More quotes by Mark Dever
Unbelief is like gravity, it's always pulling down on the authority of Scripture.
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
Membership is the church's corporate endorsement of a person's salvation.
Mark Dever
There is simply so much reason to believe the good news of Jesus Christ in history, in Scripture, as well as in our own experience that it would take a leap of faith not to believe in the gospel.
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
Christians are defined not by our heritage, but by our mission not by our blood, but by His.
Mark Dever
God can use even stray, honest comments to bring people to himself.
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
By the grace of God I am what I am
Mark Dever
Avoiding the doctrine of Hell is one step away from denying it altogether.
Mark Dever
The truly changed, truly converted, truly Christian heart can say with John Newton, “I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I wish to be. I am not what I hope to be. Yet I can truly say, I am not what I once was. By the grace of God, I am what I am.
Mark Dever
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
Correct division should be preferred over corrupt unity.
Mark Dever
Forgetfulness of God's grace is one of the greatest tools in the enemy's war against our souls.
Mark Dever
A gospel that in no way offends the sinner has not been understood.
Mark Dever
I think it's unhelpful to suggest that the task of evangelism is essentially the responsibility of ministers.
Mark Dever
I don't have any way to control the Spirit or create revival. I pray that the Holy Spirit would move upon the church, but at the same time, I want to busy evangelizing. I am not one of those people who moan and pray for revival all the time, but do nothing.
Mark Dever
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.
Mark Dever
The difference between apologetics and evangelism is that in apologetics, you are answering objections that the world raises, whereas in evangelism, you are bringing the message that Christ brought. So unbelievers tend to set the agenda in apologetics, and you set the agenda in evangelism.
Mark Dever
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.
