RT064 - How long will you wrestle with God? Psalm 32:5 - A Radical Thought
Wrestling with God is a foolish exercise practiced by the immature. God is not limited to working with His people to accomplish His will. He is sovereign and that also means King David was a great man of God, but he wasn’t a perfect man. In this psalm David, David confesses that he had been trying to hide his sins from omniscient God. He “finally’ realized that he had been wrestling with God and made a decision to stop. That’s a good idea. Go to https://bit.ly/2XJin0Q for the show notes for this episode.

RT063 - God uses unlikely tools to accomplish His will! Ezra 1:2 - A Radical Thought
God can operate through unbelievers just as easily as He can through believers. God is not limited to working with His people to accomplish His will. He is sovereign and that also means He can exert control over unbelievers. There are some in the church who believe we should only accept help from believers. Just as God worked through Cyrus, God can work through unbelievers around you to accomplish His will for your life. We need to keep our eyes open to where and how God is working, even through the most unlikely channels. Go to https://bit.ly/31hlSwp for the show notes for this episode.

RT062 – Trusting God with your mistakes! 2 Chronicles 25:9 - A Radical Thought
Our mistakes should bother us because they are against God not because it costs us money, time, prestige, or position. Mistakes will cost something. If you drive too fast and get a ticket, it will cost you. All mistakes have some kind of cost – often it is small – sometimes it is not! In this brief message, we are encouraged not to focus on the cost as much as on our relationship with God. Go to https://bit.ly/2EqfxHn for the show notes for this episode.

RT061 – God always answers our prayers! Psalm 18:6 - A Radical Thought
It is a thing of wonder that our cries and prayers actually are heard by God. Prayer is an exercise of faith! We can’t see the Person we are praying to. We don’t get audible feedback regarding our prayers. And sometimes it seems that they are not being heard at all. But God does hear our prayers and He answers them – every one!

RT060 – What do you do in the face of opposition? Acts 26:9 - A Radical Thought
Opposition may change your circumstances, but it doesn’t change what God told you to do. It is naïve to believe that you will be able to do God’s work without opposition. If you attempt to do something great for God, you should expect great opposition. How should you respond when the work of God gets hard?

RT059 – Compromise: one small step toward destruction! Genesis 19:1 - A Radical Thought
It takes great courage to resist the temptation to compromise. The story of Lot is both tragic and instructive. He is a man who is given every opportunity to succeed and appears to do just that, but then everything goes terribly wrong. We all need to learn from the life of Lot so that we don’t end up in the same place. Go to http://bit.ly/36sgS9C for the show notes for this episode. For more, go to https://aradicalthought.com

RT058 – A Christmas tune-up! Luke 2:11 - A Radical Thought
Christ is the reason for the season and love is the reason for Christ! Merry Christmas! This is a special Christmas edition of A Radical Thought.

RT057 – Why do good people suffer? Amos 4:6 - A Radical Thought
Good people sometimes must endure difficulties as God deals with the wicked. It is not always easy to understand why God allows hard things to come into the lives of His people. As we see in this text, it might be because of what God is trying to do in someone else’s life. We just have to endure to consequence of their rebellion.

RT056 – What are you looking at? Psalm 123:1 - A Radical Thought
What do you do when you are frustrated or discouraged by things in your life that you are powerless to change? It is not possible to go through this life and not experience things that are annoying, painful, or troubling. Thankfully, God didn’t leave us without a solution during those times. In fact, with God, the things that cause us the greatest trouble can be of great benefit to us. Go to http://bit.ly/374wYa3 for the show notes for this episode.

RT055 – A light in the darkness! Psalm 119:105 - A Radical Thought
One tiny light in the darkness may help someone to find their way to the love of God. Walking in the dark without a light can be a dangerous thing to do. Much of this word is in spiritual darkness and we need a light to see our way safely through it. Thankfully, God provided us a lamp but we need to do more than just possess it.

RT054 – Approaching God in prayer! Ezekiel 41:22 - A Radical Thought
To truly pray we need to give God our will, our mind, and our heart. Prayer is more than just asking God to give you what you want or take away what you don’t want in your life. Prayer is an incredible privilege and ought to be a humbling experience. Go to http://bit.ly/2NcQeJu for the show notes for this episode. For more, go to https://aradicalthought.com

RT053 – Do you need to be humbled by God? Ezekiel 28:3 - A Radical Thought
God resists the proud and He confounds the wise. Have you ever felt like God was fighting against you? Maybe He is! God is both the source of and giver of wisdom. It bothers Him when one of His creations believes they have taken that place in their life. This devotional is a warning against believing we know better than God about anything.

RT052 – Who can be saved? Hebrews 7:25 - A Radical Thought
The gospel is not complicated. Salvation is so simple that a small child can attain to it by faith. In this devotional we are reminded not to make salvation complicated or hard to attain. No one is beyond the reach of God’s grace, mercy, and love. Let’s keep it simple! Go to http://bit.ly/2pa7Dun for the show notes for this episode. For more, go to https://aradicalthought.com

RT051 – Our wonderfully good God! Lamentations 3:25 - A Radical Thought
God’s goodness is not dependent upon our circumstances. God is good always – even when the things of life seem bad. That is what the prophet Jeremiah reminds us of in today’s verse. He then encourages us to do something that might feel hard during the painful circumstances of life. Go to http://bit.ly/33NxEhQ for the show notes for this episode.

RT050 – Don’t ask God to bless your plan! Jeremiah 42:6 - A Radical Thought
God rightfully expects us to obey Him. Just because you come up with what you believe is the perfect plan to prosper yourself or to be happy doesn’t mean that God is going to go along with it. It is okay to make plans, but we need to let God be God and let Him decide whether we go forward with those plans. Go to http://bit.ly/2MR8w2W for the show notes for this episode.

RT049 – A battle of the will! Romans 10:3 - A Radical Thought
We don’t get to decide how we come to Father God. Some people have odd ideas about how they will approach God to worship Him. They imagine that they can choose how God wants to be worshipped. It doesn’t work that way. We don’t decide how to approach God; he has already told us how. Paul helps us to understand that in this devotional from Romans 10:3.

RT048 – Learning the hard way! 2 Chronicles 12:8 - A Radical Thought
The choice is ours; serve God with a humble heart or endure the forced humbling of our heart by an unloving destroyer. Not everything bad that comes in our life is because God is mad at us or punishing us; sometimes it is just the fact that we are living in a broken, fallen world. But it is possible that God might be allowing some difficult thing in our lives because we are not humbling ourselves before Him. What should we do if that is true?

RT047 – God hears your prayers! 2 Chronicles 7:14 - A Radical Thought
No matter where we are God will hear us in heaven and respond. There might be times in life when it feels like God is ignoring our prayers. In our verse for the day, the Lord tells King Solomon that there are things we can do to guarantee that God always hears and responds to our prayers.

RT046 – Giving it all to God! 1 Chronicles 29:14 - A Radical Thought
The church and ministry ought to be an extension of only one person; Jesus Christ. The people of David’s time gave generously to build a temple for God. When we give of our time, talent, and reassures, are we doing it to build the kingdom of God, or are we trying to build something else?

RT045 – Calling the equipped! 1 Chronicles 26:8 - A Radical Thought
You should rejoice if God brings someone into your midst who is better than you. There is a natural tendency to protect our positions in life. But what if God is preparing someone else for a role you have in the church or in your workplace? How should we respond when someone comes along who is better than we are?
