Carrie Prejean/ Rick Warren – Which One Is The Man?
Pastor Mark Holick with forword by Rev. Flip Benham • 4/24/2009
  Carrie Prejean a 21 yr. old beauty queen from California stood for the truth of God's Word as she was questioned by a homosexual Miss USA pageant judge. She said, "... I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman," she said. "No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised. I think that it should be between a man and a woman." Later on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday, Prejean explained that she would rather be "biblically correct" than politically correct, she spoke up for God and her beliefs. It is likely she lost the title for her answer. Carrie was essentially reprimanded for not towing the liberal orthodoxy.
This judge has subsequently put on his blog a picture of Carrie holding a microphone with the microphone photo chopped out and replaced with a body part. And they call us the intolerant ones? Conversely, Rick Warren, pastor of one of the largest churches in America, also from California, was recently on Larry King Live. King asked him about his comment in support of Proposition 8 in California which defined marriage as between one man and one woman. He said, "he never once gave an endorsement of the marriage amendment." He also stated, "I have never been and never will be" an "anti-gay or anti-gay marriage activist." (Note: I know that Warren did give and endorsement for Prop 8 but his waffling and lies are for another time.) So there you have it. A present day picture of the American Church. A church where the best man... is a woman. Prejean risked everything, Warren risked nothing. Prejean followed the cross, Warren followed Warren. Prejean pleased the Lord, Warren pleased men. James 4:4, Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. A church full of estrogen and little testosterone. A church full of mercy and little justice. Judges 8:20, And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth. We are a church full of youth, unwilling to confront evil. You see, Prejean and Warren are us, the church of the Lord Jesus in America, the Christians who willingly choose estrogen laden pastors via estrogen rich pew sitters. We attend there, put our tithes there. We bring our friends, family, and children there... "oh my." How can a man who so blatantly cowers with the Lord's Word on Larry King have 1,000's upon 1,000's of willing church members? Why is a 21 yr. old female more courageous than a national know pastor? We have become sinfully nice Christians that pet evil instead of hating evil. Psalm 26:5, I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. I say Carrie Prejean for Pastor of Saddleback Church. But, alas, she could never be elected, not because she is a woman, but because she is too much a man. And this would make too many in the Saddleback pews, uncomfortable. Does it make you and I uncomfortable?
