Stolen Good: Tempted to Plagiarize by Thomas G. Long

Dr. Ray Van Neste of Union University points out this article from Thomas Long entitled "Stolen Good: Tempted to Plagiarize."

I highly recommend this argicle. It gives much food for thought.

I really appreciate this comment from Long that Dr. Van Neste quoted HERE. It really emphasizes the disconnect between congregations and pastors who plagiarize.

The preacher comes from the pews to stand in the pulpit. Only preachers who deliver their own sermons stand with one foot in the life of the people and one foot in the biblical text. No Internet preacher stands in this same place. No borrowed sermon, however fine, can answer the question that cries out from every congregation, "Is there a word today, a word for us, from the Lord?"
