If you've never read Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, you may want to check it out. Why? Beacause that's the playbook the Elites are using to transform our world. And guess what gang...it's working. Alinsky, though long dead, has made radical disciples in every nation.
Genuine Christianity will do the same.
"Although large crowds followed Jesus wherever He went, Jesus knew that not all who followed Him were genuine disciples," says Sim Kay Tee, author of Can I Really Trust the Bible?
"Jesus taught often of the radical commitment needed if we want to follow Him," cautions Tee."If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me," Jesus said in Luke 9:23.
"Deny yourself? Take up a cross?
Who wants to do that?"
John MacArthur, one of today's foremost Bible teachers, dares to teach the hard facts: "The world is filled with millions of people who think they are headed for heaven--but they are deadly wrong.
"Probably most people think heaven awaits them, but it doesn't. But what is especially sad is that many of those people sit in evangelical churches misinformed," says MacArthur.
Why? Because many churches "adjust the message" fearing the truth will make us uncomfortable.
"It's not my truth," contends MacArthur. "I don't have any saving truth, neither does anyone else but God." Jesus said, "I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God" (JOHN 3:3). "Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven" (JOHN 3:6).
According to MacArthur (and the Bible): "The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.
"Salvation is giving up your life and embracing His. It is taking in Christ by faith, acknowledging the reality of who He is and what He did."
In other words, we need to understand that Jesus Christ was God in human flesh. He led a perfect, sinless life so He could die an agonizing death to pay the price for our sin. He rose again on the third day in a resurrected body to eternal life. All who receive His substitutionary death and turn away from their sin will also rise to eternal life. Simple, but not easy. Free, but not cheap.
The Gospel message is offensive and exclusive. It offends those who believe they're okay the way they are and it excludes all the offended.
So where are all the radical Christians? Walking against the tide of popular thinking. Doing what they can to influence others to do the same & being very careful about who they allow to influence them. Because in these last days, many modern churchs are full of unconverted people who don't know the Scriptures. And if they don't know the Scriptures, they don't know Christ. They've been taught a watered-down, feel-good, anything-goes gospel, that has little resemblance to authentic Christianity.
And let's face it gang-it's impossible to "do" the word if we don't know the word.
Solution? Read the word of God and (radically!) do it.
A wise man once said: "As a Christian, you are called to live like Jesus--a life of courage, joy, passion, and purpose. The same Jesus who walked with such resolve and determination throughout His own earthly life has a distinct and daily purpose for yours. God does not call us to happiness, but to holiness." --John MacArthur
"Our lives are a fragrance presented by Christ to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those being saved and by those perishing. To those who are perishing, we are a fearful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume" (2 CORINTHIANS 2:15-16).👉👉👉"HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN"☝
