David Platt's Promotional Video For "Follow Me" Analyzed By Rev. Fisk Of Worldview Everlasting
In order to promote his book, he has a promotional video. What is so striking about the promotional video is that he rightly identifies the moral therapeutic deism and Finneyism that pervades much of American Evangelicalism. In other words, he addresses the problem correctly. However, as you will see in Pastor Fisk's video below, Pastor Platt doesn't answer the problem with the right solution. Rather, he inadvertently creates a new law based theological system. This is a metaphoric example of trading Egyptian slavery for Babylonian captivity, rather than gifting the Promised Land (i.e., the Gospel).

"We are saved from our sin ultimately because Jesus decided to do something two thousand years ago.........But the only way we can seek Christ in our sinfulness is because Christ first sought us."
"When Christ dwells in us He transforms our thoughts, desires, will and the way we relate to the people around us."
