OK, well not exactly live, but here are some quotes from Dr. Mark Dever form the last few days in class:
"Joining a church is joining an assurance of salvation co-operative."
"The Lord's table is only for sinners, and it's only for repenting sinners."
"God is terrible outside of Christ."
"If your church becomes more healthy, it will become more attractive."
'Rather than hurting them, we serve non-Christians by making it clear to them that they don't belong [to our local church]."
"As the gospel drains away, religious ceremonies become more important." (referring to liberal churches that still stress baptism, etc.)
"Authority well exercised blesses those underneath it.' (referring to 2 Samuel 23:3-4)
"I often tell young men who enjoy reading John Piper and Wayne Grudem, 'If you're not willing to get up an hour earlier to give a 90 year-old man a ride to church, I'm not sure you're saved.'"
"When it comes to how we admit new church members, hypocrisy can't be prevented, but it can be discouraged."
"Terrible people can do wonderful things because they're made in the image of God. Wonderful people can do terrible things because they are fallen."
