- Acts 1-2, the marching orders of the church

- Altar appeal, using specific story from Readers Digest

(not included here are many sub-points, specific quotable sayings, etc)

Now... if you preached that outline as your own, exactly as it is here, is that plagiarism? What about if you printed it and sold it?

Word of Flame usually produces doctrine, and ideas that are commonly held and known. But, if you are going to read the tract word-for-word, it's certainly the right thing to let people know you are using "word of flame." This is ethics, bro.

If I preached the above sermon, and you got inspired and wanted to share the subject of "GO" with your fellowship, and did so in your own way, or did so in the above way and cited bro so-and-so somewhere in it, then there are certainly no problems.

I wouldn't use it. Why you ask because the stories aren't mine. I didn't read the NY Times article so I wouldn't use it. Had I read it before or something then I would use it.
