Your neighbors may have a desire to know something about Christ, they may have an interest in a godly lifestyle, but they certainly don't want to become fanatics. They see this "all-in" mindset as crazy. But that's the call of the gospel.
A lot of people want to have God around when they're in a crisis, but they aren't willing to give him control of every part of their life. I call that "the barrier of propriety." And it's an attempt to keep God at arm's length.
Radical Christianity is normal Christianity. Are you willing to be seen as extreme for the sake of Christ?
Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
