Our church is committed to physically blessing whatever area we are trying to plant churches in. By that I mean not only do we want to see churches planted, we want to see the improvement of local education, health, and politics, and standards of living, and see the decrease of crime and poverty. We engage in projects to those ends. We don't do this as a bait and switch, as if it's just a gimmick to get people to trust Jesus. Part of the Gospel is loving our neighbor whether or not they ever trust Jesus. As a friend of mine says, "We don't serve to convert, we serve because we are converted."
Thankfully, a lot of evangelical churches today are re-embracing the need to love their world soul AND body. However, they don't always seem to agree on the reason behind why we do it. Some have never put much thought to it. There seems to be a theological haze around evangelical community ministry.
Voddie Baucham wrote a great book on the importance and purpose of the family. A Family Driven Faith: Doing What it Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk with God was released this summer 2007. He takes a great approach for Christians to rethink and relive what the family is all about. Taking principles from Deuteronomy 6 Dr. Baucham addresses the crisis of losing Christian kids to secular humanism as it starts with the family. This is not a book on fixing the program or how to start a program for the family. This book is about shifting paradigms from clinical psychology to what the Bible calls Dads and Moms to do in raising their children. The byproduct of this will be God glorifying as well as evangelistically being light and salt in a confused world.
Answer - And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. That is: For the sake of Christ's blood, do not impute to us, wretched sinners; any of our transgressions, nor the evil which still clings to us,1 as we also find this evidence of Thy grace in us that we are fully determined wholeheartedly to forgive our neighbor.2
