Mark Dever loves me! He’s written a book and done a lot of speaking about “9 Marks of a Healthy Church”. Today when I got to school I was given a booklet form of the book (which you can download as a PDF if you’re interested) and a CD with an interview with Mark. It was for MDiv students.

It is nice to see that 9Marks is concerned for the church. By giving these resources to current MDiv students (and I assume that TEDS was not the only school that received them) they are seeking to ensure their message gets out, not simply that money comes in. Desiring God does the same thing with their “whatever you can afford” policy. The message is what they want to get out, let God provide the means to get that done. It isn’t reckless finances, it is faith.

Admittedly, it will be a while before I can read the material. I’m way backed up from school as it is, so on to the ‘gonna read some day’ pile it goes. I just thought the intention was nice.
