Another explanation could be that the guy has changed, or that media reports on his activities are less than accurate. The latter is probably least likely.
That's a first.....
I read (sorry, no source) that he will be asking an abortion-related question of McCain/Obama today after all.
Who knows the nature of the question? I guess we’ll see.
It seems to me he wants to be the next “go-to” guy for “evangelical” opinion. That’s just my impression.
I don’t have a problem with a pastor meeting with Obama, or Achmedinijad, or Charles Manson for that matter. However I don’t like what Rick Warren is doing today, as it seems to be an endorsement, a sort of a “both guys are the same, both are acceptable” message.
PDL might seem harmless, but Warren does misuse Scripture in it. He also sometimes uses a new-age-friendly version, The Message, when it suits some point he is trying to make. His “gospel” message in PDL is so “lite” it can hardly be called a gospel message.
We must be vigilant and “test the spirits,” as deception is washing over the church! Question everything, and compare everything to the Bible, and ask God for wisdom so that you will have discernment.
The first order for a con man is to make you believe the pitch. He was very successful with the pitch. Now comes the sting.
