There’s a big uproar about Warren praying at Obama’s inauguration. All the liberals have a problem because he’s a conservative Christian. In reality Warren is not a conservative you do here much complaining on the other side but there is some including an article written by noted conservative Joseph Farra. The main problem as I see it is that Warren seems a lot more concerned about social outreach than the Gospel and preaching the truth. It’s important to reach out to others especially those in need and it is important we do all we can to help those less fortunate. But Warren seems much too focused on popular causes. Even if Warren’s motives were totally pure he’s supposed to be a preacher of the Gospel and not a social activist. You can be both but as a pastor you have certain priorities. Warren has done other things like speak to foreign governments like Syria which our own government does not talk to because it’s a state sponsor of Terror but the country of Syria is not known for treating Christians very nice and the government can and did use such visits to prop itself up. Finally the fact that Warren considers Obama his friends says something about his judgment. Warren says we disagree on some issues but there’s a difference between disagreeing on who gets tax breaks vs murder being allowed. Could Warren and Hitler have been friends but just disagreed on some issues. Warren also said on a recent dateline that no Republicans have done anything recently to change abortion laws. Considering that President Bush signed the Partial Birth Abortion ban when Clinton vetoed it twice Warren seems to be either way under informed or he’s distorting the facts. So people looking at Warren being invited to pray at Obama’s inauguration seeing it as Obama being open and being more of a middle of the road politician are not seeing the whole story. The invite to Warren by Obama may look like an outreach to conservatives but I think it’s just for appearances.
