Radical Faith

A friend of mine saw yesterday's post and wrote this,

Read your blog this morning and sheesh - I'm a wuss!! I'm just writing gross peculiar ramblings. You've got an attitude problem and I like it.

Stay on the edge - people are waayyyy to comfortable in their American, white-bread, Suburban faith. By its nature Christianity should be fanatical - particularly fanatical in grace!!!

The word I would use is “radical.” Jesus was very radical for His day.

We need a radical faith; faith that believes God can and will do amazing things today.

We need radical grace; grace that annihilates condemnation.

We need radical love; love that pierces prejudice.

We need radical joy; joy that makes heroine drab, alcohol empty and pornography seem boring.

We need radical change; the kind of change in our lives that makes the world stand on its ear and see Christianity for what it is, God’s expression of Himself to mankind.

Bottom-line - we need God to do a radical work in us and transform us into radical followers of Christ.
