Radical by David Platt - Part 2

Chapter two of the book causes one to see the vast difference and the tremendous gulf between the USA believers and others from other countries.

When the believers want to cram into a small place - read and study God's Word - not for 15 minutes a day, not for an hour a day, and not even for three hours a day but for 8 to twelve hours a day and excited to plann to do it all over again the next day - I would have to say they ARE hungry for God's Word.

For these people worship is indeed different than the way we expect worship to be here. Picture this for a three hour service:
60 or so believers crammed into a small room shoulder to shoulder, right tight up against one another with their Bibles in their laps, no fancy padded seats, no sound system, no guitars, no band, no heating or air-conditioning, with just the people of God and the Word of God. The author remarked "and strangely, that's enough".

The author then raises the question - "Is His Word enough for us"?

The chapter is dealing with getting to know God - discovering the truth of the Gospel and the beauty of it.

It definitely speaks to the following: WE NEED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE LORD OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

Everything that we place a high priority on is called into question as we see the Lord and the treasure we have in Him.

Get the book and get out of your comfort zone!!!!
