Richard Baxter, English Puritan leader, relates evangelization and good works. Don’t delay relief of the drowning or famishing. First relieve, and then afterwards, instruct.

How does this play out today? Some may find evangelization gauche. But conservatives meanwhile resent aid given to a needy person if there were no return on investment, with a conversion. But does the resentment become the instruction as well?
