According to a former McLean Bible Church Elder, David Platt destroyed the church with his leftist political activism. The former elder, Mark Gottleib said David Platt turned McLean into a “political, stripped-down version” of the church, according to an email.
Mark Gottlieb said in a letter to McLean Bible Church members, “Over the last several years, we’ve watched David take the church—the church we built, the church we love, the church we’ve poured our hearts and souls and lives into—and turned it into a political, stripped-down version of what it used to be. Most ministries are gone. The leaders are doing things we disagree with.” And David Platt’s leftist politics is driving the division. According to Gottlieb, “The unifying concern among those who knew the church is that David Platt is the wrong pastor for MBC. We were historically a conservative church, and David is left of center—he’s taken our church down paths we never anticipated.” [SOURCE: Capstone Report; 8.8.2021] |

So when a pastor takes a public stand to say, "I have a deep pastoral concern that Christians and churches are flinching all across our culture" it makes us ooh and aah a bit in wonder and admiration. This was the reaction to Dr. David' Platt's keynote address at the annual National Religious Broadcaster's Convention held in Nashville, Tennessee last week. What should be the norm for Christian leadership is increasingly becoming the exception.
