Radical Living

To be radical means that you are marked by a considerable departure from the usual or traditional. In other words, you are considered to be extreme. When I read the teachings of Christ, I notice that He was a radical. In Mark chapter 7 verse 13, He says that the "traditional" teachings of man had caused God's Word to have no effect in the lives of people. The purpose of a radical is to restore something to its original purpose. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, "I have not come to do away with the law, but fulfill it." The intent and purpose of Christ was to restore lost humanity to a right relationship with the Father. To do that, He had to break up the traditional views of the religious. Being a radical means that you change the environment around you. Everywhere He went, there was change. I ask you today, are you and I living a radical faith? Are we making a difference like He would have us too? Begin by listening to His voice today and then following His Word. God bless
