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!

I unintentionally (and intentionally) break church laws. That’s because I don’t see church in the Bible. The word is there in English language Bibles, but I can’t find the tradition-bound religious institution that we call church anywhere in Scripture. Emil … Continue reading →

I would like to make war a crime.

Posted on February 12, 2024 by Steve Simms

If I could change one law, I would make war a crime — not just certain kinds of war, but all of it. War is cruel. War is devastating. War is the failure of peace and love. As a famous … Continue reading →

I’ve lost interest in trying to fit into an institutional church.

Posted on February 9, 2024 by Steve Simms

How we need Spirit-directed Christi-followers and Spirit-led gatherings! When the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, He empowered Christ-seekers to live Spirit-directed lives and to participate in Spirit-led assemblies. Now the members of the body of Christ don’t have to stay … Continue reading →
