The Church of Jesus Christ does, by necessity and really by mandate, interact with our own communities. After all, the Great Commission is for us to go into the world and to share the good news of Jesus Christ and the gospel and to baptize people in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

But there has been a trend, and it seems to come up every century or so. It's not a new trend, it's an old one. And that trend is for churches, local churches, to shift over to being more concerned about society than they are about the souls that live in that society.

We're not called to fix all the issues of social justice in the world. What we are called to do is to proclaim the gospel so that those who are committing the injustices in the world have a change of heart, and now they act like Christ wants them to act and not like their former father, Satan, wants them to act. So while the church is tempted at times to try to take on all the social issues of the day, the fact is that we are called to proclaim Christ and to present everyone mature in Christ. That's it. That's our call.
