Another "danger" is being "comfortable" with certain passages of Scripture and not really searching for the deeper things in those passages.
I am thankful for family and friends that encouraged me to look beyond the surface and work out my faith in an honest, truth-seeking, challenging way. I'm thankful also that the Scripture has grabbed ahold of Todd and all three boys as well, and it is too their lifeline.
I ran across this sermon series from a friend of a friend's blog, and to say that it is challenging is an understatement. I want to encourage you to take the time to listen/watch these eight teachings. They are also on Itunes (search for David Platt Radical).
WARNING: Some of your current thought processes will probably be challenged. I encourage you to be open to what God has to say to you through these teachings. Of course, test them, search them and seek after what God would have you do in your own life.
Todd and I have been stretched and challenged and inspired to live out our faith in a radical way. We're still asking God to reveal exactly what that means for us, but without a doubt, it will be . . . RADICAL. Praise God!
