Honesty never deceives. It never hides in darkness. It always receives light and humbly submits to and aligns with reality “because no lie comes from the truth.” (1 John 2:21)

Dishonesty dances around truth and distorts it under the cover of darkness, but never fully embraces it. Dishonesty dips into truth and uses twisted parts of it as tools to strengthen deception.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:26) Surrendering your heart and life to be continually anointed by His presence and power always leads to truth. (1 John 2:20) To walk in the truth (3 John 1:3-4) fully surrender to “Christ in you,” (Colossians 1:27) and let Him help you to deny yourself, (Matthew 16:24) constantly lead you by His Spirit, (Romans 8:14) and keep you overflowing with “the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16)

An amazing thing will happen if you’ll consistently live a Christ-centered, fully surrendered life. “You do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in Him.” (1 John 2:27)

True Christianity
Is always Christ-centered
And fully surrendered
To the risen Jesus
And to His anointing.

Jesus said: “Deny yourself,” not “Rely on yourself.” “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.” ―G.K. Chesterton

If you attend church but don’t daily listen to and obey the living Jesus, you’ve missed the point of Christianity. No human religious organization is the body of Christ. Not one. Can we handle the truth?

The body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27) is the worldwide family of God. (Ephesians 2:19) It’s parachurch. It’s beyond church. It works outside of and across denominations and institutional churches. The body of Christ is Spirit-led, relational, and organic. (Romans 8:14) The living Jesus is its only Head — if Christ isn’t the literal and active Head, then it’s not His body. The true body of Christ isn’t controlled by a human hierarchy. It consists of people who are connected to and surrendered heart-to-heart to the risen Jesus and to each other.
