Radical

I'm reading this book called Radical by David Platt in a Discipleship University study through Valley First Baptist Church. Last week we were asked the question to write down 3 columns: 1) Where we saw ourselves in 5 years (by the way, I'll be 33...), 2) Where others saw us in 5 years and 3) where God wanted us to be in 5 years. The book itself is pretty convicting... in this week's chapter alone, there were several gut-wrenching passages...

Like, you are radically dependent on God to do something in your life that you could never do (p,32).

And... Accept him? Do we really think Jesus needs our acceptance? Don't we need him? (talking about taking the "infinitely glorious Son of God, who endured the infinitely terrible wrath of God and who now reigns as the infinitely worthy Lord of all, and we have reduced him to a poor, puny Savior who is just begging for us to accept him." (37).

Have we ever truly, authentically trusted in Christ for our salvation?

Have you?
