Rock Church’s Pastor McPherson on TV Too Much?

Pastor Miles McPherson of the Rock Church in
Liberty Station went to lengths to reassure his flock on May 20. Apparently,
the high-profile mega-church leader faced criticism for being too busy being
all over the TV in the aftermath of Junior Seau’s death. Some grumblers
reputedly felt McPherson neglected his church duties.
McPherson, a former Charger, said he was
asked by the Seau family to be the master of ceremonies at the May 11 Qualcomm
Stadium memorial event in honor of Junior Seau. According to McPherson, the
Seaus admired how he directed the July 2010 memorial service for former
Chargers coach Don Coryell at Viejas Arena.
"You may only see me out there,"
said McPherson, “but there is a whole team of people from the Rock that are
helping, too.” He mentioned the "pervasive help" campaign the church
is currently promoting, speaking of how "ministering to the
community" means sometimes "ministering to a grieving family"
like the Seaus. Because of the prominence of Junior Seau, the situation ended
up involving a lot of time and a lot of media exposure.
The pastor then went on to sermonize in his
"Exposed" talk about the dangers of being judgmental and how thinking
and speaking ill of others is a sin in itself and "breaks God's
heart."
