Rick Warren? Really? C'mon Pipe...

R. D. Thompson | I’m somewhat stunned but not quite condemning that Piper has Rick Warren coming to his NatCon in September. I mean, it is Piper’s conference and he can invite whoever he wants to it. Furthermore, I have worked for DG and will continue to work for them whenever possible because of all that they have done in bringing me to a deeper knowledge of the truth. I doubt seriously that everyone is going to go serve Satan after Warren’s message and I’m sure that they are all discerning enough to know what is right and wrong in Warren’s message. Seriously people, relax! You’d think Lucifer himself was coming...
After getting over the initial shock and anger (because I was both shocked and angry) I have composed this list of differences between Mark Driscoll (another of Piper’s controversial invites) and Rick Warren to demonstrate why Driscoll was a good choice and Warren is not a good choice (regardless of his smoke and mirrors).
A Comparison of the Likenesses of Mark Driscoll and Rick Warren
- Mark Driscoll is a pastor, Rick Warren is a pastor
- Mark Driscoll has appeared on TV, Rick Warren has appeared on TV
- Mark Driscoll likes people, Rick Warren likes people
- Mark Driscoll has written books, Rick Warren has written books
- Mark Driscoll planted a church, Rick Warren planted a church
- Mark Driscoll preaches the gospel, Rick Warren planted a church
- Mark Driscoll likes Jonathan Edwards, Rick Warren planted a church
- Mark Driscoll is a Calvinist, Rick Warren planted a church
- Mark Driscoll occasionally apologises for being foolish, Rick Warren planted a church
- Mark Driscoll has a spine under pressure, Rick Warren planted a church
- Mark Driscoll is transparent about all of his beliefs when he talks to John Piper, Rick Warren planted a church
- Mark Driscoll is Reformed, Rick Warren planted a church
- Mark Driscoll preaches the whole Bible, Rick Warren has had Barack Obama preach in his church
I don’t usually talk about these things but people think that I worship Piper. I don’t worship Piper. He occasionally does, says, and writes dumb things.
Just...like...all...of...us...do.

(PS. Perhaps now you understand why I don’t allow comments? No comment wars here! You can email me but no one else will ever know what you said! HA!)
(PPS. Maybe, God forbid, you could LEARN something when Warren speaks at the NatCon in September) *tries to hide target on forehead*
