Using Others' Material

Here's a very good article about plagiarizing sermons and reusing materials from others. There are some good suggestions about how to give credit.

I'm opposed to flat-out copying someone else's work and portraying it as yours -- that's simply a lie.

I'm in favor of humbly re-using what others have done, and giving credit where it is due. I don't think it detracts from you at all. Our job as teachers is to bring people to God's Word and help them hear and understand and apply.

If this is about you, then there is a bigger problem than plagiarism!
