How Committed Are We To The Word of God?

You have heard me speaking about a book I have been reading recently—Radical, by David Platt. That book is a challenge to really live the Christian life. Anyone who reads that book and takes it to heart cannot help being motivated and moved to practice the admonitions of Christ! Below, I have quoted one paragraph:

“Meanwhile, we hold the matchless Word of God in our hands, and it demands a superior position in our lives, our families, our small groups, and our churches. Do we realize the battle that is waging around us? There is a true God over this world who wants all people to bow at the feet of a loving Savior, and there is a false god in this world who wants all people to burn in hell. The battle is intense, and it cannot be fought with the little thoughts in a daily devotional or petty ideas from a preacher on Sunday. It certainly can’t be fought with minds numbed by the constant drivel of entertainment on television, DVDs, video games, and the Internet. If you and I are going to penetrate our culture and the cultures of the world with the gospel, we desperately need minds saturated with God’s Word.”
