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…

Legitimate Burdens & Romance

May 3, 2012 in Church leadership, Church life and Christian living, God's Eternal Purpose, Organic Church with 15 Comments

Burdens are something that most of us have either carried in the past, or something we are carrying in the present.  We are all familiar with the concept of ‘carrying a burden’.  While some burdens are legitimate, many are not.  Illegitimate burdens stem from human attempts to manipulate or control people or situations.  Illegitimate burdens are also rooted in our attempts to keep law based religious teachings, as well as our fleshly desire to strive and accomplish a great name for ourselves.  Legitimate burdens, however, are quite different as they stem directly from the Lord sharing His heart with us about a specific person, cause, or situation.

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!

Fleshly Indulgence In The Holy Land?

April 10, 2012 in Church life and Christian living, Organic Church with 17 Comments

This past weekend, the brothers in the church body that I am a part of spent the weekend together in a large cabin a couple of hours away from the city we live in. We engaged in rock climbing, repelling, and (in my opinion) a very challenging 6-8 mile hike deep into (and back out of) a lush green valley. Needless to say, I am very sore this morning as I type these words:) Continue Reading…

Do You Look Like A Drunk & A Glutton?

March 21, 2012 in Church life and Christian living, Organic Church with 19 Comments

About a week ago, a fellow brother in the church community that I am a part of was sharing with me how his day to day life has changed since he began this journey into organic New Testament church life. The religious activities that he was once heavily engaged in have been replaced by something else. Continue Reading…

Why $50,000?  That’s a great question. Continue Reading…

Beautiful Sisters & A Historic Meeting

February 23, 2012 in Church life and Christian living, Organic Church with 20 Comments

In the church community that I am a part of, we refer to one another as ‘sisters’ and ‘brothers’.  You may think that sounds a bit odd, but actually it’s quite biblical and normal for family.  The scriptures use the exact same kind of language to refer to those who are ‘in Christ’.  In our natural fleshly families, we think of our siblings and refer to them as brothers and sisters, not simply ‘men’ & ‘women’, as that would actually be a bit weird.  As you may know, Jesus spoke of human fleshly family as only being a shadow of the real family ‘in’ Him.  Simply put, spirit is thicker than blood!

Yeah, I Got Your Back…Do You Have Mine?

January 19, 2012 in Church life and Christian living, Organic Church with 18 Comments

A few weeks ago a friend of mine was maligned, misrepresented, and his ministry was brought into question.  When I became aware of this attack on my friend, I was infuriated to say the least.  In the past, the source of my anger usually emanated from an offense to my mind, will, or emotions (soul), but not this time.  This was a different kind of anger coming from an entirely different source.  This time, it was my spirit that was livid, and I saw the difference.  Needless to say, I was compelled to open my mouth and come to his defense.

Home…Finally (and a special song from a 1980′s ‘hair’ band)

I love to travel, and I have certainly been on a long journey. After years of traveling, however, I have some good news to report. I’m home! After a long journey, I wish I could describe to you just how amazing it is to be home. Let me explain: Continue Reading…
