“Radical Christians are not people who wear Christian t-shirts. Radical Christians are those who bear fruit of the Holy Spirit...A little boy, Andrew, a Muslim shot him five times through the stomach and left him on a sidewalk simply because he said, 'I am so afraid, but I can not deny Jesus Christ! Please don't kill me! But I will not deny Him!' He died in a pool of blood, and you talk about being a radical Christian because you wear a t-shirt!” PeopleLittlesSaidI CanChristianSpiritJesusLeftChristBoysFiveBloodBearsHolyPleaseShotsJesus ChristDiedFruitDenyRadicalShirtsHoly SpiritStomachPoolCan NotT ShirtKill MeLittle BoysAndrewSidewalkRadical Christian Author:Paul Washer
“Perhaps the most radical thing we followers of Jesus can do in the information age is treat each other like humans-not heroes, not villains, not avatars, not statuses, not Republicans, not Democrats, not Calvinists, not Emergents-just humans. This wouldn't mean we would stop disagreeing, but I think it would mean we would disagree well.” ThinkingHumansWellsMeanAgeJesusCan DoInformationHeroRepublicanTreatsDemocratRadicalFollowersDisagreeVillainInformation Age Author:Rachel Held Evans

“For Jesus, it is clear, poverty is not the problem; it is the solution. Until human beings learn to live in naked contact and direct simplicity and equality with each other, sharing all resources, there can be no solution to the misery of the human condition and no establishment of God's kingdom. Jesus' radical and paradoxical sense of who could and who could not enter the Kingdom is even more clearly illustrated by his famous praise of children.” HumansChildrenProblemJesusHuman BeingsPovertyClearConditionsSolutionsResourcesDirectPraiseMiserySimplicityKingdomsNakedContactRadicalEstablishmentHuman ConditionParadoxical Author:Andrew Harvey
“There is need of a great revival of spiritual life, of truly fervent devotion to our Lord Jesus, of entire consecration to His service.

“Two radical ideas have been introduced into human thought. One of them is that energy and matter are pretty much the same sort of stuff. That's Einstein. The other is that revenge is a bad idea. Revenge is an enormously popular idea but, of course, Jesus came along with the radical idea of forgiveness. If you're insulted, you have to square accounts. So this invention by Jesus is as radical as Einstein's.” IfsHumansHas BeensTwoIdeasMatterCoursesJesusEnergyStuffAccountsRevengeInventionRadicalSquaresBad IdeasInsultedHuman ThoughtRadical Ideas Author:Kurt Vonnegut
“Again and again the Sermon on the Mount calls and challenges us to a life of radical discipleship. Note: when Jesus says 'Blessed are the . . . . merciful, peacmakers', and so on, he doesn't just mean that they themselves are blessed. He means that the blessing of God's kingdom works precisely through those people into the wider world. That is how God's kingdom comes. That's one thing to hear afresh.” PeopleWorldMeanJesusChallengesOne ThingBlessingBlessedNotesKingdomsRadicalAgain And AgainSermonsDiscipleshipMercifulSermon On The MountKingdom Come Author:N. T.
