Radical Christianity

This Sunday I will be preaching on the Final Judgment from Revelation 20:11-15.

Do you really believe that there will be a final judgment?

Do you believe that the Lord will sit on a great white throne and that everyone who never believed will stand before Him in judgment?

Do you really believe that those unbelieving people will then be sentenced to eternal judgment in the Lake of Fire?

If you believe this, how did it affect your life today?

I read recently of two young Moravians who sold themselves into slavery in 1732 because that was the only way to evangelize 2,000 to 3,000 slaves on an island then a part of the West Indies.

Those two believed in a final judgment. They also believed in a great Savior who had given His life and could save men in every place and situation. These men acted like they believed these things.

We think we're being radical Christians when we invite someone to a church picnic.

How does a belief in these great, awesome, amazing eternal truths affect our lives?

Would anybody accuse you of being a radical Christian?

I've, often, pictured and thought of seeing those who are without Christ in a burning building. So many are calling out for help in the darkness, gasping & coughing, while others are sound "asleep", not realizing the life threatening danger they are in. How should I respond? What should I do? What would I say? Would I...could I act indifferent? May it NEVER BE! Heaven and hell are REAL and we have the ONLY message that can give them hope! It's not really even about being radical...it's simply about being obedient and compassionate to do what we OUGHT to do, what we get to do...what we GOT to do! :)
