John Piper has invited Rick Warren to speak at the 2010 Desiring God National Conference. Like many, I am a bit concerned by this. I am not overly fond of Rick Warren. But here’s the thing – I trust John Piper. His preaching is solid, his mastery of Scripture is solid, his devotional life seems solid, his walk seems solid, etc. He is not a perfect man. He makes mistakes. Inviting Rick Warren could prove to be one of those mistakes. But I trust John Piper and if Piper decides to invite Warren, I may not like it, but I will trust Piper’s choice and will be interested to hear what Warren says.

Update:
Here is Piper explaining why he invited Warren. I may be re-evaluating my view of Warren.
