All the best! But it has come at the cost of ministry (unto the LORD, tent of meeting).

Does not. He had an 8 week hiatus in July and August, nice work if you can get it. Yeah, church life wont keep theologians in check. Abandoning the Arnold Smartarse joke for a moment (!

The church is the Bride of Christ, it is a place to make disciples and make the Gospel known. Silence, as the cancer stealthy grows? Ok, maybe Im missing something but hes offering to preach for free, the church is being very wise in theyre decision making, David Platt knows his family and what he needs to do to spend time with him. I wanted to remain in that role. Lol. What next pants down so we can see his undergarments? We do need bread from heaven we live by the Word of God; it should come from the pulpit, but God can use anyone to bring forth a word, anywhere. Those of us who have seen behind the curtain know that it is not real. @ Todd Wilhelm: One of the benefits this boundary has brought to our church is that we are very clearly not a pastor-centered church.

I think that Platt has a good point. final sermon at The Church at Brook Hills today and he stated he still has the dream of going on mission to Nepal. I suggest you spend some time in your 10 hours of studying Gods word to review what is involved in being a pastor. Is it common for Calvinist pastors to preach almost word for word Piper / MacArthurs sermons on the same exact texts? I think I now have the answer. Of course, were they to turn it into a profit center and start renting it out for profit, thatd be different, but nothing in the tax code stops them from performing a community service like that. In some cases, a speech impediment LOL at Dee telling Deb to check her text messages. Interesting, I always thought Platt was the dullard they sent on errands when they talked about the secret stuff. I was furious but also too new to the church and too scared to call him out on it. Its no wonder men want it for themselves; its no wonder so many idealistic, but ambitious and easily-seduced young men are both dazzled by those who find fame and fortune doing it, and want it for themselves. You cant have it both ways and these special privileges may prove to be a future rationalization for govern, And the churches want to remain tax exempt, but they certainly do want to benefit from the taxes others pay in: I remember folks telling me to never attend the last Sunday morning service because he loves to ramble on waaaay over time since he doesnt have to worry about the next service. . Call him a speaker, not a pastor. Human nature says yes. I would hate to see old church buildings have to all be sold because the congregation couldnt afford exorbitant property taxes. I have NEVER had anyone do that in communion before. And yes very sad. Of course, a lot of people in their church have no idea their pastor has somebody else write their sermons and they dont go elsewhere very often, so they wouldnt realize it. He demonstrates his attitude that he can dress down for Sunday service. Yes, a traveling speaker seems like a much better productive role for him but we are just the uneducated layman of the church body, what do we know? He actually knew my name and used it. My husband had tears in his eyes. The one who dries your tears and holds your hand in the hospital and does your funeral and your weddings. David Platt (ThM, PhD, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary) is the pastor-teacher of McLean Bible Church, founder of Radical, and a Council member of The Gospel Coalition. ___ Scripture also uses terms like laborers together with God. Association of Related Churches IMHO Peter was doing evangelism, like Billy Graham, for example, and not pastoring. I appreciate so much the need for discernment and advocating for victims, but I dont see any crimes here, just a lot of fault finding where there really doesnt seem to be any fault. I believe Jesus summed this up best when he followed up the first greatest commandment with the second, to love your neighbor as yourself. I mean, they were so mad I have no doubt theyre trying to find me. You both nailed it to the wall! Im aware that the owner of a local restaurant does something similar. He was completely tone deaf to our concerns. Are people these days accustomed to this style of church where theyre just a number and only there to listen to someone completely detached from their lives speak to them for 45 minutes or so?

Wow, I really hope he does not return to full time pastoring. Her health took a turn for the worse and she past away while in intensive care. Thats what our church family is for. @ Nick Bulbeck: Warren observes that this never impresses him, and that it raises the question of whether they love the people theyre preaching to as much as they love the rush of public speaking. But they can never cover all of life, and if the manual was so complete, then we would not have the freedom to go and do. Good little Suckers in the Mooch-and-Sucker Show. With the IMB and the NAMB and 9Marks and ERLC there, it sure looks like there will be political consolidation in D.C. of what used to be known as the SBC. @ dee: Presented by a city councilman and including several city engineers. (Make it uncomfortable for them by degrees, so that they sign or leave? David Platt unfortunately comes across as manipulating and disingenuous. In my opinion, the real trick is how much of that stuff do you (generic you) wanna extrapolate out the Bibles way back when and try an make it apply in the here and now? Sopy, youve been too long on the mushrooms I think. I sincerely doubt that Platt has the mental acuity you have. My point was in response to a completely different statement the idea that we are saved to go on missions. Sure, theyll get a real piece of work for a pastor now and again, but hes usually removed before the damage can escalate. And to boot in the New Testament era when such single leader roles are absolutely no part of the New Testament? His sermon on Acts opened our eyes when he introduced some social justice themes in his sermon that had literally nothing to do with the text. Yep, I am one of the liberals and it has created much exiling in my SBC life. MBC needs to pray for discernment and examine Davids teachings. Prayer will lead the Church to Glorify God, Shouldnt we all be spending time with Christ, studying? And, sometimes, you get the pleasure of seeing their petty responses to someone that they have no other way of harming. Its absurd on its face, its not true. Spy Thus, the model in the New Testament is shared leadership. I am not convinced the humility David Platt exhibits is real, considering his celebrity status and the lack of persecution from the world. I believe he is fitting in quite nicely with the harlot institutional church, using the Name of our LORD for his own personal glory. I have not seen that to be true in most churches with most Teaching on Sunday Elders. +++++++++++++++++++++++. Lay people are the backbone of the church. You must have T.U.L.I.P., the doctrines of grace. @ Todd Wilhelm: Why would people say Jesus loves me and just stop there; where is the rest of the sentence as to what that means to be loved by God? Only managed a crazy sounding chuckle . As JMJ over at Christian Monist would frequently point out, theres a LOT of Guilt Manipulation in the church. Its all part of the business. That kind of New Testament model? It is both costly and enriching to do so. Incidentally, in the spirit of holding fast to that which is good, Ill choose to remember David Platt for his superb goal for England against Belgium in the 1990 World Cup finals in Italy: And why didnt Jesus, His Disciples, and His Apostles, make the big bucks and the lives of the rich and famous as we see witnessed today with the great evangelists, preachers and teachers of our day? I believe this is the way missions should be viewed and accomplished. He is now our teaching pastor and I am thrilled God brought him to. Do we condemn them after we have taken our profit (Ezek. Whats up with this? http://www.wadeburleson.org/2017/06/the-southern-baptist-international.html. Yes, but Platt played the deep sense of calling (from God) card which translated into plain English means I have a better job offer and this is your notice.

