Radical Christianity pt. 1

Two Sundays ago, I passed out a leaflet in our YG programs that listed my 5 points on Radical Christianity. The reason I did this was simple: in present day America, the term Christianity has in some ways become simply a name, a label that people attach to themselves without counting the immense cost of what it truly means to become a Christian. Such Christianity strays far from Biblical Christianity (cf. Matt 16:24; Luke 14-25-35). In light of such luke-warm Christianity, true Christianity does seem to be radical. In the days to follow, we will briefly survey each of the 5 points of my Radical Christianity and test these points in the light of Holy Writ. It would do us tremendous good to see how radical the call to Christ truly is. The 5 points we'll look at are:

1. Radical Choice for Christ
2. Radical Commitment to His Church
3. Radical Mind Transformed by His Word
4. Radical Measures for Present Living
5. Radical Mission towards Future Glory

I pray as we look at each of these points in the following days, that we might all seek to become the saltiest of salt and the brightest of lights (Matthew 5:13-16). Oh that we would be a fragrant aroma (2 Corinthians 2:16)! Stay strong and God bless!
