Looking to Think Radically

Northwest Christian School staff and faculty are reading through David Platt's book Radical - Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream this summer.  Our effort in reading this book is to understand, think and act differently as we lead in our calling to raise up difference makers for Christ and His kingdom.

In James 1:22-25 we are told not to be merely people who listen to God's word; but to also be a people that does what it says. We must give each other this charge!

David Platt asks the all important question to his readers, "Do you believe this Book?"  The book he is referring to is the word of God, the Bible.  Seems to be a rather easy question  for those looking to become fully developed followers of Jesus Christ.  I am sure a resounding YES came charging into your heart and mind.  Here is the challenge for all of us on that path..."Do we really?"

A great resource that is helping the administrative staff unpack this book is the media area at The Church at Brook Hills.  Here you are able to join us in watching David teach through his book the principles of thinking radically.   The Church at Book Hills * Media  The first video "What the Gospel Demands" we hear three more questions that will instantly challenge your heart.

#1 - Do we believe what this Book says about the church?
#2 - Do we believe what this Book says about the lost?
#3 - Do we believe what this Book says about the poor?


The administrative team took a few moments to give testimony to many different times and individuals in NCS history that demonstrated radical actions for Christ and His Kingdom.  Amidst this reflection, an excitement grew for what the 2011-12 school year will bring as we join together in reacting radically to God's word.
