Sleeping with the Devil

Pure rant here, with a hat tip to Challies. I think the title pretty much sums up my feelings about the latest debacle going on with Rick Warren. Here’s the email that I just sent to Saddleback. Can someone please tell me, where are the Elders of this church?!!


To. Pastor Warren

Dear Sir,

Based on the recent article in World Net Daily, (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52998) I too have to ask the question of why you giving Senator Obama access to a house of God? I understand you and your wife’s commitment to assisting those in Africa who are suffeing from HIV and AIDS infection. I know that you have carried this commitment into your local community. But I can’t help believing that you are doing a great disservice to the sanctity of the pulpit, in sharing it with a man so incredibly out of touch with Christ. Knowing how Sen. Obama will use this politically to further agendas that go against everything you believe, how do justify this. Are the ends truly worth it? Do you see that the ends he’s seeking may not be those that you are?
If you are so hell bent on joining forces with Sen. Obama then please at least have the decency to make this your personal crusade and leave Saddleback out of it. Bring it down to D.C. I’m sure the news will still pick it up and give both of you the coverage that you desire.

Your brother in Christ,

Rong

(I keep trying to believe he’s a fellow brother, but things like this just make me question more and more where this man is heading.)

Doctorinal Truth

I started to reply to this in an email but I believe that it’s perfect for a post so here goes.

Original Email sent to a friend of mine:

Unfettered –

I thought this was quite funny… I was listening to a Piper message this afternoon while I was working on the computer (a crisis issue for work… in this way, it’s not entirely working on the Sabbath, right?), and in the middle of a message about false teaching, he said:

“You can become so obsessed with doctrinal error, that you lose the joy in doctrinal truth.” Like a dog trained in sniffing-out drugs, all you end up doing is sniffing for drugs.

The message is titled “Watch Out for Those Who Lead You Away From the Truth”. It was about watching out for smooth-talking pastors.

Oh, that smooth-talking Cherub Choir!

OK, back to work…

XXXXXX

The Unfettered One then sent this to each of us in our men’s group adding:

I was struggling with the theology of the song the Cherub Choir sang this morning and a buddy of mine who also has a little Cherub sent me this… I needed to read it twice…
