Radical

No i haven't been watching ninja turtles (isn't that what they said?). I highly recommend a book called "Radical" by David Platt. Just thought i'd comment on it. Haven't gotten through the whole thing yet so hopefully there's nothing in there that is completely way off later on--haha! It just makes me think of how followers of Christ should really be. We don't just take on the name of being a Christian and add it to our name like we add some kind of meaningless talent to our resume. There should be a huge radical shift in our thinking and actions. Jesus hasn't called us to live the same way. He didn't say, "just be a little nicer and make the world a little better." He called us to die to ourselves and take up our cross and follow Him. That's pretty deep. But what is more imporatant than living for Him and doing His work? What ways can you start to step out there a little further into being radically devoted to Jesus at whatever the cost?
