Weird by Craig Groeschel
Radical by David Platt
Crazy Love by Francis Chan
Weird. Radical. Crazy.
The various authors chose these words to describe living a biblical life.
They are challenging books to say the least. I must confess, the times I follow through on things I believe God has asked me to do I generally think or say out loud or profess to others involved... I know this is weird but...
What is it that makes the things of God seem weird, radical, and crazy? And I'm not just talking about the secular world. Even in church when people step out in faith living a biblical life they are labled as weird, radical, or crazy. Why?
Are we out of touch with God's Word?
Have we let the wisdom of the world seep into the church?
Do we see the Bible as words to live by or a playground for philosophical thought to entertain our brain?
I think God means for us to live by what He says. To eat His Words and to make them the center of our lives.
What about you?
What do you consider weird, radical, or crazy?
What did the world think about Jesus when He walked its surface?
What do you think about living His way today?
You might want to think about it...
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1Corinthians 1:18
