Welcome to the conversations that matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. We are going to talk today

about a David Platt sermon that was preached last Sunday from the pulpit of McLean Bible Church in McLean and Virginia and this is a listener generated

episode someone sent this to me and said John would you comment on it and if I'm

sent things sometimes I have the time to do it sometimes I don't sometimes I can sometimes I can't I would love to do more

But this was one that it sparked my interest and and I thought you know it will do this so

We're gonna talk about it. It's a it's certainly not David Platt's most radical sermon or anything like that but it illustrates a few

things that I thought would be helpful for us of a better term

revolutionaries I guess you could say they hear things differently

sometimes and I think that David Platt, in this sermon he's kind of vague, but long

story short, David Platt tries to set up this song, Oh Holy Night, which is what he's

preaching on. He's preaching on the song, Oh Holy Night which is what he's preaching on he's preaching on the song

Oh Holy Night he tries to set up the the history of this song being from

someone to two non-Christians in France.

I guess one was Jewish, didn't even believe that Jesus was the Messiah,

I wrote the music, and then someone else sounded like,

I haven't looked into it yet, sounded like someone

who was more of a progressive, I guess, for lack of a better term in France revolutionary

type had written this song and it was banned by the church when the church

found out and I'm assuming that's the Catholic Church, I'm going off of what

David Platt here said, I haven't actually looked into this, but the Catholic

Church it sounds like banned this because they found out this was written by

two non-Christians.
