Christ in you is . . . (not the hope to cope; or the hope to just get by; or the hope to get blessed with some money; no, no). We need to realize that “Christ in you is the hope of glory!” God longs to visibly demonstrate His holy Presence and His glory in and through believers . . . if we will genuinely surrender to His will and allow ourselves to become undone before Him; if we will truly give up our plans, our programs, & our control.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!

    I came to grasp the reality of Jesus Christ some thirty-seven years ago and welcoming Hin into my life as my Lord and Savior. The rest as been – as Peter describes it, “joy unspeakable and full of glory.”

    It is not a matter of giving up anything – except fear and distrust of others. It is a matter of examining His word and making it applicable to your life – and it really doesn’t matter if others cannot see what you have seen. He makes life worthwhile and the amazing things is, the more you practice it, the more that others begin to ask questions.
