Is sticking to your own kind unBiblical?

Alistair Begg is a good teacher. He caught a good bit of grief a few years ago regarding his statement concerning a particular "same-sex wedding" but I think we can disagree with this without crucifying the man and dismissing his entire ministry.

Alistair Begg is a good man. So was Mac. I don't know anyone coming up who can replace them.

No one but Christ is irreplaceable.
The biggest mistake people make is when they lose sight of their leader.
Institutions all over the place fail when they are passed on or lose their founder to retirement or death.
The church has a founder who may be left or misplaced but He will never retire and death has no power over Him.
When we lose sight of our Founder, we may expect to fail.
Anyone else within the organization is replaceable.

In practice they do not because churches today are rarely community based!

"Often not" or "rarely in my community" may be a better way of putting it.

My experience has been very different.
