As a pastor, I have the opportunity every week to share the gospel publicly in a way that most of the members sitting in our church do not. However, that doesn't absolve them of the responsibility for reaching others with the gospel.

More quotes by Mark Dever
Sometimes we have to wait a long time to see conversions.
Mark Dever
Correct division should be preferred over corrupt unity.
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
Suffering can serve us. Suffering tests our trust in God's promises. And we have a great interest in knowing the truth about our trust in Him.
Mark Dever
Discipling involves instruction and imitation.
Mark Dever
Forgetfulness of God's grace is one of the greatest tools in the enemy's war against our souls.
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
What really concerns me is for Christians to understand the fundamentals of evangelism in a way that is helpful in the contemporary scene.
Mark Dever
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.
Mark Dever
God can use even stray, honest comments to bring people to himself.
Mark Dever
The church is the gospel made visible.
Mark Dever
Our examples of enduring hardship are often more powerful than our stories of success and triumph.
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
Today is what the Lord has prepared you for.
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
Avoiding the doctrine of Hell is one step away from denying it altogether.
Mark Dever
If you need wisdom and guidance, then pray to the Lord to guide you.
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
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
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!
