Radical Chapter 2

In chapter 2 of Radical, David Platt asks if we are able to discern what parts of our faith are Biblical and which are just American.

He mentions our tendency to manipulate the Bible to our own comfort. In the Bible there is no verse about "praying a sinner's prayer" to "accept Jesus". But quite often that's what American culture reduces Christianity down to.

This "one time decision with no action afterwards", this "one-way ticket to heaven" is a road built on sinking sands. The actual gospel is far different from this (American) cultural version.
