Pastors Who Steal Words From Each Other

"I hesitated about making any reference at all to the next point--preaching other people's sermons. I have but one comment to make about this--it is utterly dishonest unless you acknowledge what you are doing. I have never understood how a man can live with himself, who preaches other men's sermons without acknowledgement. He receives the praise and the thanks of people, but yet knows that it is not due to him. He is a thief and a robber; he is a great sinner".

(Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Preaching and Preachers, 293), shared by Don Green

What's even more disturbing is that this is even more prevalent today than in Lloy-Jone's day!
