We create a false dichotomy between gospel and kingdom. These distinctions fail to reflect the central message of the New Testament: the kingdom is the good news. So as Christians we are not called to do either gospel work or kingdom work. We are all called to "gospel-of-the-kingdom" work wherever we are. Churches must strengthen people for this, equipping them to serve God in the whole of life. They must help people to be passionate about the gospel of the kingdom and its vast implications.
