More quotes by Mark Dever
Forgetfulness of God's grace is one of the greatest tools in the enemy's war against our souls.
Mark Dever
Testimonies are great things about what the Lord has done for us, but no-one will be offended when you talk about what God has done for you. You need to be specific about sin, about Christ's death on the cross, about others' need for a saviour, and about their need to repent and trust in Christ.
Mark Dever
Today is what the Lord has prepared you for.
Mark Dever
I think it's unhelpful to suggest that the task of evangelism is essentially the responsibility of ministers.
Mark Dever
Unbelief is like gravity, it's always pulling down on the authority of Scripture.
Mark Dever
According to the New Testament, the church is primarily a body of people who profess and give evidence that they have been saved by God's grace alone, for His glory alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Mark Dever
Correct division should be preferred over corrupt unity.
Mark Dever
If you are not offending people, then you are not an evangelist.
Mark Dever
If joy or urgency are missing from our presentation of the gospel, then our testimony to Christ will be missing that sort of fullness that we find in the New Testament.
Mark Dever
When a person becomes a Christian, he doesn’t just join a local church because it’s a good habit for growing in spiritual maturity. He joins a local church because it’s the expression of what Christ has made him—a member of the body of Christ.
Mark Dever
There are opportunities around. It takes time and motivation to take them.
Mark Dever
Our examples of enduring hardship are often more powerful than our stories of success and triumph.
Mark Dever
There is no gospel without the offence. This is God's wisdom. It never seems sensible to us in our flesh.
Mark Dever
An evangelist no more imposes his views on others than a pilot imposes his views on his passengers when he lands a plane on a runway. I bet the passengers are glad!
Mark Dever
Once we see more of our need and understand more of what Christ has done for us, he will become more precious to us. And this, in turn, will enable our obedience far more than sheer grunt effort.
Mark Dever
I guess I tend to see divine appointments everywhere. I am always on the alert for opportunities. So I prefer to err on the side of witnessing too often than not enough.
Mark Dever
We may be sinking in the North Atlantic in the most famous ship disaster of all time, but God can still use us to reach out and save others through our witness.
Mark Dever
Sadly, there are some fine Christian people who believe that the only way to advance the gospel is to pray for revival and nothing else. You don't know if they have any non-Christian friends or if they have ever shared the gospel with anybody in the last 30 years. It's depressing going to prayer meetings like that. I don't want to pray like that.
Mark Dever
Christians are defined not by our heritage, but by our mission not by our blood, but by His.
Mark Dever
I assume that normally the Lord will be bringing people to himself through the instrumentality of the preached word. However, we have to be very careful that we don't assume that if we are 'X' faithful in evangelism, then we will see 'Y' results right now. It doesn't work like that.
