SOCIAL GOSPEL vs. Christ’s Commission to the disciples:

Our preacher is moving gradually to a social gospel position. Someone recently gently confronted him about it saying (paraphrase): "As a Christian I am to share the word about redemption in Christ. Redeemed lives will reflect in a relatively changed culture. Jesus didn't come and preach that we should all become social activists." The preacher's position, IIRC, was that redeemed people should want to actively change the world beyond just sharing the gospel.

As our church makes this move, however slowly, we members are forced to evaluate and ultimately support social gospel or we must leave the church.
