“Most Christians are more than content to live out their lives surrounded by the trappings of our world, rather than to risk losing them in becoming a radical Christian. A radical Christian (by my definition) is one who will put God first in all decisions, even when putting God first is costly. In the business world, this means putting God first even when doing so costs money. That is true freedom - spiritual freedom - as opposed to business bondage.” WorldFirstsMeanChristianSpiritualDecisionRiskBecomingCostLosingDefinitionsRadicalOur WorldBondageTrue FreedomBusiness WorldGod FirstSpiritual FreedomPut God FirstRadical Christian Author:Larry Burkett
“'ve always defined a truly alluring story as a journey we're not equipped to take ourselves with a person we're tempted but afraid to emulate. Impostor narratives are exactly that. When they end in disaster, as Clark's did, or as Gatsby's did, we can congratulate ourselves for our own wisdom.

“There are always rebels and radicals, I suppose,' McCleethy allows. 'Those who live on the fringes of society. But what do they contribute to the society itself? They reap its rewards without experiencing its costs. No. I submit that loyal, hardworking citizens who push aside their own selfish desires for the good of the whole are the backbone of the world. What if we all decided to run off and live freely without thought or care for society's rules? Our civilization would crumble. There is a joy in duty and a security in knowing one's place...It is the only way.” IfsWorldWayWholeCareRunningJoyDesireKnowingSecurityDutyCitizensCivilizationCostDecidedRewardsSelfishRadicalWhat IfRebelLoyalSubmitFringeReapBackboneHardworkingSelfish Desire Author:Libba Bray
