Desiring God
I am not a pastor and I am not at Desiring God’s 2009 Pastors Conference, but that doesn’t mean I can’t follow along. After watching the Stars defeat the Flames last night, I listened to the first two messages by Mark Dever and Matt Chandler.
Having just finished Dever’s The Gospel and Personal Evangelism and now these messages. Wow. All I can say is that I am convicted. Convicted at how little I am doing to share the Gospel with those around me. I pray God’s Spirit will move me to be more bold in sharing the Good News.
Mark Dever on The Need for Evangelism
Look, can you think of any reason why we would want God’s judgment to seem less terrible to sinners? …do you want to make sinners…feel better about their rebellion?
Friends, I find words fail me in trying to describe how bad hell must be….
As preachers of the Gospel, we have no business trying to make God seem just or fare or more humane to unbelievers who are in rebellion against Him.
Jesus did not preach a “don’t worry” Christianity. He preached a be worried—you need a savior! When you are in God’s universe, the most important thing is to know how God feels about you.
The Puritan minister Daniel Burgess said, “My father in all his letters used to write to me, ‘O, child, better never born than not new born.’”
A nice summary of Mark’s 3 Reasons to Share the Gospel
Matt Chandler on A Shepherd and His Unregenerate Sheep
Jesus wants the rose…that’s the point of the Gospel!
I am not against topical preaching, as long as it is done exegetically.
Matt Chandler on 1 Timothy 4:12 over at Fighter Verses
