When church meets like a bicycle wheel, God’s Spirit rolls on!

Posted on March 3, 2023 by Steve Simms

Demonstrations of Jesus’ love are far more effective than sermons about it. People in alcohol and drug recovery learn to “Let go and let God.” Why don’t pastors let go and let Jesus peddle? Revival happens when Jesus takes control … Continue reading →

Revival seeks to return us to the original “awe-dition” of Christianity

Posted on February 24, 2023 by Steve Simms
