We mustn't be content to just sit around pointing out the errors in others we actually need to be sharing the gospel and praying for people to be converted.

By the grace of God I am what I am
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.

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
Image
A gospel that in no way offends the sinner has not been understood.
Mark Dever
Image
We do not fail in our evangelism if we faithfully tell the gospel to someone who is not subsequently converted we fail only if we do not faithfully tell the gospel at all.
Mark Dever
Image
Evangelism is not simply looking at someone and saying, Look, you have to become a Christian. Instead, an evangelist tells us the truth about who God is, and explains where we stand as a result of that. People can ignore us - indeed, they have every legal right to do so.

Discipling involves instruction and imitation.

God can use even stray, honest comments to bring people to himself.
Mark Dever
Image
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.

Forgetfulness of God's grace is one of the greatest tools in the enemy's war against our souls.
Mark Dever
Image
The more you come to know the Bible - both in reading it extensively and also meditating on it deeply - the more integrated your understanding of all of life will be. And this means that there will be fewer steps between what you are doing at work and sharing your faith in Christ.
Mark Dever
Image
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
Image
Membership is the church's corporate endorsement of a person's salvation.
Mark Dever
Image
I think it's unhelpful to suggest that the task of evangelism is essentially the responsibility of ministers.
Mark Dever
Image
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
Image
Our examples of enduring hardship are often more powerful than our stories of success and triumph.
Mark Dever
Image
Correct division should be preferred over corrupt unity.
Mark Dever
Image
As long as quick numerical growth remains the primary indicator of church health, the truth will be compromised. Instead, churches must once again begin measuring success not in terms of numbers but in terms of fidelity to the Scriptures.
Mark Dever
Image
Avoiding the doctrine of Hell is one step away from denying it altogether.
Mark Dever
Image
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.
