Sorry I'm late, I had a busy two days and a couple of more before me.

Yes! It must go from "in to out" and start with the gospel or we will labor in vain.

While we may have to appear to work from social to gospel from time to time, our motivation must be centered on Christ. For example, if someone is wet, tired and hungry, they cannot listen until we can get them dry, rested and fed. This works with James 2:15-16 as the "quick and dirty" reference.
