RADICAL Christianity is a lifestyle, not a mindset. RADICAL Christianity is concerned with conquering, not cajoling, with sacrifice, not superficiality, with victory, not verbage, with penetration, not pandering. RADICAL Christianity is in first gear, not neutral! RADICAL Christianity is courageous, confrontive, caring, compelling, convincing, and contagious!
RADICAL Christianity moves mountains, crosses seas, pulls down walls, walks through closed doors. It suffers regularly, soars often, sweats daily, saturates everything and spreads everywhere. RADICAL Christianity calls sin damnable, hell hot, hypocrisy evil and judgment sure. It doesn't back down, sit down, blow down, go down slow down, turn down or stay down!
RADICAL Christianity doesn't depend on the strokes of others to keep it going; it doesn't acquiesce in the face of loud opposition, it doesn't fold under pressure, tarnish under time, die under duress, fade under technology, or rot under moisture. RADICAL Christianity ALWAYS lifts up Christ, knocks down barriers, marches over objections, overwhelms pessimism, gobbles up cynicism and tramples under skepticism.
RADICAL Christianity gives lavishly, prays convulsively, claims abundantly, works feverishly and preaches powerfully. RADICAL Christianity dares to challenge the prevailing standard to make it God's; it never plays to the crowds, nor waters down its position, nor adjusts its principles, but rather it is a thermostat that controls its surroundings, never a thermometer to adjust to them.
RADICAL Christianity is never popular, convenient, stylish or wealthy. You'll never need to stand in line to enter its domain. But when the fighting's done, the battle over, and the dust has settled, it will be its adherents of whom the coming Christ will say, “Well done!”
