Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Somewhere along the way we had missed what was radical about our faith and replaced it with what is comfortable.” David Platt

If we are serious about following Jesus, we better prepare ourselves for some pretty rad responses to the behavior of others. Turn your cheek when slapped. Love your enemies. If they steal your coat, give them your shirt. Radically serve and go the extra mile. Treat others better than you treat yourself. Personal safety and security are secondary to loving people. Be willing to sacrifice your life if necessary to love someone.  Pretty rad stuff indeed!
