Benevolance or Evangelism

In this week's e-news article from standard, Mike Schrage writes an article on whether the church should be focused on the economy or on evangelism.  

It is a question that needs asked and ultimately the answer will give us an idea on our perspective on life.  Do we trust God with everything?  Do we believe Him when He says that He will care for ALL of our NEEDS?

In Matthew 6 Jesus encourages us to not worry about anything, whether we are going to eat or drink, or what we are going to wear.  That sort of thing is not to be our concern.  God's directive: don't worry about anything.

In Matthew 28 Jesus then tells us we need to be taking his message out to others, to disciple, baptize and teach.  God's directive:  Go with the Message!

When you put these two directives together, it sure makes a lot of sense, don't worry about anything, go with the Message!
