Your neighbors may have a desire to know something about Christ, they may have an interest in a godly lifestyle, but they certainly don't want to become fanatics. They see this "all-in" mindset as crazy. But that's the call of the gospel.
A lot of people want to have God around when they're in a crisis, but they aren't willing to give him control of every part of their life. I call that "the barrier of propriety." And it's an attempt to keep God at arm's length.
Radical Christianity is normal Christianity. Are you willing to be seen as extreme for the sake of Christ?
You can know something about a person, their biography, greatest achievements, famous sayings...but still be a stranger to them. Real relationships require something more. Presence. Pursuit. A genuine willingness to close the distance.
If you want to pursue a deeper relationship with God, be sure to request the book The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer.
