  | | Elders in the Life of the Church(Updated) Rediscovering the Biblical Model for Church Leadership (9marks Life in the Church) by Phil A. Newton, Matt Schmucker Paperback, 256 Pages, Published 2014 by Kregel Ministry ISBN-13: 978-0-8254-4272-8, ISBN: 0-8254-4272-9 "Paul and Barnabas made a decisive move toward the end of the first missionary journey: they appointed elders in the churches they had established, entrusting them with responsibility to shepherd the young congregations. The need for faithful shepherding has not changed since that time, yet the leadership structure of most churches no longer follows this model. The authors argue that a return to the New Testament pattern of elder plurali ..." |

 | | Marriage & Pastor's Wives | 9Marks Journal by C.J. Mahaney, Matt Schmucker, Connie Dever, Jonathan Leeman, Thomas Schreiner, Will Kynes, Laurie Alexander, Danelle Bancroft, Kimm Harvey, Cathi Johnson Paperback, 40 Pages, Published 2019 by Independently Published ISBN-13: 978-1-69254-518-5, ISBN: 1-69254-518-3 "A rightly ordered and healthy marriage displays or pictures the gospel (Eph. 5:22–33). As the world around us gets more and more confused as to what marriage is, this gospel-displaying property of marriage becomes even more important. This is especially true in the church and among pastors. The world should be able to look into a church and see something remarkably distinct. That said, we must be careful that the Bible constrains our un ..." |
 | | Sex and the Supremacy of Christ by John Piper, Justin Taylor, Ben Patterson, David Powlison, Mark Dever, Michael Lawrence, Carolyn Mcculley, Carolyn Mahaney, Matt Schmucker, Scott Croft, C.J. Mahaney, R.... Mohler Jr. Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2005 by Crossway ISBN-13: 978-1-58134-697-8, ISBN: 1-58134-697-2 "The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still blush, we might blush at the words, “Rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love” (Proverbs 5:18-19).But, of course, sin always tries to trash God’s gifts. So we can’t just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to fight what sin turned it into. The contributo ..." |
 | | Deacons Are Shock Absorbers | 9Marks Journal by Jonathan Leeman, Jamie Dunlop, Benjamin Merkle, Matt Schmucker, Phil Newton, John Ingold, Bobbie Jamieson, Ken Barbic Paperback, 28 Pages, Published 2017 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform ISBN-13: 978-1-5468-8338-8, ISBN: 1-5468-8338-X "Jesus came to deacon (Mark 10:45; Rom. 15:8). So did Paul, Apollos, and Tychicus (1 Cor. 3:5, 6; Eph. 3:7; 6:21; Col. 4:7). And the greatest among us will be deacons (Mark 10:43). It’s not a bad label to wear, apparently. The New Testament only mentions this unassuming office two, maybe three times (Phil. 1:1; 1 Tim. 3:8-13; cf. Rom. 16:1). But pay attention. It also seems to direct the deacon’s attention to the church’s physical good, ..." |
 | | Revitalize | 9Marks Journal Why We Wust Reclaim Dying Churches and How | 9Marks Journal by Jonathan Leeman, Bobby Jamieson, Matt Schmucker, Mike Mckinley, Jeramie Rinne, Greg Gilbert, John Fulmar, J.D. Greear, Brian Croft, Andrew Davis Paperback, 52 Pages, Published 2016 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform ISBN-13: 978-1-5371-6352-9, ISBN: 1-5371-6352-3 "9Marks Journal: Revitalize Church planting is a great thing, and there’s no need to take anything away from it. But there should also be a default setting in a Christian’s heart that always longs to see dying churches revitalized. It’s not like the debate in your head about whether to fork over $2000 to the mechanic to fix your clunker of a car or to just buy a new one. It’s more like a decision about whether to walk away from a dear bu ..." |

 | | The Pastor and His Staff Part 2: | 9Marks Journal by Jonathan Leeman, J.D. Greear, Josh Manley, Bobby Jamieson, Jamie Dunlop, Matt Schmucker, Philip Jensen, Mark Dever, Ryan Townsend, Patrick Taylor, Greg Gilbert, Shawn Wright Paperback, 44 Pages, Published 2017 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform ISBN-13: 978-1-5468-4149-4, ISBN: 1-5468-4149-0 "There’s more here than you might expect. That was true for me. I’ve been hearing the argument for church revitalization for years, and it has always sounded like a conversation about practical matters. There are practical reasons to sometimes plant a new church. And there are practical reasons to sometimes revitalize an old church. But reading through the articles for this edition of the Journal I discovered something larger, something ..." |
 | | Confessions Covenants & Constitutions How To Organize Your Church (9Marks Journal) by Jonathan Leeman, Greg Gilbert, Andrew Nichols, Matt Schmucker, Mark Vroegop, Curtis Hill, Mike Mckinley, Bob Johnson, Aaron Menikoff, Joel Kurtz, Nick Gatzke, David Gibbs, Bobby Jamieson, Garrett Kell, Bradd Wheeler, Guy Waters Paperback, 52 Pages, Published 2016 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform ISBN-13: 978-1-5368-9800-2, ISBN: 1-5368-9800-7 "“Scripture is the only document our church needs!” Have you ever thought that? Okay, fine. But I have a few questions for you. First, who exactly would you say Jesus is, and can I get baptized in your church if I, like, totally disagree with you on his divinity? Also, is it okay for me to call myself a member of your church and—you know—never, ever attend? And—last question—who in your church, generally speaking, decides who the past ..." |

If you’re thinking of leaving your church for another, start with Michael Lawrence’s article on leaving wisely. In fact, look at Matt Schmucker’s even before you think about leaving. Have you looked yet? Okay, what about now? I’ve seen enough pastors come and go to know that Lawrence and Schmucker just might shift your paradigm. Or maybe the process of searching has begun ..." |

That’s not a popular idea among Westerners, but this is the skeleton which keeps the body, otherwise healthy, from slouching to the floor. It’s the bowl which keeps the soup from spilling everywhere. Looking across the evangelical landscape, do you know what I see? A lot of splattered soup. Oh, it’s tasty soup, but it has nothing to contain it an ..." |
