The CORE Team Does Sex Talks for Wisconsin Lutheran College Frosh

1. What's your sign?
   
2. Are we related?
   
3. Is your dad a thief or something? Because someone stole the stars and put them into your eyes!
   
4. Am I cute enough yet? Or do you need more to drink?
   
5. Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

"Our Valpo" loves to fling its poo pot at faithful members. To wit:

1. WLC organized Charis, which began Church and Chicanery.
   
2. WLC made its students take a course from Paul Kelm - on Reformed doctrine and Church Growth. The propaganda course was required for graduation. Does Fuller require a course in Lutheran doctrine for graduation?
   
3. WLC featured sodomite Archbishop Weakland and a bevy of Roman priests in a series of public lectures. Weakland claimed children wanted sex with adults. He had a love affair with a young man and paid his partner off with church funds.
   
4. WLC invited Martin Marty to lecture. When the Michigan District lodged a formal protest, the invitation was defended. Guy Purdue said, "WLC just gave the Michigan District the finger." Y'all keep taking it, so they keep doing it.

GJ - Absolutely nothing has been done about The CORE's plagiarism of Craig Groeschel sermon themes.

Here is the Ski tweet:

Week #1 of Unstoppable down. Pastor Tim [Glende] did a gr8 job with vision. My topic this week: Unstoppable Idiots... is that stereotyping?

Here is the Groeschel source:

What would happen if we truly embraced our mission to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ? We could become an unstoppable force. Join us as we look forward to what God has in store for us.

November 30th: "Unstoppable Idiots"

Update: Here’s the deal. Tadd Grandstaff plagiarized Craig Groeschel’s sermon, in particular the sermon illustration. Listen to this audio to hear his first attempt at apologizing, and then listen to his second apology.

That’s cool that Tadd finally apologized, but this does not minimize the seriousness of the error and the philosophy of preaching underneath all of this. Southern Baptist pulpits have become auctioned off to the best sermon with the coolest graphics and the catchiest sermon series. Pulpit plagiarism is akin to ministerial pragmatism. Sermons are being preached that compromise the integrity of the preacher that carry the promise of better results. God-called preachers tethered to the sacred text should not be bartered off this way. The call to preach simply should not be up for sale.

However, that is not to say that we do not learn or benefit from the writings or sermons of other people! We all benefit to some degree or another from being taught by other people. Yet the burden of the preacher is to carry the weight of the sermon in his own bosom, having labored over the text of God’s Word himself.

Update 2: Craig Groeschel on plagiarizing pastors: “On LifeChurch.tv Open, we don’t require attribution for resources that people download and use. We don’t need credit nor desire it. . . . It isn’t plagiarizing if you’re given permission.” Timmy Brister

GJ - So here is the punchline to the blog post above. Groeschel won't let the video proof run because of copyright restrictions. So he likes being copied, but he will bring down the force of the law on anyone who offers actual proof of the laziness of ministers today. A sincere Christian leader would encourage pastors to do their own work - but wolves like to run in packs.
