Extremist for Christ



With all the talk of religious extremist in the news, people are afraid of being given that label, which is understandable but should we Christian be afraid of such a label?

According to www.dictionary.com  . Extremism is a tendency or disposition to go to extremes or an instance of going to extremes, especially in political matters:
And here are a few definitions of Extremes 1utmost or exceedingly great In degree. 2: Farthest from the center or middle: outermost

Extreme Views
According to the definitions, an extremist is someone who takes his belief seriously. In western culture, being called an extremist is considered derogatory because we do not like to deal with anyone with strong convictions. The concept of democracy has made us compromisers. We have to compromise on every point in order to be liked, to be popular or to get things done. It cannot be so when it comes to our Christian lives, for we must never compromise with error-no matter the cost, whether it be our own lives. We must stand firm on the rock that is Jesus Christ.


Extremist soldiers of Christ

As Christians, we have to cease being lukewarm and accept the fact that we have to be extremist for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a world where people are killing others for such views, whether it be for defending or spreading freedom, avenging the prophet Mohammed, profits, we followers of Christ are to follow the extreme views of bringing light and life to a dying world. Why is it that many modern Christians are afraid to stand up for Christ ?

Extreme For Good

We are soldiers for Christ. We are his special operation forces in a global battlefield of darkness and our mission is to rescue many of God's children from the fortified fortresses of Satan. This is not a mission for those who are willing to compromise and waver but for those who are extreme in the view that living for Christ is worth more than our lives. We have to be extreme to do good. The doers of evil are dedicated in their acts while we struggle to be politically correct and compromise with philosophies. It is evil for a Christian to have the truth and let others perish without sharing it for fear of being labeled intolerant, extremist and so forth.

Whole armor of God

We as soldiers of the Army of the Lord of Host have to wear the whole armor of God as we head into this battle of sharing the Good News in such a dark world and refusing to compromise with the world. We must become extremists, not the types that will shed blood and force others to accept their faith, but the ones that will bring life to the dying. May we stay strong and firm in the Lord, God bless.


I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.…
Revelation 3:15,16
