Points I received from reading Mark Dever's The Gospel and Personal Evangelism book:
To the Church, Beloved,
- Learn to ask good questions in order to provoke self-reflection.
- Question the orgin of life, how one understands the "bad things" in this world, thoughts on death, Jesus, God, judgement, etc.
- Listen AND make suggestions on what you believe is the case.
- Be provocative in your conversation.
- Live in a distinctly salty way--through words and actions. Make others thirsty. Make your whole life before others provocative.
- The message that you are sharing is not merely an opinion--but a fact!
- Islam has a shallow understanding of man's problems because it teaches that our problems are basically a matter of behavior, that the solution to our problem is merely a question of the will.
- We [Christians] don't think that our real problem can be dealt with by political power. I could put a sword to a person's throat and make him a sufficiently good Muslim, but I can't make anyone a Christian that way.
