Who in the world would say that, especially to a bunch of ministry students and aspiring missionaries, but Larry James? That's what Steve heard, in response to the question about the synthesis of Justice and Evangelism. As I read the Psalms, I think he's got a point. There is a lot in there about declaring the greatness of our God, taking care of the poor and oppressed, and crying out to God for relief and protection, but not any of our typical North American proof-text and tract-based evangelism.
As for the balance of Justice and Evangelism, "The LORD is King; let the Earth rejoice; let the multitude of the isles be glad. Clouds and darkness are round about him, righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne... Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous, and give thanks to his holy Name." Psalm 97
