It seems God continues to extend Rick Warren's influence. Sunday night, he's moderating presentations by both John McCain and Barack Obama at Saddleback Church. According to what I've heard, each candidate will be asked questions by Warren for approximately 45 minutes. It won't be a debate in the sense that the candidates will answer questions separately.
Here are a few of my observations:
1. Warren seems to be continuing the honorable tradition of Billy Graham of speaking life into the political process without endorsing a particular candidate or party.
2. Both candidates must think they have a great opportunity at receiving the vote of evangelicals or they wouldn't be appearing at Saddleback Church.
3. Warren's influence seems to be increasing because of God's favor. He was on the cover of one of the major weekly magazines last week and now this. With that influence, he becomes a greater target for the enemy. I think it would be great if we would pray for him as this Sunday night special airs--that God will use him as a voice of righteousness and protect him from the destructive plans of the enemy.

So true - we need to team with Rick Warren, in the spiritual, and conduct spiritual warfare on his behalf! His dream is a big one and it takes teamwork to make your dream work!!
Fighting the good fight,

Wow, we watched it and there were definitely some hard questions asked. I think Pastor Rick did a great Job!
