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!

The Peaceful Purpose of Patriotism

Posted on February 16, 2024 by Steve Simms

To me being patriotic means total loyalty and full, heart-felt commitment and obedience to the highest authority. The nations of the world falsely claim to be that highest authority and convince their citizens to worship them as though they were … Continue reading →

Breaking church laws

Posted on February 15, 2024 by Steve Simms

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 →
