Warren Trumps Haggard in Immoral Affiliation

Today, Rick Warren of Saddleback Church committed an atrocity worse than Ted Haggard's failure to remain sexually pure.

Today, Rick Warren not only exposed his church to an immoral man, he also jointly aligned himself and his church with an outspoken enemy of God. (Ted Haggard exposed himself to an immoral man, but did not align his church with the same.) Today, Rick Warren proudly welcomed the blatantly pro-abort Senator Barack Obama into his church. (Ted Haggard humbly confessed his sin before his entire church.) Today, Rick Warren joyfully invited the infamous partial-birth-abortion advocate into his pulpit. (Ted Haggard, contritely excused himself from the pulpit due to his sin.) Today, Rick Warren presented Senator Obama as a model for the Church to follow. (Ted Haggard withdrew himself as a worthy leader of his church and the greater Church body in America.)

Why?

For some insane reason, Rick Warren thinks he can justify working with and publicly lauding a senator who advocates the killing of 126,000 children every day, on the basis that this same senator has compassion on the 8,000 people in foreign countries who die of AIDS. Warren says that just because he calls abortion "one of the five non-negotiable moral issues" in the Purpose-Driven Life, he can negotiate about AIDS with a man who thinks stabbing babies in the neck and sucking their brains out is a constitutional right.

Earlier this week, a coalition of 18 pro-family, pro-life Christian leaders begged Warren to rescind his invitation to Obama and not bring shame to Christ. Leaders included Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum, Tim Wildmon of American Family Association, and Janet Folger of Faith2Action.

Warren thumbed his nose in response to the plea of fellow Christian leaders. Shame on him.

Shame for slapping Jesus - "the least of these."
