Crazy Love

Sometimes I feel like when I make decisions that are remotely biblical, people who call themselves Christians are the first to criticize and say Im crazy, that Im taking the Bible too literally, or that Im not thinking about my familys well-being. When people gladly sacrifice their time or comfort or home, it is obvious that they trust in the promises of God. Why is it that the story of someone who has actually done what Jesus commands resonates deeply with us, but we then assume we could never do anything so radical or intense? Or why do we call it radical when, to Jesus, it is simply the way it is? The way it should be?
