Evangelism Versus the Gospel???


Perhaps I am missing something here, but it seems that Mark Dever sees a difference between gospel presentations and evangelism. on page 131 he says "The Lord's Day gathering of a church is primarily... [for] the glorification of God through the edification of His church. Certainly evangelism can be a part of that..but it is never the main point." He spends the rest of the chapter beautifully illustrating the gospel's centrality in all of our preaching. Is there a difference between evangelism and gospel presentation? Is the difference some sort of salesmanship? If so, let's discuss how we can keep ourselves from cheapening the gospel to this level of unimportance.
