Just praising the Lord face-to-face.
BTW, both of being from Maryland, I just attended a "9 Marks of a Health Church" conference at Sandy Cove. The members of Capitol Hill Baptist Church (Mark Dever and others) who spoke at this gathering, were nothing short of phenomenal. This was an extremely practical conference. Lots of solid, down-to-earth teaching regarding the health of a church. For example:
- diagnosing the success of a church (faithfulness to the Word)
- guarding the front door (making membership difficult - people must believe before belonging)
- keeping the back door wide open (make leaving membership easy - public and unrepenant sinners have to be excommunicated)
Very good, biblically solid, stuff.
