Thoughts on Wretched Radio on John Piper & Rick Warren—In Defense of the Gospel

4-3-10 • 2 Comments • Filed under: Defending and Contending

So I just listened to Todd Friel's commentary (looped full 2 hour stream • 15minute podcast) on the "Warrengate Controversy". His thoughts are spot on especially in stressing the fact that the issue is not about what Rick Warren confesses privately, but what he preaches and practices publically. And that it's a more dangerous thing to ...

Updates from the Apprising Blog, just in case there are some of you still unsure whether or not Rick Warren is worthy of the title “Wolf in sheep’s clothing”, and just in case some of you feel that John Piper inviting him to the Desiring God 2010 Conference is more of a positive thing than a negative. —HT [0]

A comparison between what John Piper sees as “at the root, theologically sound”, and what really is in Rick Warren’s profession. —HT [3]

Declaring War on the “Sinner’s Prayer”

3-30-09 • 15 Comments • Filed under: Biblical Evangelism, Defending and Contending, Herescope, Paul Washer

I'm sick and tired of this "Sinner's Prayer." Just because it's most convenient to use it...because most preachers fail to understand how painstaking salvation and genuine conversion really is, they relegate the Gospel call into "CHOOSING/DECIDING GOD." Blasphemy. Should we not go to strenuous efforts for the salvation of men souls? Why deceive them that they have ...
