What Part of the Gospel Is Optional?

It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...

In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about
the gospel according to Jesus.

I WANT TO SAVE THE WORLD, I WANT ALL MY FRIENDS TO KNOW GOD..WHAT HE DID FOR ME, HOW HE SHOWED ME HIS HEART

THAT IS MY MISSION

Great post. Most christians today have done just this, catered the word of God and his DEMANDS(not requests) to fit our ideal lives. We will serve Christ, go to church, tell others about him, and not commit sexual sins when its convenient. The fact of the matter is we will all have to stand before God one day and give an account of our lives. He is going to ask us why we didn't do more and saying I had to work or I had too much to do is not an excuse he will accept.

"What Part of the Gospel Is Optional?" ALL OF IT!!

i agree with you

You would sound more intelligent, if you tried to come up with some kind of justification for all these orders to kill people in the bible.

I've seen this same comment on various videos throughout youtube... and shockingly enough, you're always the one to post it. Do you just copy and paste things to videos trying to start an argument or is it due to you're general lack of any new material?

Luke 16:9-15, Luke 14:25-27. Tell me, from the very words of Christ, that we are not to give up everything, even ourselves? Give up everything and follow Him, counting everything we have as nothing. From the very words of Jesus Himself.

well said. this video is not the Gospel

[TruthBeTold827]

dont let religous teachers who idolize our efforts and our works to influence you. Jesus was plan A. your job is to be loved by God and expereince Him. dont be swayed by this fear and condemnation Gospel message. the works will come out of love or else they r dead. remind yourself constantly of Jesus Christ. check out joshua tongol for pure gosepl bro. much love

[TruthBeTold827]

lol this is silly. the Gospel is good news. where is the good news here? we are not plan A Jesus was plan A. first of all the man who came to Jesus was a man who kept all the commandents supposedly thinking he was going to heaven because of what he has done. Jesus frustrated his lawful mindset by saying well ok go sell all your things and you will have eternal life. He proved you cant do it on your own. let God love you then the acts will come naturally dont muster up your own strength to serve
