The role of the pastor is to embody the gospel. We need each other to properly interpret scripture the body. I have been hearing from a few folks. Not a clue. Sometimes because of past hurts in churches, when I go to a church service, I just want to be an anonymous person who sits in the back. Could you comment on that?

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. A lot of these groups are, to my mind, strongly analogous to the none/done population. It is much more than that and there are many, many Christians who do this quite well without drawing any attention to themselves at all.

My point was in response to a completely different statement the idea that we are saved to go on missions. Ezekiel 34 describes, unfortunately, false shepherds. Lay people are the backbone of the church. That makes me sad. I briefly attended McLean Bible Church, pastored by Lon Solomon, back in the mid-1980s. He was completely tone deaf to our concerns. It is our reasonable service in light of Who God is. Most people happen to believe that a pastor should be more than a podcast on legs. In other words, ISTM that the Mohler faction has won that war. Anyone can listen to Platt on podcasts. The teaching became ever more shallow, the focus shifted from sound teaching to pop-culture issues and my husband and I believe thats what set it up to bring Platt in. I hate all this back room deception and gaming. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earth to us..

Here is a cautious, rather underwhelming, statement from the trustees att the IMB : Our president, Dr. David Platt, has expressed a deep sense of calling to serve as 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. Coming late to this but yes. I think there is more going on. Deep stuff like At the Movies or You Asked for It. I am surprised the IMB would go for this. Problem is Jesus shepherded in another fashion and ran off when people wanted him to be a celebrity. If Im not mistaken, K. Deyoung is also a competitive masters runner. My husband had tears in his eyes. think of how useful the church facility could be to the community instead of sitting closed up 96% of the week.

It so happens we know a couple hereabouts who spent several years living in Nepal indeed, but for a specific unforeseen family commitment (Im deliberately being vague as Ive not asked their permission to share their story) they might still be there. Anyone who claims the title of lead pastor or head pastor is usurping Jesus authority in the lives of believers. God. Im sure they could help Mr Platt find a fulfilment of his dream. Pastor has lost its meaning entirely, much like the terms gospel and biblical. Not to mention the let-us-introduce-you-to-some-seminary-students during nursing school.

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?
