Systemic religion vs. freedom in the Spirit
Religion is systemic. The Holy Spirit flows. Sometimes they contradict. Sermon-free, unprogrammed, Spirit-led worship is an amazing thing to experience. Spiritual awakening focuses on the living Jesus, not on preachers, churches, or politicians. When church allows attendees no function but … Continue reading

Church is changing. What's it gonna be like?
Church may shut down, but not the risen Jesus. Daily obeying Him is the key to inner peace. If you have trouble being close to God when church services are closed, maybe you’ve been too dependent on a religious program. … Continue reading
Christianity needs more “heartials” and fewer facials
Facials are fine, but what we all really need is heartials. When Christians gather with a “minister to me” attitude instead of a “let’s minister to one another” attitude, we miss much that God has for us. Perhaps a group … Continue reading
New wineskins for Jesus
Jesus talked about the need for new wineskins. New wineskins allow room for the body of Christ to manifest supernatural heart-connection between Christ-followers. Old wineskins have hardened into religious systems and traditions. Systems are great and help humans function in … Continue reading
Reality Christianity — more than a “form of godliness”
Reality Christianity presents Jesus as real, present, active, and powerful in the now (not just in the past). Reality Christianity isn’t a program or presentation. It’s to obey Jesus’ words: “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.” The … Continue reading

Be God’s preacher, no matter what you do for a living.
Be God’s preacher, no matter what you do for a living. Limiting the voice of Christianity to ordained preachers and what they say in a church has crippled the spontaneity of the faith. Worship is simple. Anytime, any place, you … Continue reading
Lively spectacles or liturgical spectators
If Christianity doesn’t cause people to feel deeply and passionately about Jesus, it’s not the Christianity of the Bible. Jesus wants His people to be fired-up spectacles of His glory, not religious spectators of His story. Jesus promised His presence … Continue reading
Exciting insights about “church” (reading Ephesians 5 & 6 as written to a group, not just to an individual)
Ephesians 5 says that the assembly of Christ-followers (church) “submits to Christ” as “the head.” I believe that Christ wants to literally, personally head-up every Christian gathering by inwardly promopting individuals to say & do what He tells them to. … Continue reading
Unorganized faith (a very short poem)
I love unorganized faith That freely flows From people’s hearts, Instead of programs.
