Radical

"What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?"

Mark 8: 36, NIV

Pastor Eric has recently preached a few messages based on the book, "Radical" by David Platt.  Watch the video below:

I've heard older people say, "I've never seen an U-haul behind a hearse", basically stating that we don't take these possessions with us when we leave this Earth.  When they bury you in that "cold, cold ground", or scatter your ashes to the wind, that big house, fancy car, and large bank account will not be going with you.

John and I have been doing a few things recently that are somewhat radical for us.  We are concentrating more on doing church work.  We are helping out friends and family with some financial issues.  We are not rich by society's standards, but compared to Third World countries, we are abundantly blessed. 

God gives each of us time, talents, and assets.  Luke 6: 38 says, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."   Who doesn't want blessings "poured into your lap"?!  We all want it, but are we willing to do what it takes to get it?  I challenge each of you to do something 'radical'.  Don't know what it will look like for you, but whatever it is, God will bless it.  Go ahead---do it today!
