This is an excerpt from a book written by David Platt called “Radical”

“How many people have not believed because they have not heard? What will it take for those people to hear? Have they not heard because there is no one to tell them? What can we do, in obedience to God, to change a world in which there are millions and millions of people who cannot call on the name of the Lord? Most of us would say we know the answer to that question. Many of us would say we are even doing things to change the situation. But the truth is, there will continue to be millions and millions of people who do not hear as long as we continue to use spare time and spare money to reach them. Those are two radically different questions. “What can we spare?” and “What will it take?”

What is your purpose for living?

My purpose is to serve a greater purpose.

My mind can only think so far, but the mind of the creator reaches beyond the end of the universe.

I live to serve no man, but the creator of men.

We live in a time when kids are not put before the needs of ourselves.  We live in a time where adult’s selfishness rule the world, and for themselves and for no one else. Politicians and Big shots make decisions based on how filled THEIR stomach is, and not their children, nor their future generations.

There are children half-way across the world who are starving to death.  If they’re not starving to death, they are fighting in wars that they have no partake in.  Others are even sleeping with adults, in the name of their family’s welfare.

Children are the victims of the choices we make today.

If your parents didn’t make you a victim of their choices, but rather the heir of their choices, why is it that you only look out for yourself?  Even if your parents gave you nothing in this world, you should learn from the hardship you partook in growing up and vow to yourself that future generations do not have to suffer the same hardship that you experienced.

I challenge you.

You just can’t be around them.  It causes harm to everything around you.  Even the ones you love the most.

SPOILER!!!!

You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You’re chicken, you’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, “Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.” You call yourself a free spirit, a “wild thing,” and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
