QUOTE: "It’s about being prophetic in a culture that is losing its way without giving up your faith, but at the same time loving people. … [The evangelical community is] learning again that you can’t just throw tracts in people’s faces and preach at them. Real love is always going to mean doing what the Good Samaritan did. The whole gospel is loving people in their need. The gospel has always been holistic. Evangelism and social action go together. When you move more into a kingdom-of-God theology, you learn that God not only cares about us individually, but He also cares about the systems that He put in place so the children do get education and people don’t go hungry. Then we realize those are tainted with sin, and we can fight for social justice. That isn’t liberal thinking, but it’s basic Christian stuff." —Jimmy Dorrell, executive director of Mission Waco and pastor of Church Under the Bridge in Waco, Texas [baptiststandard.com, 10/2/09]
