Im thinking that going on comedy shows is never going to come off as you would want. Rick is a proof of that. The only way to make a good stand is to hijack the conversation, shut down colbert and take your best shot at bringing the law in. If you dont, you will only be the butt of jokes and leave nothing more than anecdotes instead of scripture truth. The Joking keeps the preacher off his own platform and on to colberts.

Grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone. How much time and effort does that take? He had several opportunities to give the gospel. Grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone.

I wish a biblical Christian would get on Colbert's show and look him down and tell him about his coming wrath unless he repents. Don't be mean, just be factual.

If you can play in this forum, you'll amass goodwill and have a good time. But it will be just a matter of time before any shells of perception are broken, and the rejoinders are memorized by the majority. Rick Warren should have never gone on the show; not because he can't give good answers (I'm still undecided on that), but because it's not his forum. It's not *my* kind of forum, and I like the show. He should keep doing books or blogs so he can craft his answers more carefully.

He would have dished it right back! The weak confused grandpa version of God that can do no more than gum you because he has no teeth is apparently the god that Rick believes in. I recommend Dr. Bob's 8 lectures on the sovereignty of God that exposes this false grandpa view of god and exalts the only true God of scripture AMEN!
