You make some good points. I will add this too because i am just as guilty of it. It is almost like pastors and teachers tend to only go towards one stream of theology and make that theological stream an idol. I really think Matt Chandler was right in calling pastors that want to be the next mark driscoll jackasses because they don’t understand that God has a specific mantle for only them. (this actually was said at an Acts 29 conference in seattle in 2008.) They are stupid people that have never been taught that they should put their own personality into their sermons and bible studies. Heck, it’s becomming more common for pastors to plagerize from sermons online. (I actually knew somebody that got fired from a small church that actually ripped people’s sermons off online in 2003.)

A cigar sounds great when we get back to Vegas. =) As far as the “good teachings” thing goes: YES, you are exactly right, Paul DOES tell us to teach sounds doctrine. That is exactly what my post is saying we need! (Not the opposite) All i’m questioning is the METHOD by which we TEACH that doctrine. I’m suggesting that it might not be ONE man at a pulpit preaching a sermon to a group of spectators week after week, that’s all. Good teaching, in my book, can be measured by whether or not the STUDENT is equipped to TEACH THEMSELVES. A teacher at a school’s job is to teach students so they can move on to the next grade. Their job includes much more than talking AT the students all day every day. They are interactive with them. There is participation, etc. At the end the students KNOW what they’ve learned and can pass tests. They move onto the next grade level. Jesus TAUGHT His disciples, and they went on to BUILD the church! Why in the world would we sit by and think for ONE second that “good teaching” is measured by how many hits a guy gets on his podcast for how well he can craft a 5 point, 45 minute sermon!? Seriously. That’s all i’m saying. Teaching is something that most pastors have NO clue how to do. We should call is public speaking, or something else, but not teaching. The hard truth is that is we’re gonna call them “teachers” then MOST of their students are failing with an “F”, and they should be fired. If I TEACH my daughter to play guitar, she will be able to PLAY guitar throughout, and after i’m done teaching her, right? That’s “good teaching” in my book. Love you buddy.

i’m going to make sure that I am not coming from a theological bent or anything. But I do see in Titus 1:9 and Titus 2:1 that Paul tells Titus to teach sound doctrine. I think this What say ye? What qualifies as good teaching in your book?

Wow, I didn’t know you were related to the Yang’s? It was good to meet Daniel in person a few weeks back. He’s gonna have a blast at Northwood. My time there was wonderful. We’re still here in the Dallas Ft. Worth area until my wife is done recovering from having the baby, and then it’s back to Vegas where we live. I’d love to meet you sometime. We may be outside of Pittsburgh sometime in Oct…not sure if that’s ANYWHERE near you, but i thought i’d throw it out there. =) Take care.

By the way, this is John from Aliquippa, PA. We heard that you ran in to some of our family. Daniel and Linda Yang, my wife’s uncle and aunt, are moving down to Dallas to work with Bob at Northwood. They said they bumped in to you while they were down visiting recently. Maybe once they go down there we’ll be able to visit and see everything going on down there. Take care and enjoy parenthood.

I will shoot you a message.
