New Found Respect

I have long been a critic of one of the most influential men of evangelicalism. The reasons for this are many and I won't rehearse my qualms with Rick Warren before you now. I will, however, say that today I gained a new respect for him.

In a world that is full of relativism and tolerance, few dare to speak truth in the public sector. Pastors who approach secular speaking engagements are commonly warned to avoid certain topics that are considered intolerant or close-minded toward those who would not share the same viewpoints. But today, Rick Warren spoke in a way that hasn't been condoned -- and not just to a crowd but to the whole nation. May God bless his openness. Check out the video below.
