\"16-radical-discipleship\u201cRadical\u201d is a term we encounter often. Radical<\/em> Islamic terrorists, radical<\/em> student protesters, radical<\/em> activists, radical<\/em> pro-lifers or radical<\/em> abortionists. I wouldn\u2019t dare call certain football team proponents \u2018radical’ would I? So, basically we use the term for someone who is out of their mind. Someone who truly does not care about anyone else. They are agenda driven \u2013 normally at the expense of someone else. But the word ‘radical’ comes from at Latin word “radix\u201d which means \u201croot.\u201d This series – and all we are focused on this year – considers the root, the foundations, the formative elements, the ground, the basis of everything else. What are the unchangeable things about calling ourselves disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ? These are the rudiments that are non-negotiable. They are the things by which we see everything else. They point to the personal and loving agenda of Jesus and that means that we live for others with His mind and His heart. We don’t use others we love and serve them. Let’s be radical!<\/p>\n
