When Christian evangelists enter the African American Community, should their message emphasize the conversion of the soul--leading to Eternal Life--or the relief of community decay that has resulted from abuse and neglect of Eurocentric Christianity? What do you think?
I believe we should deal with both, but with an emphasis on the gospel. If we make the Gospel priority the message will begin to take effect on their mindsets and begin to react to their situations differently...
I'll write back in a little bit... have to run to a meeting.
If they call themselves Christian evangelists, the Gospel should be primary. The state of the soul is the most important thing. Once hearts are changed, THEN lasting change can be made in life.
