The Radical Experiment
Beginning September 12th, the people of Cleary will begin the Radical Experiment. In the book Radical by David Platt, we will read about the
Radical Experiment in chapter 9. The chapter is entitled, One Year to a Life Turned Upside Down. The experiment calls for a one year
commitment to 5 things.
1. Pray for the Entire
World
If we are going to be used of
God to reach the world, here is where we must start. We are going to equip you to pray for the entire world over
the course of a year. Will you
make the commitment?

2. Read through the
Entire Word
If we are going to be used of
God to reach the world, we must know God and receive His heart for the
nations. The place to do that is
in His Word. We will give you a
plan to read through the entire Bible-Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 over the
course of a year. Will you make
the commitment?

3. Sacrifice your Money
for a Specific Purpose
What would it look like for
you (or your family) to make intentional sacrifices over the next year for the
glory of Christ in light of specific, urgent needs in the world? What would happen in our lives,
families, and church if we sacrificed to help feed the 26,000 starving children
in the world, to provide clean drinking water to the thirsty, and the gospel to
those who do not know Christ? God
can impact people from here to the ends of the earth through our
sacrifice. Sacrifice is not giving
according to your ability; it's giving beyond your ability. Will you make the commitment?
4. Spend
your time in another context
The commission to go and make
disciples is a command, not a calling. The question is, "where will we go and how long we will stay." We want to challenge and equip you to
spend at least 2% of your time, approximately one week, in the next year in
another context on mission for Christ.
Will you commit to take the gospel to another context in the world?
5. Commit your life to a
multiplying community
The global purpose of Christ
was never intended to be accomplished by individuals. In order to keep your commitments
you will need support, encouragement, and accountability. This can be accomplished during the Sunday school, on
Wednesday nights, or on some other night of the week in a home. Where Christians lock arms with one
another in communities of faith pursuing a radical Savior, the very gates of
hell cannot stop the spread of God's glory.
