Evangelism vs. Social Action

From The Mustard Seed Conspiracy by Tom Sine:

 ”How specifically can an understanding of God’s intentions for the future lend direction to us in the church as we face the challenges of the next two decades?  For one thing, it can enable us to see ourselves and our mission more wholistically, to abandon the fruitless discussions as to whether evangelism is more important than social action or vice versa.  In the life and ministry of Jesus it was absolutely impossible to draw a line between his life of love, his words of love, and his works of love.  His life and ministry were a seamless garment, and so must be our lives and mission as we work for his kingdom; there simply isn’t a biblical basis for elevating one dimension above another.”
