LTRP Note: The following recent article by Christianity Today quotes Franklin Graham as saying that Rick Warren is a “minister of Jesus Christ” and that “he [Rick Warren] must be doing something right” if the gays and the liberals are mad at him.1 We present this article as an example of how Christian leaders (such as Graham) are not warning the body of Christ about Rick Warren’s teachings and beliefs that include a three-legged global peace plan and the new reformation/new spirituality. The Christianity Today article states they are presenting a “special section” on Rick Warren in this month’s online edition. The section lists numerous articles CT has written on Rick Warren over the past decade. Lighthouse Trails would like to provide its own “special section” on Rick Warren as well.

“Franklin Graham: Obama/Warren Criticisms Ludicrous”
Sarah Pulliam
Christianity Today
Evangelist Franklin Graham knows a thing or two about getting flack for praying at an inauguration. He took heat after praying in Jesus’s name at President Bush’s inauguration in 2001. I just spoke with Franklin Graham, who gave his take on Obama’s decision to ask megachurch pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. We have also compiled our coverage of Warren over the years in a special section.
Here are some highlights from the interview:
[Obama] is including evangelicals at his inauguration, but I don’t know if he’ll include them in his administration. Time will tell. But Rick Warren will have Obama’s ear on important issues.
Do you have any advice for Rick Warren?
My advice to Rick is to stay true to your convictions, and don’t back up one step. I don’t think he will. When you have the far left and the gay advocates mad at you, you must be doing something right. Click here to read this entire article.
