The modern church shows two extremes in evangelism and social action. The first extreme is that the church emphasizes the salvation of souls through evangelism, but excludes social responsibility. Another extreme is that the church focuses on social action without excluding the saving souls through evangelism. Thus, this article studies D. James Kennedy’s social actions and evangelism so that the church can overcome these dilemma to establish both as the two pillars of the church. Kennedy’s Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church served the Great Commission and the Cultural Mandate with two wings. He did evangelism work to fulfill the Great Commission, and pursued social actions to fulfill the cultural mandate. Kennedy understood evangelism and social responsibility as a partner, and always emphasized the priority of evangelism in relation to social action. Kennedy’s evangelism, thus, pursued the spread of the gospel through Evangelism Explosion and media broadcasting in order to fulfill the Great Commission. And he pursued direct and active social actions that sought to reclaim the politically, socially, culturally, and ethically corrupted American society in accordance with the cultural mandate. He founded the Center for Reclaiming America to educate Christians to make their communities holy. He also set up the Center for Christian Statesmanship in order to allow Christian politicians to build a holy society directly in America through evangelizing lawmakers and educating them on a Christian worldview. Kennedy pursued active social actions because simple evangelism was not enough to achieve the goal of reclaiming America from fallen America society. However, social actions in which the church directly participates in state politics could hinder evangelism because there is a risk of losing the church’s holiness and credibility. Therefore, the church must balance evangelism and social responsibility, but never forget that evangelism for the salvation of souls is the primary mission of the church.
