Step Four: Give of our time in another context. Pre-Radical: We have taken our children to serve in soup kitchens and nursing homes over the years. It was something to do together and our thought was to give them a glimpse of how blessed they are and to introduce them to the concept of giving…

Getting down and dirty with Jesus
I am a girly girl. I am quite certain that is why God made me the mama of three active boys {proof of God’s sense of humor}. I don’t “do” certain things: dirt, bugs, scary movies..did I mention dirt? My hubby and boys laugh at the amount of luggage I take on a camping trip. …
Where is our sense of urgency?
If people are dying and going to hell without ever even knowing there is a gospel, then we clearly have no time to waste our lives on an American dream. ~Radical, pg 143 “I’ll get to it tomorrow”. How often have you said that to yourself? How often have you thought about when will be…
Much ado about mums
So what is the difference between someone who willfully indulges in sexual pleasures while ignoring the Bible on moral purity and someone who willfully indulges in the selfish pursuit of more and more material possessions while ignoring the Bible on caring for the poor? The difference is that one involves a social taboo in the…
Unbiblical Christianity
It is no coincidence that I am reading chapter four of Radical, by David Platt and come across these videos by Frances Chan in the same week {definitely watch the second one!} It is no coincidence that the sermon on Sunday focused on John 20 and Matthew 28.

Is God enough?

His Word is enough for millions of other believers who huddle in African jungles, South American rain forests, and Middle Eastern cities. But is his Word enough for us? ~Radical, pg 26 This chapter {Chapter 2 for those…
Something’s gotta give
I had been praying that God would use me {in any way He saw fit} and that I would respond to that call without hesitation. I had been praying that my life would be one that contributed to Kingdom work and not wasted pursuing dreams on earth that will not matter in eternity. The words…
Radically Changed
Back in May of this year, our family read a life changing book. A book that shattered our facade of comfort. We had been comfortable in our little corner of the world. We had allowed ourselves to become insulated to the pain and poverty that exists in our backyard and abroad. Once we read the…
Radically Changed
She was pretty. She was fast. She was fun. She was purple (Tungsten grey to be exact). She was an impulsive, reckless choice. She was part of my American dream. I really thought I had arrived, way back in May 2006, when the hubby and I purchased my pretty, fast, fun and purple Mustang with…
