What Evangelism Isn't

There is more evangelism methods, books, and seminars than I can shake a stick at. Heck I even have my own method of evangelism. In the end evangelism is only one thing, it is telling sinners who need to repent and be forgiven the true story of Jesus death and resurrection. The gospel is the atonement, it is the cross, it is the resurrection.

I have noticed that my story doesn't supply forgiveness, it is only an example of it. My story doesn't supply atonement, it is only about how I have received it. My story doesn't have any of the things in it necessary for it to be the gospel.

Christianity Today has published part of mark Dever's book The Gospel and Personal Evangelism. It echo's this concern that I have had for some time, check it out.
