I just read a great post by Steve Hall, over at his blog, entitled, “strange negotiations: an open letter to everyone.” Steve’s complaint is that celebrity pastor’s, with their tweets and blogs and videos and what-not, muddy the water by making such huge waves. They take on issues and each other’s issues in such a public way that it leaves him always doing damage control instead of ministry. Here’s an exert:
But here’s the problem, boys. My people read what you write. They listen to what you say. They track your tweets. What may take you a matter of minutes or hours to post–a controversial video clip, a dismissive tweet, or a fear-mongering blog–takes me months of sidetracking discussion, confusion, and chaos. You’re creating dissension and dischord in the body, a trait which is much more akin to the false teachers noted in Scripture than any of the theological musings you so obstreperously condemn.
It’s totally worth the read. Go check it out here: strange negotiations: an open letter to everyone
