America is going down the drain if people dont change; the same is for the church. It is shameful the reputation that some Christians have with the world. The world hates us, and yes it does say in John that that the world will hate us, but it has gone to the point were they accuse us of being hypocrites, and judgmental. First off we are called to Love, in 1 John, it says that if anyone hates his brother but Loves God, is a liar. Also we have people ignoring the great commission, to go out to ALL the nations, yes there are needs here in the US but we also need to go to all the nations. We are called to make disciples in all nations, then baptize them, and then help them along in their new life. We are also called to give everything we have to God, and let him use us. We are called to pick up our crosses and follow him, everyday, not when we feel like it, but all the time.
Now I dont really know what the I am going to say really, what I want to say and let all Christians know will take years, especially to get it in their heads. God has called us to be so much more than we are now, me included. Our biggest calling or one of them is to reach out to the needy, not just the needy in our own town, but also the world. The other is to make disciples; those are two important parts of following God, yes there are many more like Love. This is just the beginning.
Radical is a book by David Platt, I highly recommend it. It has helped me see things in a new light, things I already knew but didn’t take action upon. That statistics are mind blowing, and why? because Christians that can do something aren’t doing anything. They are busy living out the American dream in their lives but with a Christian spin on it. If we are to start living a biblical life it demands radical change, hence the title of the book.
Now I am going to try to post more posts about this subject of radical change, but dont take my word on it. If you want to get the book radical and read it, and even f you dont want to, well I am telling you to, it is worth it.
