Is it wrong that the gospel's being preached if someone else preaches what you came up with? Or you "stood on their shoulders"? Or copied & tweaked their code? Why have sermon outlines available to the public to begin with if you don't already assume people'll usse 'em? And if I were to preach Craig's sermon verbatim, am I trying to build MY church and not God's? This is absolutely what I'm wrestling with.

Something I've always appreciated about Mark Driscoll is his intentional citation of material that isn't his own. I think getting inspiration about multi-site from NorthPoint or online church from LifeChurch is phenomenal and can save you tons of work. But taking Andy or Craig's sermon outline and repreaching it as your own is unethical...Where is the line?
