RADICAL - What about your neighbor next door? (a blogpst for a sermon based on David Platt's book, "Radical", to be preached on January 25, 2015)

I really believe that our interest in the soul of someone on another continent may correlate to our concern for the eternal destiny of our next door neighbor.  It's hard to imagine concern for people you don't know if you don't have concern for those you do know.  Or perhaps love for the "hypothetical person" is easier than reaching out to a real one?  Or perhaps people only show up on your radar when they "should"?  Or perhaps you don't even think beyond yourself?
