    Strong words from David Platt as he exited the International Mission Board presidency last week to pastor Maclean Bible Church full time:

    bpnews.net/51677/platts-imb-farewell--rise-above-sbc-challenges

    "I hate the politics of the SBC. And I don't say that as an outsider. I say that as an insider these last four years. Some of the lowest points in my leadership have been when I found myself participating in them -- jockeying for position, continual self-promotion, backroom deals followed by spin in the front room, strategizing like brothers are your enemy, feeling like others see you as their enemy ... getting to the point where you wonder if you can trust anyone even as you start to wonder how trustworthy you've become," Platt said.

    You just can't make this stuff up; no one would believe it.
