| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Conversations that Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. We're going to have a short |
| 0:04.8 | episode but a chalk filled episode. It's going to be packed. We're going to talk about |
| 0:09.8 | 9 Marks Ministries. I'm going to have to talk a little fast because I don't a lot of time, but some things that happened over the weekend. John McCarthy |
| 0:16.2 | released a statement on Friday about Grace Community Church opening up, he's |
| 0:19.6 | asking other Christians to consider doing the same, And Jonathan Lehman from 9marks |
| 0:24.2 | Ministries responded on the 9marks website. And of course this led to then |
| 0:29.0 | Mark Devver and Phil Johnson having a little bit of a back and forth on Twitter and so I'm going to talk about that now why do I want to talk about this? |
| 0:37.6 | Here's the basic reason I was given nine marks material when I went to southeastern for seminary and a lot of |
| 0:45.3 | guys a lot of solid guys used nine marks material and I would say that I would |
| 0:49.7 | recommend it and I finally read nine marks of a healthy church. |
| 0:53.0 | If you now it's I guess five years ago or so six years ago and people had really talked it up to me and when I read it I was kind of like that's it But I think the reason I thought that was because I had grown up in a church |
| 1:05.1 | with pretty good polity, church polity, meaning the way the church was |
| 1:08.7 | structured, the way it functioned. |
| 1:11.0 | And for some people, this is revolutionary for them. They just never heard what the |
| 1:16.2 | Bible says a church should be or how a church should function. And so I know people that have |
| 1:21.0 | been very benefited from Nine Marks Ministries and I thank God for that that's great |
| 1:26.4 | But the thing that that concerns me and the thing that's concerned me for now a number of years |
| 1:30.9 | And it's little things here there. It's like almost not enough to do a whole episode on sometimes, but it's like things that I'm just like, |
| 1:37.6 | oh, that's not the greatest, you know. And now they're starting to accumulate. And I'm not going to remember all of them, |
| 1:42.8 | and I'm not going to give a laundry list, but I think it's time for me to just say, |
| 1:47.3 | we need to be very careful about some of the things 9 Marks puts out on politics and have a discerning eye at least if we read |
| 1:56.2 | stuff from 9 Marks on political issues. Doesn't mean I'm saying their church |
