Mark Dever on Videos in the Church

Mark Dever of 9Marks Ministries has posted his ideas on use of videos in church services. Please read it, pray about it, consider it closely, and - if the Lord leads - comment there.

I have yet to formulate my response to his suggestions, but I know that his ideas challenge much of what we are doing at Covenant Life right now. Such challenges are great, as they sharpen my thinking on the topic.

If you have any discussion that you want to bring to undistract based on his post, comment away.

The Blog This blog contains my reflections, as a simple church technical director, on how to use media to the glory of Jesus Christ. In some cases, I will question current assumptions about and practices of media use in church, maybe even yours. Please know that my desire is not to criticize or offend but rather to prompt intelligent discussions. In a church media culture that regularly takes its cues from the secular world, I want to dig into God's word to learn how to use media fully, appropriately, creatively, and to the glory of God.
