The latest 9Marks interview finds Mark Dever sitting down with John MacArthur to discuss the latter’s first message at the most recent Shepherds’ Conference.

Carl Trueman once wrote, “Self-love which is an end in itself is, of course, narcissism.” MacArthur sees the cultural triumph of this self-love chipping away at biblical fellowship. Listen to find out how Dever and MacArthur answer:

  • Why is MacArthur so concerned about the state of fellowship in the church?
  • How does the increasing privatization of life effect fruitful spiritual relationships?
  • How does our online life – our “iLife” – change our use of the means of grace?
  • Is an iPhone really “the most selfish necessity ever invented”?
  • Has the internet stolen and redefined friendship?
  • Why does MacArthur finds Christian biography “tremendously refreshing”?
  • How does Christianity attack privacy?
  • Which books of the Bible ought pastors pay particular attention to when wanting to teach about fellowship?
  • How does pastoral longevity promote healthy fellowship?
  • How has the church propagated “unchallenged selfishness”?

Tolle audite!
