The Greear/Litton plagiarism saga is pathetic. Two causes: 1) the creation of Docent so pastors can quote books they didn’t read & research they didn’t do just to sound impressive on Sunday. 2) The TGC-world has turned the sermon into a hoisted sacrament.
Greear said Docent makes him “look good.” Why does he need to look good? He’s in a culture that makes the sermon the point of Sunday. Therefore, Sunday is about the preacher’s skills. Greear’s & other pastor’s testimonials on why they need Docent are sad. web.archive.org/web/2012031718…
I’ll stop here, but you’re less likely to get plagiarism when the Lord’s Supper is the center of Sunday’s weekly experience as recommended by the 1960 Church of Scotland manual & John Calvin. Sunday is not the preacher. It’s not. Pastors aren’t the hero on Sunday.
