I’m Seeking to Give My All to None of These Nations

Posted on October 10, 2025 by Steve Simms

I have no faith in human politics

Posted on December 28, 2023 by Steve Simms

All attempts at human government are flawed. No earthly country has ever had a perfect government. When people talk about government they complain about corruption. The two go hand in hand. That’s because all human beings carry varying degrees of … Continue reading →

I put off thinking negatively about things

Posted on October 15, 2023 by Steve Simms

Being quick to be negative is not a nice thing. There’s so much that troubles me about the world today–unkindness, hostility, anger, hatred, bullying, cruelty, violence, wars, and rumors of wars (especially concerning politics). I could easily let my mind … Continue reading →

A fresh, non-political look at race

Posted on October 3, 2018 by Steve Simms

Talking about race doesn’t have to be political, stressful, or confrontational. It can be encouraging and healing. Check out my new book — Off The Race Track–From Color-Blind To Color-Kind at this link.

Did Jesus establish a democratic *Theocracy?

Posted on November 18, 2017 by Steve Simms

I believe that what we call church was originally intended to be a democratic *Theocracy — an organic body of Jesus’ disciples, ruled and led directly by the living, resurrected Jesus. Jesus established it by saying, “On this rock (of … Continue reading →

Can politically, denominationally, racially, doctrinally, and nationally divided Christians ever be one?

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Steve Simms
