It is forgotten that a part of the Good news is to take a stand; that is part of the Good News in a broken, as well as lost, world. The very preaching of the Good News is taking a stand, but it's forgotten that [...] there isn't a dichotomy between the proclamation of the Word and caring for people's material needs with compassion and love, so also it must be emphasized that there is no dichotomy between preaching the Good News and taking a stand--and in fact, if there is nothing to take a stand upon there is no reason for preaching the Good News.
