A Christianity Today editorial | posted 1/19/2009 10:15AM The greatest social need in the world today is not HIV/AIDS outreach. It's not hunger. It's not global warming. Not ending poverty or eliminating malaria or tuberculosis. Not clean water. Not racial reconciliation. Not sexual trafficking. Not abortion. And it's not peace in the Middle East, and not even world peace. These are not unimportant social issues. They grab the heart of God. God's compassion has always been focused on the poor and oppressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so it must be the Christian's first priority not to 'change the world', but to seek the regeneration of human hearts by preaching the gospel. Obviously it is God's work, but our job is to shine that light, to share the good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
