Living in the light of the future

Supporto
How do we respond to the silent appeal in the dark eyes of the child in the charity catalogue, or the blanketed figure in the cold shop doorway? Should we share the gospel with them, or a bowl of soup?



Throughout history, men and women such as Wilberforce, Shaftesbury, Carey and booth have recognised a call to help the needy. Others have argued that our first task is evangelism, that Christians should not meddle in politics, that social action is a distraction. Do we serve Christ through preaching his Word, or should we use words only when necessary?



Tim Chester argues that evangelism and social action are inseparable as two arms of the church’s mission. He presents a biblical case for truly evangelical social action that is shaped and inspired by the gospel. He urges conservatives not to marginalize those who uphold the cause for the oppressed, and those involved in social action not to neglect the preaching of the Word.




‘Consistent, mission-minded evangelicals have always refused to choose between a commitment to gospel proclamation and an active concern for the poor. Tim Chester digs deep into the Bible to show us why both are vital, and what it means to be Christ’s people in a world of need.’ Keith Walker, director of SIM-UK/N. Europe




‘A must-read for those looking for a way to integrate word and deed mission to advance God’s purposed in our needy world.’ Tom Sine, author of Living on Purpose: Finding God’s Best For Your Life
