Radical Adjustments, Part One

July 09, 2022

by Pastor Chuck SwindollScriptures: Joshua 1:9

Extreme dilemmas are usually solved by radical adjustments. It used to be called “fighting fire with fire.” Minor alterations won’t do. If the situation is getting completely out of hand, a slight modification won’t cut it. It’s get-with-it time.

  • If the tumor is the size of a grapefruit, taking a handful of vitamins three times a week isn’t the answer.
  • If the foundation has shifted so much that the walls are cracking and the windows won’t close, the place needs more than a paint job.
  • If the ship is sinking and the storm is getting stronger, it’s time to do something much more decisive than dialogue.
  • If the church is emptying because needs are going unmet, singing hymns and preaching longer sermons won’t do the trick.
  • If the family isn’t talking, serving more meals is hardly the way to turn things around.

The most radical alternative may sometimes be the most practical. These will not be the most popular or enjoyable decisions . . . or the most diplomatic.

Radical adjustments make waves, not friends. Heads sometimes roll and hearts often break. The uninvolved public seldom understands or agrees, especially at the outset. But the strange thing is that radical adjustments, more often than not, make pretty good sense when reconsidered through the rearview mirror. After the fact, stone-throwing critics ultimately nod their approval . . . calling the decision “courageous” or even “visionary.” What the critics usually overlook is just how painful the drastic decision really was.
