How long will it take the 13-25 thousand people who attend services at the McLean Bible multi-plex Church in Northern Virginia on a regular basis to realize they are being had by preachers who are now pushing stealth Calvinism, and hanging out with and supporting 501(c)3 organizations that do?

Sorry for initiating a rabbit trail but to clarify a classical liberal is more like a libertarian but sees the need for just a tad more government. extremely disappointing, disillusioning.

The legal profession just balks. Everything is for show to make the congregation think theres actual ministry going on. Problem is Jesus shepherded in another fashion and ran off when people wanted him to be a celebrity. It seems perfectly obvious to me that He wants more when it comes to eternity than just hanging around and thinking pleasant thoughts, so to speak. What does this mean? Im sure they could help Mr Platt find a fulfilment of his dream. I will grant you that he spoke at other church in the UAE and other countries during some of those weeks, but the fact is he is paid a salary by the UCCD members to be the senior pastor at their church. It is the body of Christ. Its kind of like I got a new boss one time who made a point to tell the organization that he did NOT have an open door policy. He has bigger things to do. We all hold each others hands in the hospital. My wife just got home from her evening shift & I put in overtime. What never ceases to amaze me is that many who know that do not care as long as they get to participate in the fantasy! Those things cannot be torn apart and pitted against each other; they are part and parcel of the whole. In fact, upon being appointed, Platt actually said, I now see the beauty of the CP. Running a huge bureaucracy like the IMB is no fun, and a huge church can be a rush if you go for that kind of thing and have staff to take care of the administrative stuff.

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.

How many of our churches are creating spiritual diabetics? Different people; different needs. There was a youth minister a childrens minister and an education Minister. My church now has quite short sermons, with liturgy. As I wrote last night, the trend over the last 20 years (and especially the last 10 years) has been consolidation of power around Mohler and Mohler loyalists with the only doctrinal essentials being Authoritarianism (meaning loyalty to whatever they say) and Complementarianism. The entitlement mentally is astonishing. I get what youre saying, but people in regular jobs can be run out by one person who doesnt like them. And one more thing. Yes and he is only speaking 65% of the time! But making the pulpit and the weekly sermon the center of our spiritual lives seems odd to me. While he was at Brook Hills it was practically heresy to disagree with David.). He will never know the names of the members of his church. My guess is they are already intertwined in more ways than folks might understand. Which is part of why I like liturgy; the sermon can be a dud but there is still substance in the rest of the service. Our main motivation is Who God is, and that informs us as to how to love one another (because He first loved us). I think that is part of a church being well run, in a way. They just say they do. Soon the hospital evidences a growing problem. He will show up on Sunday morning and preach about 30 or so weeks in the year. He was completely tone deaf to our concerns. My problem with the tax breaks for churches and staff is they dont want government intrusion but then want to keep special exemptions. He looks nothing like David Platt. I have said for years, that the problem with many of these pastors is that they want to be Evangelists like Billy Graham, but they want the security of a permanent church. LOL at Dee telling Deb to check her text messages. This gets dicey when one looks at Jesus own descriptions of the judgment, with Himself as the judge, and He spells out what people whom He knows look like in their behavior. David Eigenberg isn't deaf in real life, thus he doesn't need hearing aids or have speech problems. Just where can you find all these multitalented people who are biblical scholars who can do all their own research, have a commanding ability at teaching, are people persons who are adept at counseling and hand holding and socializing (three different things there) and who will work 80 hours a week for minimum pay and who refuse to delegate but do it all themselves? 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. Now I dont know what to do. Vs 14 God says I know He Aaron can speak very well obviously God knew that Moses did have some legit problem with speech like stuttering. i think most pastors are trained (whether by others or by self) to feel justified in being the recipient of tax breaks. If youre a religious figure, you can designate some portion of your income (up to a certain point, please consult with your tax advisor) as compensation for housing. I happen to know his income will almost double. I had often wondered whether they just liked to hear themselves speak? Dont get me wrongI believe the Bible clearly gives the church a fair amount of temporal authority and does enjoin us to provide for folks temporal needs, be they material or emotional or whatever. I was listening to Platts final sermon at The Church at Brook Hills today and he stated he still has the dream of going on mission to Nepal. I think that Platt has a good point. I dont believe we are fed on Sunday morning in some special way. He is extremely casual in his attire and can come across *not put together. I guess being on the fence is another word for being in the wilderness. He thought it might help me to understand what good seminaries teach about being a pastor. well, and they themselves explained the gospel when the occasion demanded. When he recently encountered a young man who stutters at a Keene, Before we get into this post, let's take a look back at the views that Ed Stetzerhad about his former pastoral role in churches. One is an outgrowth of the other. . 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. The pastor did show for the funeral, but came with an understudy (seminary student?). @ refugee: WebApril 2004. IMB deserves a full time, fully engaged chief executive. solution pollution Posts: 49. I disagree here. Its a lie that endures because the congregations think that should be how much time a pastor spends on the sermon. most megachurch sermons are shallow and quite devoid of teaching of Scripture.
