Juan SanchezGUEST
You know, just a really solid doctrinal brother.
Juan SanchezGUEST
You know, he probably would be like a Spanish Mark Dever kind of guy.
Juan SanchezGUEST
And so you have these people the Lord's been using, and then you have Carlos Contreras in Juarez.
Juan SanchezGUEST
And he was part of the Sovereign Grace movement.
Juan SanchezGUEST
And so that's how the message of the gospel was spreading.
Juan SanchezGUEST
And so...
Juan SanchezGUEST
It's really encouraging to see the Spanish-speaking brothers whom the Lord was using, but then the ministries of folks like John Piper, you know, Mark Dever, and John MacArthur.
Juan SanchezGUEST
You know, John MacArthur's work really was important to this movement of reformation in the Spanish-speaking world because they had already gone ahead.
Brad KlassenGUEST
They disdain the idea.
Brad KlassenGUEST
Mark Dever describes that category with these words.
Brad KlassenGUEST
He says, "...we've been accustomed to thinking about abuse and power in the same sentence." and about authoritarianism whenever we think about authority.
Brad KlassenGUEST
Whatever the reason, there is a pervasive and inherent suspicion of authority in our society.

That's Connie Dever, by the way.
Jeremy HowardHOST
And that is this resource that I'm sure most of you have heard of, Nine Marks, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church.
Jeremy HowardHOST
Here's the original book, one of its printings by Mark Dever.
Jeremy HowardHOST
There's a whole organization that's been formed based on this called Nine Marks.
Jeremy HowardHOST
They have a lot of great resources.
Geoff ChangHOST
Growing up as a Baptist or kind of non-denominational Baptistic, but then eventually moving into the Southern Baptist world, I'd heard Spurgeon's name, you know, from time to time, pastors would quote him.
Geoff ChangHOST
When I got to Capitol Hill Baptist Church during my seminary years, Mark Dever would open our Wednesday night Bible study reading from Spurgeon's autobiography.
Geoff ChangHOST
So he'd read a chapter at a time.
Geoff ChangHOST
And so I loved hearing those stories.
Darin SmithGUEST
But there ought to be a love that we have for each other that is as old as time.
Darin SmithGUEST
And if our truth has made us stale to love one another, how do we love one another? I mean, honestly, have you taken out, I left it at home, forgive me, but have you taken out your membership directory? Y'all have a membership directory? You know what I'm talking about? Have you taken that out and prayed each day for a couple people on that list? You know, Mark Dever, the pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, said there are two things that you need as a Christian.
Darin SmithGUEST
You need to have a Bible and you need to have your church membership directory.
Darin SmithGUEST
And the reason for that is so often we take for granted the people we have around us.
KeithHOST
In our community of faith, do we still gravitate to those who are most like us or do we fully embrace those The community of diverse yet unified individuals that exist within our membership.
KeithHOST
Mark Dever and Jamie Dunlop, in their book entitled Compelling Community, they write this.
KeithHOST
We love God to the extent that we understand his forgiveness.
KeithHOST
And of course, to love God is to love those around us.
Brandon MyersGUEST
And to Chris's point, not skipping past the hard parts, but reading it and explaining it and then seeking to apply it faithfully.
Brandon MyersGUEST
And I do think that, sadly, you have—years ago, Mark Dever said this.
Brandon MyersGUEST
He said, basically, there's a commitment phobia all across America where committing to a local church, no, can't do that.
Brandon MyersGUEST
And many times in a lot of those guys in the nine mark circles, we'll talk about this, how there's like church membership is treated more like a Costco or Walmart club card membership as opposed to like a meaningful commitment where people actually are treating this like a closer to a marriage relationship where you're with the church family, with the people and committed to that people through thick and thin.
Brad KlassenUNKNOWN
That indicates that central to what we do as a church must always be the exposition of God's word.
Brad KlassenUNKNOWN
And this leads Mark Dever to say this in his book, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church.
Brad KlassenUNKNOWN
He begins with Mark number one being the presence, the dominance of expository preaching.
Brad KlassenUNKNOWN
Notice what he says here.
Tom LittletonGUEST
Those who know him.
Brannon HowseHOST
Mark Dever basically tell us on video he was a leftist and then changed his stripes.
Brannon HowseHOST
Al Mueller.
Tom LittletonGUEST
