    Pragmatism at its finest

    Truly saddening.

  3. Randy Kyle says:

    2 year old articles – guess relevant laid off their writing staff

  4. Joseph Dunbar says:

    Ive noticed that the tv preachers never use the Bible. They dont read from it – they walk back and forth tell jokes, stories and give out therapy advice but no scriptures.

    Ummmmmm hard pass

  6. Lungiselelo Luzukiso Roberts says:

    Never put it past a church to indulge atrocity. Vast immorality and desecration has plagued churches since the first century. Good ordained churches like those of Asia Minor in John’s viewing. Beware, be watchful, and be a witness.

    Satan can read all of Harry Emerson Fosdick’s sermons for free. He’s not up to roaming about with cvid19 since he is more than 65.He can simulcast on Comcast.

  8. Aaron Dullinger says:

    Sounds like they want a good public speaker.

  9. Peter Grapsas says:

    In the ancient times, they used to get trained to speak in public. That was a skill that was very important to connect with your audience. So yes, every preacher should train and practise to connect with his audience. However, it must be united with biblical substance and sound understanding of biblical texts.

    Anyone who answers this ad do not know the lord Jesus and His Father at all. A new bible college graduate might go for it not understanding thats a trap .

  11. Gwali Melton says:

    They would have done themselves a far better service to meet on Sundays and midweeks and just take turns to read passages of Scripture and pray.

  12. Michael Back says:

    I don’t understand why you would hire someone to preach someone else’s sermons word for word. If you like Andy Stanley’s sermons, watch his videos.

    Just weird.

  13. Matt Breeding says:

    Terrible concept, especially using the examples they did of Stanley and Furtick.

  14. Daniel P Campbell says:

    So much for inspiration

  15. Mark Gregory Catano says:

    What if the material is solid and from a respected source?

    It’s more of a facilitating role but if it’s an alternative to some of the aforementioned “pastors” why not?

    Of course the individual should pursue more in depth training but in the meantime take the position.

    Is this not what is done in third world countries where highly trained individuals are not readily available?

    This is a great conversation to be had.

  16. Joseph Aaron says:

    I could do that with some sermons I’ve heard lol

  17. Mary Sova Lefler says:

    Unbelievable

    We peacher are not the cook that makes the spiritual food by adding flavor to it!!
    We are the waiter who’s sole purpose is to deliver the food from our shef “God” to hungering souls!!

    Christian Apologetics you denied my post I tried to put up about Calvinism saying we hAve to respect other people’s beliefs because we are all in this together but you allow this post up which is making comments to call the pastor of my church Steven Furtick a imposter. however my point is how is it fair he can make statements about a pastor I am taught by but I can’t make comments about Calvinism being a wrong teaching (because it is)

  20. Ross Duncan says:

    Give it to them. It’s what they are accustomed to, unknowingly deceived by, and love.

    But don’t call it a church and don’t call him (or her for that matter) a pastor!!
