you've done any of what I just mentioned. I've also seen valid and accurate criticisms of Warren.

One thing I can't argue with is the Holy Spirit is convicting people to a saving knowledge of God through Warren's ministry.

I can.

It's not Rick Warren's doing. He's not convicting anyone with his lies and humanistic teachings.

When a person seeks HIM, He will be found. They would have found the Lord with or without Rick Warren. Rick Warren doesn't call the shots - God does.

Maybe more like... despite Warren's ministry.

I've noticed the same thing. People are talking about Jesus because of PDL. I'd say that's fruit.

INDEED.

And the proper Biblical response is not therefore to undermine and throw rocks ruthlessly, relentlessly, wholesale and only.
