Warren Praises Obama For Choice of Gay Bishop

OneNewsNow reported yesterday that Rick Warren is praising Obama for the choice of a gay bishop to pray at an inauguration event:

Rick Warren is applauding Barack Obama's decision to invite homosexual Episcopal bishop V. Gene Robinson to pray at an inauguration event next week in Washington, DC.

Christianity Today quotes a statement from Warren, who says "President-elect Obama has again demonstrated his genuine commitment to bringing all Americans of goodwill together in search of common ground. I applaud his desire to be the president of every citizen." Warren's comment came in the wake of a controversy over Obama's decision to invite Warren to give the invocation prayer at the swearing-in ceremony at next Tuesday's Presidential Inauguration.

Robinson has said he will not use the Bible when praying, and states "I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer."

Nothing more needs to be said regarding Rick Warren and President-elect Obama. These facts speak for themselves. There are dark days ahead for Bible believing Christians. We must remain light and salt to a dead and dying world. May God grant us the grace to persevere to the end.
