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!
