Mark Dever suggests nine marks that distinguish a healthy, biblical church from its less-healthy sisters.
Any church can be healthier and glorify God better in all that it is and does.
Pastor Mark Dever suggests nine marks that have grown rare in today's churches and that distinguish a healthy, biblical church from its less-healthy sisters - marks like expositional preaching, a biblical understanding of evangelism, and strong church discipline.
