Dever on evangelism...

Mark Dever recently posted on the together for the gospel blog about evangelism. He said that he is currenlty writing a book on evangelism, which I plan on getting as soon as it comes out. He has a great straightforward and God-trusting approach to preaching the gospel. Here is one excerpt from his post:

"One part of clarity sometimes missed by earnest evangelists, however, is the willingness to offend. Clarity with the claims of Christ certainly will include the translation of the Gospel into words that our hearer understands, but it doesn’t necessarily mean translating it into words that our hearer will like. Too often advocates of relevant evangelism verge over into being advocates of irrelevant non-evangelism. A gospel which in no way offends the sinner has not been understood."

You could read the whole post here. He also has a message from New Attitude on evangelism I would recommend.
