The Brian McLaren who markets himself as a Christian while blessing his son's sodomite union now announces that someone asked him to compose an inaugural benediction, which he did:
Living God, whose glory surpasses every name and creed by which we seek to honor you, May our leaders become less concerned about the splinters in the eyes of their opponents and more concerned about the planks in their own. May our people reject the allure of dishonest and arrogant voices and be drawn instead to leaders who are humble, kind, and wise. May we stop measuring wealth by money alone and strength by weapons alone. May we return to our deepest American values of honesty, industry, frugality, conviviality, and peace. May we become one nation under you indeed. Amen.
While claiming to be a Christian, Brian says God's glory surpasses every name and creed by which "we" seek to honor him. But Jesus Himself said:
I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. - John 14:6
Once again Brian announces to the world that he's not a pastor, but the sort of wolf Scripture warns us against.
