Seeking The Mind Of Christ

New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Christ offers His followers a limitless supply of power and anointing to accomplish the work of the kingdom, yet many don’t access it because they’ve become enamored with the thoughts and strategies of man, looking to the church down the street instead of the one found in scripture. Challenging and provoking, Echoes from Golgotha revisits the Gospel and explores what the church is meant to be. If our lives are going to affect eternity, we must make it our highest goal to journey back to Golgotha—to seek the mind of Christ where it all began, in the place of the skull. If you hunger for an authentic faith that ruins you for dead religion and breaks you free from the status quo, this timely message will ignite your heart with fresh zeal and renew your hope for what’s possible. You’re invited on a biblical quest to revisit the events of Golgotha and recapture the radical way of Jesus with the goal of transforming the world through selfless, sacrificial love.

Learning How To Know His Heart & Mind Is Supposed To Be Simple... Not Complicated. The Word of God states that every born-again child of God is given Mind Of Christ at salvation. Why is it then that for the vast majority in the Body of Christ today, there are so few who understand how to access His heart and mind and thoughts in this hour?

Christ's divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness. —2 Peter 1:3 Pure Christianity needs no embellishment whatsoever. We find complete sufficiency in Christ and His provision for our needs. But too many Christians have bought in to the notion that all the spiritual resources we gain at the moment of salvation are not adequate to meet the real needs in today's complex world. So they look for something more—an emotionally exciting and self-edifying experience not found in God's Word. This failure to understand the sufficiency of Christ has opened the door to all kinds of worldy influences, causing many modern believers to mix biblical truths with seemingly helpful man-made methods such as mysticism and psychology. As a result, they wallow in a watered-down, pseudo-Christanity that has been drained of its vitality, effectiveness, and security. In this book John MacArthur exposes the main ways Christians have displaced their spiritual resources and explains how to avoid making the same error. It will make you newly aware of how completely God provides—and give you a renewed understanding of what it means to be "complete in Christ."

flu·en·cy / noun :the ability to speak a language easily and effectively Even if they want to, many Christians find it hard to talk to others about Jesus. Is it possible this difficulty is because we're trying to speak a language we haven't actually spent time practicing? To become fluent in a new language, you must immerse yourself in it until you actually start to think about life through it. Becoming fluent in the gospel happens the same way—after believing it, we have to intentionally rehearse it (to ourselves and to others) and immerse ourselves in its truths. Only then will we start to see how everything in our lives, from the mundane to the magnificent, is transformed by the hope of the gospel.
