Whatever Happened to the Radicals?

In the movie and Broadway hit Grease, there was the bigger than life portrayal of John Travolta as Danny Zuko the Radical. Big hair, good looks and a great dancer. A radical in every sense of the word. Political, film, social and religious radicals have made history as icons we all remember. Where did it start?

In the 18th century, a man named Charles James Fox asked for a radical reform in the British Parliament. In so doing (and so on after) any sweeping change in direction was called "Radical". The American Revolutionists, the Religious Reformation of Martin Luther, Tienanmen Square in China, Facebook, Apple Computers, Nelson Mandela  George Washington and ..... JESUS!

Radicals left their mark on history and their story has inspired millions to do the same. Some people talk about history, some people read about history but some people MAKE history! The earth is looking for the next wave of Jesus Freaks to rise and shine for their radical hope, faith and message about Jesus!

What Makes a Radical? 

You're a radical when you do what others want to do but are afraid to attempt! Jesus was the greatest radical in all of history. He fought a religious and social battle that has circled the globe. Billions of people have followed Him. Why? Where others only ruled or navigated this sphere, Jesus is the ONLY religious leader who took His message of change from this realm to the realms of the spirit world. There, He conquered Satan, death and all other religions, philosophies and thoughts - not only in this world, but in the world to come! You want to talk about a radical? Jesus dominated both realms and then empowered His followers to do the SAME with the SAME power and authority. Oh friend, Jesus was the greatest Radical of all.

Now it is your turn! What will you do?

I dare you to take a stand, oppose the tide of indifference and passionately stand for Jesus! Anyone can talk about history, but it takes real leaders to make history. It is in our hands to do so! Let's enslave Satan, change the culture and believe that the season of the radical is not over! God is calling you and me to be the radicals in this season! Are you ready to make history? I dare you!

Radicals Arise in Jesus Name!
