We have discussed that being radical is to go back to the root and start to redefine what the bible says about our lifestyle in our generation. So the kind of lifestyle that we manifest out is determined by our root or the outcome of our redefinition of what God wants us to be in our generation.
The main thing that I know is important is that everything that we do have to be SIMPLE. This is the time for us to come back to the root and be simple. There is a calling from the Kingdom for us to embrace the lifestyle of simplicity. Jesus is a simple man who teaches a simple way of life to come back to the reality of God. Everything that HE teaches and lives come out of a simplicity of loving the Father and His obedient to do The Father’s will.
Our big problem is that we are too complicated in the way we live out what we believe. That have caused a big confusion to the world because when we are complicated our message becomes blurred and people sometimes could not understand the love of God because our lives have showed love so complicated by our disunity. I know the challenge that in a complicated world, simplicity always becomes a threat.
I believe that in simplicity our message will be clear, because people can easily understand simple things. What I meant is that people can see our message through our lives and can understand the message that we bring to them. Only clarity can bring understanding in the heart of the people. Also we need to understand that when we are simple we can easily move. It means that through simplicity our lifestyle not only something that our community can enjoy but can be a movement that influences a generation. This is true through history that every movement always started with a simple beginning. Jesus started His discipleship movement with very simple people that live out a simplicity of love and obedient through denying self and carry the cross. Because they lived out what they believed, the clarity of their message penetrated the society and because it was so simple many people could easily live out what they understand and suddenly the movement broke out.
Through the history we learn that the church easily get rigid and stiff because of the complexity that the church been through and slowly the church also becomes so complicated like the world she lives in. Because the church has become so rigid, the church now is in a very difficult stage to change. The church does not want to change. When you are complicated is difficult to change. As an agent of change we have failed God with that assignment. Simplicity helps us to change according to the will of God through the generations.
Last thing that I want to share is that when we live a simple life style; we can easily be SENT out in the mission field. The word SENDING is sometimes occupied with financial burden in it. We avoid sending people sometimes because we complaint about the budget that involved in it. But the reality is this that we can and we are able to send people out in the mission field if want to pay the price of living in simplicity. Our big challenge is our luxurious lifestyle that consumed all of our financial. To be honest we are all addicted to our own comfort zone of materialism and selfishness. This is the time for us to surrender all of these comforts to Jesus, and leave them behind. We need to change the way we think. We need to understand that this world was based on the principles of giving away. When you are simple you can easily give away thing that will enhance the kingdom. Welcome to SIMPLICITY MOVEMENT.

The diversion of radical meaning has attacked our commitment to go back to basic of our Kingdom life style as promised in the Bible.
Radical means root or rooted etc. SO when we talk about radical lifestyle it does not mean that we live outrage, crazy and unbelievably lawlessness but it simply means back to the root (The Bible) and start to redefine what the bible says about our lifestyle in our generation.

Setiap kali kita bertanya apakah yang menjadi keinginan Tuhan untuk kita maka yang akan muncul kepermukaan adalah ketaatan. Jadi hal yang mendasar dalam kehidupan kita bukan soal menang atau kalah tapi lebih pada taat atau tidak.
