In his book, Radical, David Platt recounts his experience teaching in the underground church in China:
“…Then finally you round the corner and walk into a small room.
Despite its size, sixty believers have crammed into it. They are all ages, from precious little girls to seventy-year-old men. They are sitting either on the floor or on small stools, lined shoulder to shoulder, huddled together with Bibles in their laps. The roof is low, and one light bulb dangles from the middle of the ceiling as the sole source of illumination.
No sound system.
No band.
No guitar.
No entertainment.
No cushioned chairs.
No heated or air-conditioned building.
Nothing but the people of God and the Word of God.
And strangely, that’s enough.
God’s word is enough for millions of believers who gather in house churches just like this one.His Word is enough for millions of other believers who huddle in African jungles, South American rain forests, and Middle Easter cities.
But is his Word enough for us?”
We’ve been blessed with many wonderful things. However, is his Word enough?
