Warren Wimps Out

Rick Warren has been a very popular preacher these days from having been instrumental in staging the interviews of McCain and Obama at his Saddleback Church prior to the election to giving an invocation at the Inauguration. Walking the fine line between being popular and actually preaching the word, he has written very popular books and supported very worthy causes.

But today's apology to the homosexual community for his support of proposition 8 proves that Rick Warren is a wimp. And not a very lovable one at that. He misrepresents his previous support for the proposition and throws those who have done so much to protect marriage from the attack by the Left under the bus.

he reminds me of the false prophets of the Old Testament. If my recollection is correct, it was the true prophet that generally got beat up by the people and the leaders. Jeremiah and Isaiah were not the most popular fellow in town. John the Baptist was thrown in prison for the small complaint that the king was living in an adulterous relationship.

But commenting on the sin of homosexuality is not allowed in today's politically correct world. teaching the truth about human sexuality is not permitted in such a tolerant society. and preaching the gospel is only allowed if it caters to the left with all its conditions.

But then it probably makes for great book sales.

Oh that he would live a "faithful" purpose filled life.
