Excellent Resource for Pastors - 9Marks Ministry

I want to recommend a website to all those pastors out there who are seeking with God's help to build a healthy biblical church. Mark Devers' 9Marks ministry should definitely be in your list of bookmarks!



The following Quote is from the 9Marks Website:
"The mind-boggling flood of recent literature and conferences acclaiming innovative ministry methods has sent many churches reeling with methodological vertigo. Pastors get spun from one model to another in search of a meta-method that ties it all together and enables them to see 'success' in doing God’s work. The Aqua-Church, The Alpha Course, Mosaic, FAITH, The Emerging Church - how do you sort through all the alternatives without becoming hopelessly disoriented? How do you evaluate them? How do you know which one is right for the local church in which you serve? And once you settle on implementing one, what are the criteria for ‘success’? Increased numbers? Indicated decisions? Emotional intensity? A well-funded diversity of programs? How can we navigate the method maze? 9Marks Ministries wants to help local churches re-establish their Biblical bearings and re-think their ministry methods. We exist to help local church pastors and leaders in the discovery and application of the biblical priorities that cultivate health and holiness in the local church. Kick around below to learn more about the people of 9Marks, how they understand the problems confronting the church today, and the solutions they propose."
