Why Serving the Common Good Isn’t Enough

A good reminder about keeping the balance: Why Serving the Common Good Isn’t Enough – The Gospel Coalition Blog:

There is a deep tendency in the past several years among evangelicals to stress building community and engaging the broader world. But where is the concurrent revival of interest in evangelism? Christians who seek to live faithfully for God in the world must always marry their "common good decisions" with the words of the gospel. This doesn't have to be annoying or necessarily happen every day, but all of us—whether we design homes or fix cars—must give a reason for the hope we have (1 Pet. 3:15).
