What's worse than John Piper inviting Rick Warren to the DG conference?
It's John Piper on video justifying his own actions and Rick Warren's theology and ministry.
It's John Piper on video classifying the issues others have with Warren simply as secondary separation issues.
Really?
Asking Allah for forgiveness, entertaining homosexual activists (and then acting like you weren't because you were "out of town"), espousing interfaith and pluralism internationally as a representative of "Christianity", never mind the mutilation of Scripture and promoting a false gospel in the name of church growth. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
John Piper minimizes the manifold issues Warren represents to Biblical Christianity.
In a cloaked manner, John Piper patronizes the critics by saying it's just "hanging out with someone".
No Dr Piper, it is not just "hanging out with someone".
Rationalizing and patronizing are the same techniques 100's of other pastors used to counter church members who stood against the use of Warren's materials in their churches.
Why did pastors resort to those tactics? Because the Purpose Driven program teaches those tactics. Pastors use those tactics to get what they want...out of pride and ambition.
Anyone who does not feel the sting of John Piper's actions and comments does not know enough about Rick Warren's theology and ministry or doesn't know enough about the Bible. Or both.
This flock is getting fleeced.
