I listened again to the video.  “If you are really that big and bad, then go start your own.”

What?  Why is it that this man thinks he has a corner on God and that no one else can hear from God to do His work?  I think there are so many wounded sheep that if they can find a group who will nurture and encourage them back into the fold, why would another pastor care?  After all the shepherd doesn’t produce the sheep, sheep produce sheep and if they are sick and wounded, they don’t usually produce well?  I suggest, “Lift up Jesus and leave the results of what others are doing to Him.”

In reviewing it again without knowing this man’s ministry or work, it almost sounds like he is sowing the very discord he says he is against????

@ Jimmy regarding the “Situation”

Bingo.  You get the prize.

WOW!  Does this pompous jerk not even know what Church Planting is???  How does anyone grow to be a church planter, if they don’t have a home church to nurture them first.  He is just bitter.  Stupid.  You could take hundreds of people from his church and no one would notice because it is so big and impersonal. 

And being called to the elite.  Give me a break..  Rich people don’t need Jesus?  What a complete hypocrite!  Where does he think his church is?  It definitely is not in the ghetto of all ghettos.  It is located near one of the most elite suburbs in DFW: South Lake/Colleyville, not to mention Coppell and Grapevine??? 

I don’t see him planting a church in Oak Cliff, where people must need Jesus the most. 

Also, FYI, church planting is not opening muliple venues and putting your face up on a video screen for people to worship!  Hmm...sound familiar??

Church Planters, plant where God calls you!@

Shocking!

This is exactly what happened at my church about a year ago.  There was a church split and during all the turmoil, the pastor said from the pulpit for people not to ask where he was going if it came to his leaving.  He wasn’t interested (so he said) in taking people with him.  Then when it came down to him leaving, what did he do?  He starts a church practically in our backyard (not literally, of course) and many of the members followed!  Although I felt it was him time to go, I really questioned his integrity after this happened.

Ok, Ok, enough already, I am sorry that Ed made this staff meeting public gee can’t anyone say anything anymore without 129 people getting bent out of shape and chewing on each other, turn it up people, ok so Ed does all of everything because he wants all the salary for working so hard he does not want to share the income with the rest, he wants the private jet to himself so he can go on vacation with his family like he did last March when he went to Seattle, so he wants all the royalties from the books so that in 15 years or so he can have the Ed Young Jnr dinisty, so what he is in charge, he said he would come to South Africa and then cancelled at the last minute, but that’s ok he is Capt Bligh of the Bounty , you Americans have created this kind of leader so suck it up and live with it untill God shows up and changes it. The church of Christ keeps on coming

It is bothersome that the comments on Ed’s blog are so tightly moderated.  I tried ot post but of course it was shot down.  Better to have no comments than only filter through the ones you like.

I poked a bit more around his blog and felt like I was discovering what it would be like if Matthew McConeghy (sp?) became a Christian.  Ed in the gym.  Ed makes coffee. Ed. Ed. Ed. ED. ED. ED.
