Christianity is More Than Sitting People in Rows

Faith is inspired
By God’s Spirit.
It’s not acquired
By studying.

An inner flash
Of sudden insight
Has more power
Than a mental stash
Of information.
Faith isn’t science.
It’s full reliance
On Christ in you.

The way faith grows
Isn’t by sitting
People in rows
To listen to
What one man knows.
It grows
When people expose
Their heart to Christ
And to one another.

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!
