Discipline is no more the point of the church than medicine is the point of life.

Making the point nicely that the purpose of the church is life and discipline exists solely to promote healthy life.

From a Mark Dever lecture on Jonathan Edwards–audio available here.

The first take on the Gospel Coalition website went live today. I was able to attend much of the conference (in May) and greatly appreciated it. Right now they have video and audio up from some of the plenary sessions (Tim Keller, DA Carson, John Piper). Also the founding documents, which deserve a close read. (You can tell that much thought went in to these).
