I’m beginning r
eading a new book. It’s called “Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream.” I should have known it was going to be good — the symbol on the front is an upside down house.
Well, the jury is still out on it, but his premise from the very first pages of the book is that our concept of serving Christ is nothing like what Christ actually taught.
I often wonder what is God’s concept of who we are and what we are doing. Is our emphasis what Christ’s would have been? He taught 12 men consistently. As soon as his “church” grew, he talked of sacrifice and went back to the original 12.
I am asking God to use this book to teach me. I am trusting that it will change my heart, not just my head.
And that’s about it, in a nutshell.
