I try not to do extreme anything. I am not a political extremist. None of the political parties have ever really met my desires or expectations. I am not an ethnic extremist. Racism was something that once ran deep in my blood. God’s eliminated a great deal of that. And while I do believe Jesus is the only hope for all humankind, I probably don’t classify as a religious extremist.

Yet, I do struggle with extremism. I think all of us find ourselves reacting extremely to many things. Narrow-mindedness makes me crazy and I have extreme reactions to it. Legalism in the church is something I struggle not to over-react to. And when a supposedly mature Christian causes a younger Christian to stumble, I want to over-react to that.

Sometimes we struggle with extremism in terms of our reactions.

And many struggle not to live life in the extremes.

This podcast speaks to this issue and gives steps one can take to escape the pitfall of extremism.
