Radical Change

You and I have an average of about seventy or eighty years on this earth. During these years we are bombarded with the temporary. Make money. Get stuff. Be comfortable. Live well. Have fun. In the middle of it all, we get blinded to the eternal. But it’s there. You and I stand on the porch of eternity. Both of us will soon stand before God to give an account for our stewardship of the time, the resources, the gifts, and ultimately the gospel he has entrusted to us. When that day comes, we are convinced we will not wish we had given more of ourselves to living the American Dream. We will not wish we had made more money, acquired more stuff, lived more comfortably, taken more vacations, watched more television, pursued greater retirement, or been more successful in the eyes of this world. Instead we will wish we had given more of ourselves to living for the day when every nation, tribe, people, and language will bow around the throne and sing the praises of the Savior who delights in radical obedience and the God who deserves eternal worship.

Are you ready to live for that dream? Let’s not waver any longer…
David Platt - Radical


WOW. WOW. Everytime I read this, I just get tears in my eyes. Its just so beautiful. So, this is a quote from David Platt who wrote the book Radical. Have I read the book yet? No. Am I dying to read the book? YES. My friend Rebecca bought the book for me at her church and I have yet to pick it up from her but I am literally dying to get my hands on it. Basically its about turning the American Dream upside down. Being a TRUE disciple of Jesus Christ.
I want a radical change in our life, because I know that we don't have time to live our happy American Dream. People are dying and going to hell. I am working for my eternity and boy does it feel good to just work for Jesus and not for Earth.
