 Welcome everybody to unfiltered Pastor David. Welcome. Thank you, John question pastor. What do you think about? Pastors that have publicists pastors with publicists Well one there are there are pastors who have publicists there There are people for those who wouldn't know what that question means They're there pastors who have hired somebody as a staff member or perhaps as somebody outside of the church who had tasks with the with the responsibility of Making their ministry and Themselves known to the world and so they're they're the ones who are Advertising they're the ones who are Making book deals. They're the ones who are getting them on radio or TV and they do it for a commission normally and They're doing it because they they want Themselves and their ministry To be known What do I think of that? on a personal level I Guess it would depend on whether or not the humility You had humility of heart and a real hunger To make the name of Jesus known and you're seeking ways to be able to present his message To a world with a wider audience so if you have a heart to see people coming to faith in Christ and there's somebody who knows how to to put your articles in a magazine or to To get a contract for you to be on radio or whatever because you really want Jesus to be known How can I fault somebody who's doing something like that for the glory of God? Problem is is there are very few people that I am aware of who actually are that dead to self There are too many I think and they're quite a number Who are caught up with their own name their own reputation their own ministry? I mean you go to their web page and they don't even have anybody working on staff It's just their face is them all the time and I think that that's that's wrong Jesus had people who went before him. We were speaking earlier about How that he had his apostles going before preparing for him So he'd enter into villages and he went into the Samaritan village and the Samaritans would not welcome him in and so that's when they said James and John said would you have us to call fire down from heaven and consume them? And that's why Jesus said you don't know what spirit you're up He wasn't here to destroy but to save right so they were not his publicist But they were an advanced team that were preparing for him to enter so he could bring the gospel They weren't walking in saying this is the James and John ministry. We want you to hear from us We have so much you see Jesus has already had already filled them with the spirit in a temporary way prior to Pentecost They had cast out demons. They were they were healing the sick They were doing works of miracles and ministry they could have begun to present themselves, but they didn't they were Offended because Jesus was being rejected and so on the one hand if you have a heart to see Jesus Who is the reason for all things if you have the heart? to see him advanced What could be wrong with that but if it's you that people know and you overshadow him then I say that's wrong so what would be the difference between a marketing team and publicists Well in a sense it depends on the motives, you know a marketer though is marketing You know, they're taking your talents and presenting them and getting dividends for it publicists and can be one who is just proclaiming and calling for people to know But in the in the real world of publicists is a marketing And so, you know, I think word of mouth is great when I first got saved went to Calvary Chapel Didn't know how to present the gospel fully it. I'm just saved So I would say you need to come to Calvary Chapel because I knew that Lonnie Frisbee or Pastor Chuck Would be able to present a message for people to hear and so I wasn't marketing myself But I didn't know how to present the one I wanted to but I knew someone who could From that angle. I was like a publicist in a sense. I was out there Talking about Jesus and you guys need to come in here But that I I think is is is okay But if I'm getting a commission to make John Mata famous or some person I like some church famous That's not right That's what I wanted to get we were talking about this earlier and we had mentioned and I thought no, that's not That's not no, there are there are people who do that. There are people who do that Well pastor, thank you so much for sharing on that and and may we always Present the gospel of Jesus Christ and out of ourselves and just a quick couple things for our church audience Wednesday, we have church service at 7 p.m. Pastor David's taking us through the book of romans And then we have our Sunday morning at 8 30 10 45 great opportunity for both services To invite your friends and family to come out and join us Israel meeting July 23rd after second service in the sanctuary Hope to see you guys there at our services pastor.
