It’s easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily…
But who do you know who lives like that? Do you?
Radical opens with underground churches in Asia, people whose faith can get them killed or their tongues cut out, literally. People whose risk everything for their faith. But here in America, we go to church every Sunday, it's something we do every week. We don't worry about our lives, the welfare of our family as we do so. We don't walk for miles to get to the Church, arriving dirty with rags on. Radical speaks about what our faith is about, not what makes it comfortable. I've only had the pleasure to read the first chapter, and you can as well.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
