What he does is take what we refer to as faith (usually a set of doctrinal beliefs) and encourage us to make it visible. All to often our faith is no more than a casual reference to God's sovereignty and power. In Sun Stand Still we are exhorted to pray and act as though God is powerful and sovereign. This leads to radical results like we see in scripture and in the examples he gives in the book.<br /><br />Radical faith in practice should be something that brings glory to God as the world witnesses his work rather than something we have to explain in theological terms to help them understand it. When God acts according to our radical faith the world takes notice and says "truly there is a God and He is at work in our midst". This is not normal. Perhaps it should be because after all, according to scripture, it is more of the same. Sadly our words and works are normal on a human level but not normal on a level that undeniably reveals God at work in our lives.Misplaced Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678088467204383307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514316733918143759.post-87548887840079732382010-12-27T21:13:48.832-05:002010-12-27T21:13:48.832-05:00Bobby,

Lately, I've found several books that are marketed as promoting a 'radical' faith, actually only encourage 's little more of the same' faith. Is that what you found in this book?<br /><br />-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.com
