Jim Wallis writes, “The goal of biblical conversion is not to save souls apart from history but to bring the Kingdom of God into the world with explosive force. It begins with individuals, but is for the sake of the world… Churches today are tragically split between those who stress conversion but have forgotten its goal, and those who emphasize Christian social action but have forgotten the necessity for conversion… Both need to recover the original meaning of conversion to Jesus Christ and to his kingdom.”  Announcing the Kingdom p. 194

Although, I struggle a bit with the language of "bringing the Kingdom."  This type of language is missing from the NT.  When language related to the KOG is used, it is more related to us "entering it" or "inheriting it."  The language of bringing or building or extending is absent.  Regardless, I love Wallis' bridging of the conversionistic with the activist approaches.  A sadly missing wedding in much of evangelicalism.
