Here is a link to some articles that Michael Horton wrote after his appearance on 60 Minutes in which he was intereviewed for a segment on Joel Osteen ( 60 Minutes, Osteen, and Horton ). Horton is one of the most articulate theologians of our day. His comments are thoughtful, truthful, and timely.

Disturbing ( The New Age of Purpose Driven ). I read Smith's book about a year ago. He makes some very compelling arguments. Rick Warren is a brother in Christ. But I must admit "The Purpose Driven Life" has some very deep flaws. Warren's use, rather frequent misuse of Scripture is very troubling.
