Dr. Platt challenged me in many ways, more than I can include in a brief review here, but the one thing I have been constantly reminded of and had a renewed understanding and appreciation of is the grace of God in my life today. And as I reflect further on the grace God has shown me individually I am more motivated to respond to Him in a lifestyle that shares his love with those around me. I am more convinced than ever that I need to do a better - meaning more intentional - job of sharing Jesus with people I come in contact with every day; and I also need to be prepared to share Christ with those outside my own little circle of influence.Ελλάδαhttp://honest4goodness.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864774664374905238.post-89582857134890399702011-02-14T22:48:02.129-06:002011-02-14T22:48:02.129-06:00I just read Radical last month.

I know a lot of people are reading it at our church and I also see a lot of neat things happening there. It just seems like people are finally starting to notice others before themselves. I just found your blog I look forward to reading more when I can.

I think.....it's both. There are times that God says "Do it big and do it now" and we cannot turn to him and say "ummm I can't, not all at once. Let me do it small first, then I will get there". But I truly believe there are those times that He starts to urge us with His amazing gentleness into the right direction. I can see soooo many baby steps in my walk with Him, that I can see He orchestrated. But inevitably one babystep leads quickly to another and before too long you actually are making HUGE changes. So, in my opinion, I think He does both. I just pray that when we tells me to do something BIG I obey. <br />P.S this whole topic of obedience makes me think of the Paul Washer video from the 2009 Sufficiency of Scripture Conference. If you haven't seen it, it's good.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692936239384102040noreply@blogger.com
