Perhaps church meetings should let Jesus’ water well up like an internal spring inside all of Christ’s followers and allow them to overflow on the congregation through testimonies, Scriptures, praises, prophetic words, short teachings, confessions, prayers, etc.
“The water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” -Jesus (John 4:14)

Maybe everybody should be allowed to speak, as enabled by the Spirit, in a church meeting.

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!
