A Simple Consideration for the Advocation of Social Gospel #2: Not Social but Socio-biblio Gospel

Those who don't advocate social gospel should at least consider a portion of it. Even if you are a dispensationalist (which I do consider myself at least part dispensational in theology) you can still use Christ as your ultimate source for Reaching out. Rarely did Christ only reach the spiritual needs of those around. Sure you can make the point that the Biblio gospel was always supreme in Christ's witness, and to be honest you have a valid point. But nonetheless, Christ, our supreme example, did not only present the Biblio gospel. Consider this, use a portion of the socio gospel to reach the physical and in the process lead into the Biblio gospel. Socio and Biblio needs not to fight, they can complement. All I am asking is that you consider the socio-biblio gospel as not only a, but the chosen method of Christ.

Often the only obstacle between Heaven and Hell is the mountain of social injustice, will we build a bridge over that mountain, or will we make the unsaved take the long and rough pass around the mountain?

(Don't read into that analogy too much, I am not advocating that the most simple path is the best, simply that sometimes Christians prefer to make the path to salvation painful and hard, salvation is not about indoctrination...its about Jesus Christ. Once one is saved then you can attempt to indoctrinate them if thats what you wish to do.)
