(Note: You may be wondering why I\u2019d chime-in on an event that seems so\u00a0five minutes ago<\/em>. I immediately had a reaction to the event, but I chose to take some time to listen to some friends of mine with different cultural backgrounds. Thank goodness! I learned some things.)
\n\u2014<\/h5>\n

I saw the socially-awkward couple approach our preacher.
\nHe was carrying something large.
\nShe had a beard.
\nI\u2019m not even kidding a little.
\nI heard him say, \u201cWe\u2019d like to do a special music this morning. I\u2019ll play the accordion and she will sing.\u201d For any church leader, those situations are shocking, maddening, and hilarious \u2013 all at the same time.
\nDavid Platt probably wished he\u2019d only needed to decide how to deal with the request I heard, as opposed to having the most polarizing figure in the world show up, unannounced after a round of golf, and ask for prayer. I\u2019ve been in some weird moments \u2013 ones where I have seconds to choose the wisest action. They are excruciating and I have not always gotten them right.
\nPlatt chose to publicly pray for the President. It was a good prayer, not biased or political. It did not reflect the partisan spin Franklin Graham chose, days earlier, in wording his plea for national prayer for the President.
\nSome praised Platt. They believed he publicly followed the Biblical command to pray for our government\u2019s leaders. Others, with a strong distaste for the President, saw someone willing to pray for his enemy.
\nHowever, some criticized Platt for inviting the President to the stage. They felt Platt got played for a photo-opp. If POTUS was sincere, they believed, he would\u2019ve either skipped golf and attended the whole service or simply asked for private prayer. Platt could\u2019ve followed the Biblical commands to pray for our leaders without placing Trump in the spotlight. Because of their background, when they saw a politician on a stage, they saw a ringing endorsement. The prayer was not their issue; the stage was. They wondered if a homeless man, a far-left politician, or a Muslim cleric would\u2019ve received the same treatment.
\nSome of the criticism of Platt was measured, gracious, and productive. Some was vitriolic and slanderous.
\nPlatt wrote an open letter to the church. He explained that it was not a planned, partisan moment. The letter was pastoral, assuring them of the church\u2019s love for all people. It also was instructive, reminding them that God\u2019s Kingdom transcends politics.
\nThat\u2019s when Platt got hit from the other side. He was accused of caving to their political enemies. Falwell Jr\u2019s attack was especially crude and unhelpful.
\nIn my book,\u00a0Dancing in No Man\u2019s Land<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0I use the metaphor of two warring bunkers. \u201cJoin my attacking bunker or be killed!\u201d they shout. They lure people to not just agree with their position, but to attack their opposition. No Man\u2019s Land is a way of living in which we one seeks truth and peace.
\nI\u2019m not suggesting that Platt handled this in the best way. Speaking to a diverse group of church leaders before making the decision may have altered the outcome. Regardless, Platt now has an opportunity to do something incredibly difficult: pursue truth and peace.
\nPlatt can pursue truth (\u201cWhat should we have done?\u201d and \u201cHow can we best pastor our church through this?\u201d) by seeking wisdom from the Lord and from a group of trusted, diverse friends. He can pursue peace by responding to the attacks without vengeance. If he does both, it will feel like No Man\u2019s Land because those on the edges won\u2019t be happy unless he enters their cult by declaring hate against their perceived enemies. \u00a0Jesus knew the feeling.
\n\u201cShould we pay taxes or not?\u201d was one of many questions asked in order to trap Jesus. If you want to know how Jesus would probably respond to, \u201cWhat should you do when Trump crashes your church service and asks for prayer?\u201d you might want to read how Jesus responded to the tax question: simple but not simplistic, a rebuke for anyone with a polarizing agenda, and a gracious path forward.
\nI\u2019m not sure what I would\u2019ve done in Platt\u2019s situation. I hope I would\u2019ve done what we did when the Mayor showed up unannounced. (We thanked him for coming and prayed for our city leaders; we did not ask him to come forward, nor did he ask to.) But maybe, in that pressurized moment, I would\u2019ve responded like we did to the accordion \u201cmusicians.\u201d (My ears still hurt.) Here are a few things I\u2019d hope you\u2019d do, regardless of my response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you don\u2019t know me, learn about me. Platt was accused of things that aren\u2019t true.<\/li>\n
  2. If you do know me, consider my motives. Platt\u2019s motives were assumed by people who have no clue what they are.<\/li>\n
  3. Show some grace towards a pressurized decision that I might regret. Show some grace towards how I tried to extend compassion towards those who didn\u2019t agree with my decision. We all need grace. We might still need correction, but don\u2019t forget about grace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can obey Jesus and have a strong opinion on Platt\u2019s decisions. But you can\u2019t obey Jesus and be rude, unkind, quick to anger, slanderous, harsh, or divisive. The Church won\u2019t be stronger if you alienate David Platt. I don\u2019t know him, but his preaching and writing press the church to follow Jesus, make disciples, consider the whole world, and care about justice issues. Plus, my dear friend LeRon West says Platt is a humble, passionate Christ follower. (And if LeRon says it, I believe it.)
    \nBut here\u2019s the big question: \u201cWhat would it look like for you to submit your opinion about David Platt to the Lordship of Christ?\u201d
    \nIf you missed out on this news story, don\u2019t worry. There will be another one very soon. You\u2019ll have the chance to rush to judgment, be quick to speak, be quick to anger, cause division, place obstacles in front of unbelievers, and show scorn for both truth and peace. But instead, what would it look like for you to submit your opinion about tomorrow\u2019s headlines to the Lordship of Christ? It might look like No Man\u2019s Land. And once you quit ducking the bullets long enough to look around, you\u2019ll see you are in wonderful company.
    \nOh man, I\u2019ve finished this post without answering my original question. I guess we\u2019ll just have to hope Trump, accordion in hand, comes to our church. If he does, I\u2019ll tell you how it goes.<\/p>\n
