TULLIAN TCHIVIDJIAN AND TRANSPARENCY

dee — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:24:14 +0000

This post was first published on December 11, 2009, as we wrapped up our series on Tullian Tchividjian and Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. After extensive research, we are convinced that Tullian “played it close to the vest”, withholding from the Pastor Search Committee and leadership his future plans for Coral Ridge, which are becoming more and more evident. In our opinion, this was not only deceptive but dishonest. Please be sure to read our concluding comments, which have been “penned” today. As we wrap up our coverage of Coral Ridge’s new pastor, we have to wonder one thing – just how transparent was Tulllian Tchividjian with the Pastor Search Committee as well as the leadership of the church? Did they know about the colleagues with whom he associates? He is certainly being transparent on his blog in promoting them along with their books! (You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours…) Although Coral Ridge has a strong reformed tradition, is Hyper-Calvinism the direction in which the members now want to go because that’s where the church is heading and in a hurry! Coral Ridge, much like Bellevue Baptist Church, had a theological giant at its helm for such a long period Continue reading →

As we wrap up our coverage of Coral Ridge’s new pastor, we have to wonder one thing – just how transparent was Tulllian Tchividjian with the Pastor Search Committee as well as the leadership of the church? Did they know about the colleagues with whom he associates? He is certainly being transparent on his blog in promoting them along with their books! (You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours…) Although Coral Ridge has a strong reformed tradition, is Hyper-Calvinism the direction in which the members now want to go because that’s where the church is heading and in a hurry! Coral Ridge, much like Bellevue Baptist Church, had a theological giant at its helm for such a long period of time. D. James Kennedy was heavily involved in the Moral Majority, and he often focused on America’s Christian heritage. At one time the church was bursting at the seams with close to 10,000 members in the 1990s. Coral Ridge even included billionaire Rich DeVos (Amway co-founder) among its ranks. Rich’s contributions were probably substantial. As the Moral Majority lost ground and Christians became disillusioned with the concept of using politics to moralize the nation, church membership has waned. Desiring to Continue reading →

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL COALITION?

As we have been following Tullian Tchividjian, we took note of the following blog posts which can be found at this link: http://www.crpc.org/blog/?m=200904 Here are excerpts from these posts: The Gospel Coalition April 21st, 2009 by Tullian Tchividjian “Since yesterday I’ve been in Chicago for The Gospel Coalition conference. It’s freezing up here! Anyway, I’m here with some friends and am thoroughly enjoying all the people I’m meeting. Many people, in fact, that I’ve never met before have come up to me and told me that they have been praying for me and for our one new church. Isn’t the larger Body of Christ a great gift?” The Gospel Coalition Messages April 28th, 2009 by Tullian Tchividjian “As I’ve already mentioned, I was in Chicago last week for the Gospel Coalition conference. For those who are unfamiliar with the Gospel Coalition, a friend of mine summed it up well the other day. He said, “The Gospel Coalition exists to create a network of like-minded believers who are committed to the gospel and are committed to working with other believers to further the gospel.” This means that TGC is more than a conference; it’s a network–a movement. And it is, in my Continue reading →
