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!

Posted on October 16, 2019 by Steve Simms

Is modern Christianity the same as biblical Christianity?

Posted on October 12, 2019 by Steve Simms

Biblical Christianity recognized that God is love. However, they also knew that doesn’t mean that He cancels the consequences of everybody’s bad choices. Biblical Christians live like this: “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is … Continue reading →

Looking beyond self-colored glasses

Posted on October 12, 2019 by Steve Simms

Too many people are like a broken collideoscope, locked in a single viewpoint. They’re missing the beauty of other perspectives. There are none so blind as those who adamantly refuse to see from any viewpoint but their own. When your … Continue reading →

Self-motivation frequently falters, but Spirit-motivation is an inner fire

Posted on October 10, 2019 by Steve Simms

Jesus calls us to Spirit-initiated behavior, not self-initiated behavior. Being led by the Holy Spirit is radically different than being led by our own desires. It’s vital to know the difference. When we ignore the Holy Spirit’s leadership, we’re left … Continue reading →

Posted on October 10, 2019 by Steve Simms
