Radical - Chapter Four

Here are some quotes that stuck out to me from chapter four of Radical. I'm slowly prodding my way through this book but it's a great read.

"How many of us are so settled in the United States that we have never given serious thought to the possibility that God may call us to live in another country?"

"Jesus himself has not merely called us to go to all nations; he has created us and commanded us to go to all nations. We have taken this command, though, and reduced it to a calling - something that only a few people receive."

"We have unnecessarily (and unbiblically) drawn a line of distinction, assigning the obligations of Christianity to a few while keeping the privileges of Christianity for us all."

"What if anything less than passionate involvement in global missions is actually selling God short by frustrating the very purpose for which he created us?"

"God is committed to providing abundant resources in support of those who are living according to his purpose."