What is Jesus gospel? Would be beneficial if more people pastored in like fashion. think of how useful the church facility could be to the community instead of sitting closed up 96% of the week, it could be the locale for after-school tutoring, teaching english, teaching vocational skills, job counseling, a place for performing arts, plays, concerts, meals served to homeless people. Running so fast, so frantically cramming his life full to overflowing, it doesnt seem as if there would be any time left over to listen to a still small voice, among the least of these.

Of course, were they to turn it into a profit center and start renting it out for profit, thatd be different, but nothing in the tax code stops them from performing a community service like that.

GSD, I try to use gender inclusive language, but I dont bend over backwards. If one then takes this approach and looks at a goodly number of other things in scripture which Christians argue about one finds a lot more leeway in scripture than apparently some folks want to tolerate in todays church culture and practice.

Perhaps he isnt really so committed to being radical? Anyone who claims the title of lead pastor or head pastor is usurping Jesus authority in the lives of believers. Bringing out the same exact thoughts / ideas? Every inch of my kitchen counter is covered with stuff. It was always my thought to have one foot in the academy and one foot in the Church; thereby, bringing both together and exposing more people in the Church to the advantages of the academy.

These pastors do a lot of fund raising in the USA, selling themselves as making a huge impact on the muslim world for the cause of Christ. His rise to national prominence has inspired many people with speech impediments. To shepherd is literally to feed. Also, the church scattered (during the week) is where much evangelism and service takes place, because they have just been fed on Gods great love. at MBC platt was speaking about salvation and missions.. and i quote reason you were saved is to go on missions. Smyth started preaching at CLC on January 8, 2017. Yes- he is doing it for free. He looks nothing like David Platt. In kinda scratching my head here. I know of a Bible church in our area (the Triangle Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) where it appears the elders, not the congregation, hand-picked the pastor. But the body is more than church life, and the Academy is supposed to serve the Church. To me, its not mainly about feeding. When he was three my son once told a woman in the checkout line that I once threw him like a football. David Tennant is dying to work with Aaron Sorkin. You are correct if one finds a 501(c)3 church establishment which has all the makings/trappings of being a place where one man is apparently in charge, this is certainly not a true biblical representation of a local body of Christ. I get what youre saying, but people in regular jobs can be run out by one person who doesnt like them. (I first learned of it fromSBC This Week.). I am preparing myself to disciple others. Of course there are many in between, but I continue to be amazed how many people do not put much thought into what they do and say.. our immediate culture is makin this worse. It evolved; a culture developed around it; rules and regulations; holidays and celebrations; the yearly church calendar; working people could show up, pay up, and leave; eventually the CEO posted a job roster for the volunteers; duties and titles; gender roles; power and access became linked to donated money; book$ and conference$ and web$ite$ and broadcast$; celebrity and status; trips and missions and safaris; etc. Having been in SBC churches for 20 years, I can honestly say that most megachurch sermons are shallow and quite devoid of teaching of Scripture. Of course, you can do some evangelism at the church site. Small fellowships are well and good, but you darn well better get your fanny in a seat to hear the pastor preach on a regular basis, or else youre doin it wrong. We do exactly what He said not to do, excusing it with the idea we are contextualizing it for today or that today is different than Bible times, and then get our panties in a wad when things go badly. So many turn to sermon services and hide in their offices reading books or doing anything else but writing their sermon. At least theyre coming to understand that, whilst its relatively simple to join something, belonging is more complex. In the UK there has been a complete silence from UK church leaders about Mahaney.

They seem to have united around pragmatic Authoritarianism and Complementarianism. Some are completely reasonable, and some would run any old church in an area that appreciated out of town. I think those who are critical of David and this arrangement with MBC dont understand the church. Lots of kids to boot. Its very much a privilege of churches that can insulate the preacher from the congregation. Im not so sure God is so worried about all our acronyms..SBC, IMB, etc Is not our mission unity in love Making disciples, preaching the word to all nations? That sounds like a good first step, but its not a guarantee. I dont know Platt. Paul talks about the fellowship of His sufferings.
