Accessible Guide from 9Marks Equips Believers to Steward Their God-Given Authority In every position of power—from executives and world leaders to church elders and parents—lies the potential for life-giving leadership or destructive corruption. Driven by sinful pride or opportunism, many people abuse their God-given authority, harming the ones they’re called to lead and contributing to a skeptical attitude toward leadership. The answer to bad authority, however, is not no authority, but good authority—the kind that, according to Scripture, causes those under it to flourish. In this compelling guide from 9Marks, Jonathan Leeman shows that authority, done biblically, is not only good but essential to human flourishing. Through Scripture and many first-hand stories, he presents 5 attributes of positive authority and warns against sinfulness that corrupts leadership. Dozens of study questions throughout the book guide readers as they think through each chapter individually or with a group. Pointing to Jesus as the ultimate model of good authority, Leeman equips readers to pursue godly influence in their personal and professional lives.

今天我们真的应该执行教会纪律吗？这样做是没有爱心的表现吗？约拿单-李曼 负责编辑九标志系列丛书及九标志期刊。他还写了若干部关于教会的书籍。蒙召服事后，他先后获得了美南浸信会神学院的神学硕士以及威尔士大学的教会学博士学位。他同他的妻子及四个女儿生活在马里兰州的谢弗利（Cheverly），在谢弗利浸信会担任长老一职。教会纪律曾经是教会生活中正常组成部分，但二十世纪以来，它却从教会生活中逐渐消失。然而，教会纪律乃是耶稣所吩咐的，因此保罗将其付诸实践，教会也从中受益。为什么要执行教会纪律呢？它表明教会深爱着那个深陷罪中的人，爱整个教会，爱非基督徒邻舍，也爱基督的荣耀。"教会论基础"系列丛书是由一些值得信赖的教会论专家撰写而成，共有六本，涉及教会纪律、教会带领、主餐、洗礼、会众权柄、大使命等主题，是牧者带领信徒学习教会论的可靠资源。Should we actually practice church discipline today？ Is it unloving？Once an ordinary part of church life， churches gradually stopped practicing church discipline in the 20th century. But Jesus commands it. Paul practiced it. And churches benefit from it. Why practice church discipline？ It shows love for the individual caught in sin， love for the whole church， love for non-Christian neighbors， and love for the glory of Christ. In the Church Basics Series， trusted church experts write practical， trustworthy resources on issues like Church Discipline， the Lord's Supper， and Baptism that every pastor can hand every church member.

Congregational authority is less about the meetings and more about the mission. Congregationalism has a bad rap for well-known reasons: inefficient meetings, upstart members, browbeaten ministers. But biblical congregationalism isn't so much about the meetings. It's about empowering the whole church to promote and protect the gospel. Pastors lead and equip. Members get to work strengthening one another and pursuing Christ's mission in the world.会众的权柄不只是参加成员大会，而是关乎神所赐的工作。会众制名声不好的原因众所周知：会议效率低下、成员骄傲自大、牧者胆小怯弱。但是合乎圣经的会众制不只是召集成员大会，而是整个教会能够履行传扬和保护福音的职责。牧师负责带领和装备。成员着手工作，既为了彼此坚固，也为了追求基督在世上的使命。

《重新认识教会》简介：一场新冠疫情给人类的生活带来了深远的影响，也给基督的教会带来了新的处境与挑战，到底教会的真相与未来是什么？现在，是时候重新讨论和思考这些话题了：教会是什么？基督徒一定要加入地方教会吗？为什么基督徒每周要去教会聚会呢？网络聚会会成为教会未来发展的趋势吗？......在《重新认识教会》一书中，柯林-汉森和约拿单-李曼两位作者邀请你我在后疫情时代一同回归圣经，思考为什么教会对信徒和神的宣教使命来说都是至关重要的。他们通过查考圣经并参照个人的经历，向读者展示了神在集体聚会中的真实意图：在属灵上坚固每一个教会成员和基督的身体。在一个消费者心态和网络直播聚会盛行的时代，我们必须重新认识到，为何教会的未来取决于信徒作为神家里的人定期聚会。

教会纪律对于建造健康教会来说至关重要。那么我们到底应当如何施行教会纪律呢？约拿单-李曼帮助我们去面对无穷无尽的各种处境和罪，圣经中并没有具体的案例与之相对照。尽管这些罪并不会明确出现在任何清单中，但仍需在一种符合圣经的框架中凭爱心合宜地加以纠正。这是一本切合当代实际、语言简洁明了的实践指南，它不但为在地方教会中理解和施行教会纪律提供了一个神学框架，还给出一些真实生活中的案例及其相关的回应。

你为什么要加入教会成为成员？成为一间教会的成员是基督徒生活中一个重要但经常被忽视的部分。然而如今的趋势是：人们回避有组织的宗教活动，并对委身(尤其是对一个机构的委身)表现出厌恶或恐惧。约拿单-李曼在本书中直接解释了什么是教会成员制以及它之所以重要的原因，以此来解决上述这些问题。在教导地方教会应有的地位后，李曼为加入地方教会提出了一整套令人信服的论据。约拿单-李曼毕业于美南浸信会神学院（道学硕士），现在是华盛顿郊区切弗利浸信会的长老，同时也是九标志事工的总编辑。李曼是威尔士大学的神学博士，著有多本著作，例如《教会成员制》、《教会纪律》等。

How Can We Know What the Church Is Supposed to Do? Jesus commissioned the local church to carry out a mission. Yet local churches often disagree over exactly what Jesus commanded them to do, leading them to align their mission with current political or economic trends. So what does the Bible have to say? In this short book, Jonathan Leeman argues from Scripture that the mission of the church is first and foremost to make disciples-the task that each local assembly is called to do collectively-and to be disciples-the task for each individual Christian. He equips readers to obey this disciple-making mission both inside and outside the local church as they seek to follow Christ's call and make God's glory known in all the world.

Congregational authority is less about the meetings and more about the mission. Congregationalism has a bad rap for well-known reasons: inefficient meetings, upstart members, browbeaten ministers. But biblical congregationalism isn't so much about the meetings. It's about empowering the whole church to promote and protect the gospel. Pastors lead and equip. Members get to work strengthening one another and pursuing Christ's mission in the world.

Once an ordinary part of church life, churches gradually stopped practicing church discipline in the 20th century. But Jesus commands it. Paul practiced it. And churches benefit from it. Why practice church discipline? It shows love for the individual caught in sin, love for the whole church, love for non-Christian neighbors, and love for the glory of Christ.

Does the phrase church discipline sound like an oxymoron? Many people believe that the church's message is centered around grace, and discipline seems contrary to this message. In this booklet, Jonathan Leeman presents biblical answers to questions about the nature and application of church discipline, illustrating how Scripture presents it as loving and necessary for yielding life, health, holiness, and growth in the local church body.

This booklet offers six practical recommendations for Christians who are divided on political issues. Authors Jonathan Leeman and Andy Naselli propose that Christians should learn how to disagree on many such issues with a spirit of gracious understanding by recognizing the importance of what binds us together as a local church body.
