The more I read about the 9 Marks and their applications the more I like them. Part of me wishes I had seen them 35 years ago. They were there, I just didn’t see them. The unwillingness to delegate authority or share leadership responsibilities has, in some cases, been detrimental to church health.

"Some things are of that nature as to make one's fancy chuckle, while his heart doth ache." John Bunyan
