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.
Whether you are a pastor, lay leader, or involved member of a congregation, you can help cultivate these elements in your church, bringing it new life and health for God's glory.
The 9 Marks are:
1. Expositional Preaching
2. Biblical Theology
3. The Gospel
4. A Biblical Understanding of Conversion
5. A Biblical Understanding of Evangelism
6. A Biblical Understanding of Church Membership
7. Biblical Church Discipline
8. Concern for Discipleship and Growth
9. Biblical Church Leadership
