These young soldiers marched to the beat of a different drum. They knew that affecting a society meant much more than just the willingness to change communication styles. They believed radical was not just cool boots, denim bell-bottoms and trendy bumper-stickers, but something of the head and the heart of one who belonged wholly to God. They had a radical message; from the revivalists of history they preached a gospel of repentance and forgiveness, that Jesus had come to save people from their sins, to make men and women holy, and that there would be no lasting change without true conversion to Christ. They had a radical motive that became their watchword; “God’s Love Is the Greatest Force In the Universe”. They used radical methods; time and time again they broke the mold of what Christians who loved Christ were supposed to do and think and say. They shook the Church and they touched the world.
