.Deconstruction can be dangerous. Religious deconstruction without Spirit-led reconstruction will leave your faith in rubble.

To move beyond the authoritarianism of churchianity we need to break free from the chains of self-righteousness and spiritual pride. We need to move away from being a high control group so we can discover true freedom in Christ. It’s vital that we go beyond inherited beliefs into direct personal, heart-connection with, direct interaction with, and ongoing surrender to the risen Jesus.

To deconstruct churchianity so that Christ can be the literal and living Head of His body requires that Christians go through a Spirit-led deconstruction process. It’s important that we lower our degree of religiosity by eliminating fear-based loyalty to the human hierarchy of holy institutions and church traditions.

To truly encounter the beauty and glory of Spirit-led reconstruction it’s essential that we learn to daily listen to, experience, and obey the presence, power, and reality of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” We also need to be continually corrected by and aligned with the Spirit-inspired writings of the earliest Christians that were brought together as the Bible.

It is invigorating to let the Holy Spirit deconstruct the institutionalism that has accumulated around Christianity and to clear away the rules, rituals, teachings, and formalisms that aren’t rooted in the Bible. Then way we can make room for the living Jesus to step into the literal Headship of His body. However, here’s a word of caution.

To obey one prompting from God is much more powerful than doing dozens of obligatory things. Being led by God’s Spirit is far more effective and healing than being led by religious requirements.

When Christians gather
And let Christ be Head
They are Spirit-led.
