Where did you see anywhere in the story or in the weblink I provided above to Saddleback's website that Obama is going to be in the pulpit? This is a conference being held at a church (Saddleback) with over 30 other speakers and hosts who will be speaking on the topic of AIDs. If Rick Warren thinks that Obama has something important to say about the subject, then I will give him the benefit of the doubt to hear the guy out. If Obama has no problem coming into a conservative SBC church in the heart of Republican Orange County and speaking I have no problem with that.

But, then again, Jesus taught me that He came not for the righteous but for the unrighteous. Oh yeah, pssttt! Keep this quiet, but He also said it is ok for sinners to come to church too.

"Oh yeah, pssttt! Keep this quiet, but he also said it is okay for sinners to come to church too."

Yep...And the church is also instructed how to act when a sinner (unsaved) is among them during church.

"But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, 'God is really among you.'" (I Corinthians 14:25-26)

What do you think Obama will leave Saddleback thinking?

Will he be convicted because of his sin or will he be puffed up because he believes he has garnered some more of the "evangelical" vote?

Hey, if you think Jesus wants ravenous wolves dining with the sheep, that's your call. Count me out.

This is a way for Obama to gain stature. He's already getting plenty of that from the Democrat Media.

There's no good reason for Christ's body to be abetting it.
