Radical has different meanings, the most commonly used is associated with political views of extreme change just as the racial left or the radical right. It also means proceeding from the root. Another meaning is: designed to remove the root of a disease or all disease and potentially disease tissue.
Jesus and the believers of the early church were radicals. They called mankind back to a relationship with God and to remove the disease of sin from their lives. They moved in the name of Jesus and the power in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring about change.
When confronted and told to stop in Acts 4:12-22 and Acts 5:28-30 they continued to speak of God's love and salvation. They changed the world with God's love and power.
It is time for us as believers to return to our roots, to become radical. We stand up to those who are yelling at us, "to sit down and shut up or else." It's time for us to say, " We will obey God rather than man." Then go out into the world and change it with God's Love and Power.
Let's get RADICAL!
