Its all part of the business. Joined a lovely little church which felt like family the moment I walked in the door. Worship is the response to a revelation of Who God is. I do think ministry of the Word takes precedence over pastoral care. He was senior pastor at the Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama, from 2006 to 2014. But, I try to see every person who comes to me as a long lost brother or sister. I had no idea who David Platt was two months ago, until I started listening to his sermons. That does not excuse poor leadership or unwise over-commitments as Platt seems to be doing here. I'm very upfront with my role to my church. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earth to us.. And its the craziest thing ever. No longer are the artisan bakers needed too costly; standardize the formula and hire those who will not think but just follow the dictates of the formula how to do it. Its soft and glides down the throat kids love it with the crust cut-off. I believe they will be held accountable. So yes, I do think they dont really care about the other things, too. Being hired to spend your week writing sermons and you lie about it and let someone else write them. Find a church in which the pastor knows you name and truly cares about you-not an abstract you who is just a part of a mass of faces. I never really made it past the Introduction in the book 9 Marks of a Healthy Church because he did not include prayer in the 9 Marks. A lot of people love David Platt but I am not a fan, and the idea that he can lead the IMB and spend that much time on one sermon per week, while trying to raise a family and be a godly man, is astonishing to me. And therein lies the rub. A 15th century religious darkness is descending upon McLean Bible Church? And in most of these churches, members arent allowed to do much ministry either, because they have paid staff for that who make 4-10x more than the average member of the congregation. 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.

But the body is more than church life, and the Academy is supposed to serve the Church. I cannot see the pastor as all that in Bible. Celebrity pastors who are in it for the fame, money, or to deceptively change a church polity. Once the bible (or more specifically what some people try to do with the bible} is treated as simply a different version of the old Jewish idea of law and thus turned into a burden too heavy to bear-then we can quote Jesus himself about the fact that creating burdens like that is a big time no-no. As others have already stated here, he is exhausting to listen to, and we feel very beat up after his sermons. Still, he remained there 8 years and was sent off to the IMB with cheers and praise. It is a very unusual pastoral position that David Platt is undertaking. In other words, I am thinking that different people have different needs, and some folks cannot deal with chaos and want rules and procedures and organization and having somebody in charge. Without a revelation of Who God is, the people will run wild, unrestrained. But what exactly do these terms mean? I think this explains the dislike many of them have for bloggers.

Even using the same example and telling them as if they had happened to him. Just being a preacher doesnt make you a pastor. I agree with pretty much all the critique here. You left out charlatans and congenital liars. There is no excuse for the lack of shepherding, love, and caring that we are seeing in the modern church.

Wake me up, wake me up inside I cant wake up,Wake me up inside, save me,Call my name and save me from the dark, wake me upBid my blood to run, I cant wake upBefore I come undone, save meSave me from the nothing Ive become Wow, thats a ridiculous number of roles hes taking on.

In oterh words, find a real church.. Their doctrines are like leaven and Jesus warned us to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Just today he seems to throw a jab at Paige Patterson. And to boot in the New Testament era when such single leader roles are absolutely no part of the New Testament? If a merger is in the works (someone at SBC Today suggested that might be the case and was chided by a writer at SBCVoices for writing it which made me think its true) Ezell seems like the likely candidate. Real people need real pastors who walk with them through real life like Jesus did, not an image projected on a screen that is scripted and is not real. Rather than whole-wheat flour with all its bran and uneven texture, enriched bleached white flour makes a uniform product and its cheaper and plentiful from corporate granaries that have their own juggernaut marketing and distribution channels.
