Matthew 3:10, Luke 3:9
Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
The word "radical" comes from the Latin “radix” which means “root.”
So when we speak of "getting radical" about our faith, we must mean getting to the root of things -- not merely trimming the outer limbs and twigs. If our “radical” does not begin to chop away at the trunk, it is just topiary. It may appear to be "getting serious," or “getting things into shape,” but it only looks that way. The only difference it makes is for temporary appearance, but it makes no difference for eternal significance.
