Journal from the Street: Piper invites Rick Warren to speak at conference?

Piper invites Rick Warren to speak at conference?

I was very disappointed when I heard that Pastor Piper invited Rick Warren to the conference but then thought of the Sovereignty of God. I don't understand how Piper thinks Rick Warren is sound Biblically at all but am interested to see what God does with this. Maybe a whole bunch of Rick Warren followers will flock to the conference and hear the gospel for the first time and be saved.

Here is John Pipers explanation why he invited him. What do you think?

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.
2 Corinthians 5:11

This blog was made to share our experiences while sharing the gospel on the steet and to encourage others to "GO" into all the world and preach the gospel.

We don't want any glory for ourselves because we are very weak and can do nothing without Christ. So all the glory goes to God because He is worthy of all glory and worship. We are but grass that will wither away. We hold to what George Whitefield said, "Let me die, and let my name die with me." To God be the glory.

These are our latest experiences while sharing the gopsel on the streets. Praise God because He is at work always. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:4 Praise God for raising up men to hit the streets and boldly proclaim the gospel to every creature. I believe God is beginning to raise up people to proclaim His word boldly. It seems with all the false prophets and watered down churches of today that Christianity in America is dead. But God has raised up a remnant that is bold in the faith, sound in doctrine, and that hunger and thirst for righteousness. With the rapid increase in heresy spreading throughout the visible church we also see this remnant of theologian street preachers who are boldly counteracting everything that the "world" loves about the new seeker friendly church. This remnant is seen in the increasing number of open-air preachers and street evangelists throughout the US. They are preaching a biblical gospel that exalts Jesus Christ and explains Justification. Praise our Sovereign God for this increasing remnant.
