Mahaney Interviews Dever

9Marks just came out with their latest leadership interview. Normally Mark Dever serves as the host and peppers the guest pastors and authors with questions. But in the newest interview the tables are turned as C.J. Mahaney interviews Mark Dever. I've been listening to it this week and found it both interesting and compelling. Mark Dever is a gift to the church, and this segment provides a glimpse of Mark's life and vision, as well as of the humor and friendship of these two men. C.J. does a great job honoring Mark and consistently pointing out his lack of athletic ability and or interest.
Even if you're not a pastor, you'll benefit from this interview. There's a section where Mark talks about the "god of opportunity" that he very purposefully chose not to follow when he made the decision to commit himself to pastoral ministry at Capitol Hill Baptist Church. It will challenge any young adult who struggles to make a decision because it cuts off other options.
You can download the interview free at the 9 Marks website.

Bad Guy Caught With a Mac: This is a great story. A girl's Apple laptop gets stolen but she uses a remote access program to control it and takes a picture of the thief as the doofus sits in front of the stolen computer. "Smile! You're getting your mug shot taken!" Using the picture, the police nab the bad guy. Moral of the story? Don't mess with a high-tech girl's Mac.

Church?
"I am reading Joshua Harris book Stop Dating the Church...love it. He talks about the people who believe they can be Christians and never go to church. I have heard this argument many times. They don't believe you have to fellowship..." (Read full post here.)
Jargon Meets Advice
"Boy Meets Girl: I read part of this back when I bought it 7-ish years ago. If you get past the jargon-y parts it has some solid advice." (Read full post here.)
A Brief Review
"I think this book [Sex is Not the Problem (Lust Is)] would appeal to both teenagers and parents, although I would give the parents the book first to read. This is not explicit in its language but it does tackle the difficult questions." (Read full post here.)
