Have we been emotionally screwed

By living in a culture

That constantly promotes

The rude, the crude, and the lewd?

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”  –Philippians 4:18

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!

    ON the CONTRARY, the “WORLD” ACCEPTS ME MORE THAN the “CHURCH”! SORRY … GOD KNOWS

    Acceptance is suppose to be a virtue of compassion and empathy not ‘Whatever is good for you or right for you’ We still need bold enough people to stand up for an ‘absolute’ truth of the difference between right and wrong. Truth is not subjective. If it was, then we would not have laws or order and we would be in chaos. It’s sad to hear when our own churches have a hard time practicing acceptance and living and promoting righteous and holy lives.
