so how do we help?
1. Give them the law (which will judge them)
2. Give them the gospel. to show them what really can fill their emptiness.
something has to help fill that void of emptiness, which they try so desperately to fill by their sin, Only by filling this void can the need to sin (self help) be stopped would you not agree??
seems we have two views here.

That is correct, we do have two different views. Many of the people that need help are Christians. They already know the law and have heard the gospel.
My wife is currently talking to two women who were badly abused. One when she was a child and the other during adulthood. Both have multiple problems in their lives, and both claim to be Christians, though I question one of them. By the way, the abuses that both of these women , as well as most women, suffered at the hands of men. If they already have Jesus, then they need something more, for physical, mental, and emotional healing. Most people think because they are born again, that the blessings should come on them automatically, when they don't. Everything is by faith.
