Social Work Is Equal to Preaching the Gospel

A man's stomach has nothing to do with his heart's condition of being a rebel against the Holy God. A rich American on Fifth Avenue in New York City or a poor beggar on the streets of Mumbai are both rebels against God Almighty, according to the Bible. The issue I am taking to task is losing our primary focus of preaching the gospel. It is a crime against lost humanity to go in the name of Christ and missions just to do social work yet neglect calling men to repent to give up their idols and rebellion and follow Christ with all their hearts. They will not listen to the gospel unless we offer them something else first.
