licentiousness (sex, drugs, etc.) and rebellion (“I can do whatI want to do any old time”), and this is nowhere more evidentthan in the music of Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles.There is no excuse for this action on the part of aninfluential pastor who should set a standard of godlinessinstead of carnal foolishness. I want to say again publicly,Shame on Rick Warren, and shame on his fellow SouthernBaptist Convention leaders for not publicly andunequivocally rebuking him for such worldly shenanigans.“And be not conformed to this world: but be yetransformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye mayprove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, willof God” (Romans 12:2).“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works ofdarkness, but rather reprove them” (Ephesians 5:11).“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that thefriendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoevertherefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy ofGod” (James 4:4).“Love not the world, neither the things that are in theworld. If any man love the world, the love of the Fatheris not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of theflesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is notof the Father, but is of the world. And the world passethaway, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will ofGod abideth for ever” (1 John 2:15-17).53
