Dever on Dangerous Gospels
April 24, 2008 by James Kubecki
At T4G last week, Mark Dever’s session was on the all-too-common attempt to “improve” the Gospel beyond what it is. Tim Challies summarizes it very well:
His talk was built upon five “calls” that are dangerous to the gospel—five ways churches may be tempted to adapt or shrink or expand the gospel message in order to make it more palatable.
In short, the 5 dangerous “calls” are:
- Make the Gospel public
- Make the Gospel larger
- Make the Gospel relevant
- Make the Gospel personal
- Make the Gospel kinder
