Radical

I'm not talking about the square root operation or the irrational number. I'm talking about the extreme, not mediocre, not average way to live.


RADICAL.

Pause for a moment and think to yourself what does it mean to you to be radical.


To me it is the courageous and fearless attitude to not conform. Now this could be a two-edged sword. On one hand being radical and not conforming could be a hindrance to unity. But if we are United in the Spirit and the Church and are Radical for Christ then we fearlessly follow Him and are not afraid to stand out against society's suffocation of material, selfishness, and immorality, but courageously and joyfully live who we are which is Radical to society.

It pumps me up to see people of all ages and especially the young thirsting and trying to be Radical for Christ. It's happening. Don't believe me because you don't see it around you? Then you try and be a little radical today. Perhaps you can stand up for someone, something you believe in. Remember that we can be Radical and Not Afraid because Christ sent His Spirit in us. Not I Lord, but You that Live in me. RADICAL!
