#DALLAS JENKINS THE SHEPHERD SERIES#

I reached out to MacArthur for comment about his interactions with Moody, but he did not respond. MacArthur also references a comment he made about MacDonald in public, writing, вЂњI made only a one-word comment, saying JamesвЂ™s public statements and actions are вЂself-destructive.вЂ™вЂќ He adds, вЂњMy judgment has proved accurate, and more profoundly so than I believed at the time.вЂќ MacArthur writes to Jenkins that he had mentioned his concerns about MacDonald to Moody Senior VP of Media Greg Thornton, asking Thornton вЂњwhether Moody was concerned about being embarrassed by the multiple scandals unfolding all around James.вЂќ And the website included a long list of Harvest leaders who had left the church and voiced concerns about MacDonald. TED also reported that MacDonaldвЂ™s church- Harvest Bible Chapel-was $65 million in debt. According to The ElephantвЂ™s Debt (TED), a blog critical of MacDonald that launched in the summer of 2012, MacDonald was then taking a salary over $500,000, and living on a $1.9 million estate. Other charges included MacDonaldвЂ™s extravagant lifestyle. Give a gift of $25 or more to The Roys Report this month, and you will receive a copy of вЂњIn Our Lives First: Meditations for CounselorsвЂќ by Dr. Moody Publishers stopped selling MacDonaldвЂ™s books on February 19, 2019, about a week after Harvest Bible Chapel fired MacDonald.)ДЄccording to the emails, the exchange between Jenkins and MacArthur was prompted by MacArthur objecting to speaking at MoodyвЂ™s FounderвЂ™s Week in 2013 if MacDonald was also on the program. (Moody stopped airing the program in January 2019, when MacDonald pulled Walk in the Word from radio and TV. Just two months after the email exchange, Moody published a book by MacDonald called, вЂњ Authentic: Developing the Disciplines of a Sincere Faith.вЂќ The institute also continued airing MacDonaldвЂ™s radio program, Walk in the Word on the Moody Radio Network for another seven years. Moody apparently disregarded the warning. It involves charges against him from people who are or have been part of his ministry.вЂќ

вЂњThe conflicts James needs to resolve involve serious concerns that others besides me have raised about his character and doctrine,вЂќ MacArthur wrote on November 12, 2012.

This is according to email correspondence I recently obtained between MacArthur and Jerry Jenkins, author of the best-selling Left Behind series of books, and then-chairman of MoodyвЂ™s board of trustees. Eight years ago, prominent author and pastor, John MacArthur, strongly warned the Moody Bible Institute about its association with now-disgraced celebrity pastor, James MacDonald.
