Christ Separates, But Satan Divides…What’s The Difference?

May 17, 2012 in Church life and Christian living, Institutional Religion with 3 Comments

Last week on this blog, I posted an article titled ‘Jesus Christ…The Dividing Light of ‘Separation’.  If you haven’t yet gotten the chance to read this post, let me strongly encourage you to click the link above and give it a read.  I am convinced that the things discussed there are vitally important.  

The dialogue that occurs from readers posting their comments and questions to the blog are as equally important as the articles themselves in my opinion.  In today’s post, I’d like to highlight a specific comment from that post that is extremely insightful. Continue Reading…

The $15 Billion Secret Of The Honey Bee & The Disappearance Of Evangelicals

May 15, 2012 in Church leadership, Church life and Christian living, Institutional Religion with 25 Comments

When I was a child, I was deeply petrified of bees.  To be honest, I still get a little uneasy whenever those flying monsters buzz around my head.  In the last couple of years, however, I have come to appreciate bees more than ever before.  As a matter of fact, I am convinced that many of the problems that occur among evangelical Christians today could be solved by bees.  Let me explain…

Jesus Christ…The Dividing Light Of ‘Separation’

May 7, 2012 in Church life and Christian living, God's Eternal Purpose, Institutional Religion, Organic Church with 18 Comments

These last few days, I have been re-reading the biblical account of creation from the book of Genesis due to a prompting from a friend of mine. I must say that re-reading this account of creation while actively looking for a revelation of Jesus Christ in the story has changed everything! (After all, it was really written about Him anyway.) What I am seeing of Christ is astounding. He is our dividing light of separation! Continue Reading…

Fruit Powered Clocks, Synthetic Foods, & ‘Worship Services’

April 30, 2012 in Church leadership, Church life and Christian living, Institutional Religion, Organic Church with 23 Comments

A friend of mine knows a physician that specializes in a natural approach to medicine to treat disease and illness.  To emphasize his point, sitting on his desk is a powerful demonstration of his message.  This physician has a digital clock displayed that is running and keeping time.  What is special about this display is the fact that the clock has no battery, and is not plugged into the wall.  Its only power source is fruit!

Easter, Christmas, & The Slander of Paul The Apostle

April 6, 2012 in Church life and Christian living, Institutional Religion, Uncategorized with 37 Comments

This week, most of Christendom has been celebrating what is known as ‘holy week’. Holy week typically begins with Palm Sunday, and ends with Easter Sunday.

I have a confession to make to you…’holy week’ has lost its significance and importance in my life. Continue Reading…

Please Pray For Our Elders…

April 4, 2012 in Church leadership, Institutional Religion with 15 Comments

Believe it or not, from time to time I receive invitations to speak in institutional settings or conferences. My most recent institutional speaking engagement was just last week. I always use these opportunities to share my heart about Christ’s desire to be manifested and expressed through His church (people in Christ who are living by His divine life together).

To be quite honest, I am not a fan of the element of ‘performance’ that goes into public speaking engagements. Continue Reading…

Cliques, Celebrity Leaders, & The Disease of Hierarchy

February 14, 2012 in Church leadership, Church life and Christian living, Institutional Religion with 32 Comments

If you have ever socialized with a group of human beings before, you have probably come into contact with the phenomena of cliques / factions, and celebrity fascination.  If you think back to your elementary school days, you will notice that kids seemed to exhibit this innate ability pretty early.  It is not something that has to be taught.
