Sermons or discipleship

Posted on January 18, 2019 by Steve Simms

Sermons without discipleship tell people about Jesus without training them to hear Him, follow Him, and daily obey Him. Continually preaching to the same people creates an audience mentality and trains Christians to be observers, not participants. That audience mentality makes … Continue reading →

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Steve Simms

God did it one more time today. He woke you up this morning! I’m so glad that Jesus can be personally encountered and related to and not just learned about through others. What you experience is more powerful than what … Continue reading →

Keeping love “the greatest”

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Steve Simms

“The greatest of these is love.” The greatest calling of the body of Christ is love. If we could get everything else “right” but leave out love, we’d be off base. Love is active surrender to and obedience to Christ … Continue reading →

It’s time for Christ-followers to live in direct awareness of Jesus.

Posted on January 3, 2019 by Steve Simms

The direct awareness of God is far more powerful than mere information about God can ever be. Eyesight is wonderful. Heart-sight is even better. How’s your spiritual vision? Eyesight sees physical things. Heart-sight sees Christ & His inner Light! Jesus is … Continue reading →

Amazing testimonies are being silenced by churches!

Posted on December 30, 2018 by Steve Simms

Most churches are full of people with amazing testimonies about what Christ has done. Perhaps we should let them speak up. One of the best ways to be prophetic is to share how you met Jesus. “The testimony of Jesus … Continue reading →

What if there’s a more effective way of doing church and we’re not seeing it?

Posted on December 24, 2018 by Steve Simms

Christians could become stronger if we turned church services into ministry practice for all who attend. Have you ever been to a listen to Jesus meeting–where believers come together, listen to Jesus, and do what He says? Christianity is supernatural interaction … Continue reading →

Considering Christ & conscience

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Steve Simms

It’s hard to feel right when you do wrong. For me, a conscience-following lifestyle is much more fun than a guilt-producing lifestyle. A violated conscience clamors for correction, crying out for you to make things right. A person without a … Continue reading →

Playing the erase card

Posted on November 16, 2018 by Steve Simms

Play the erase card. Forgive people who have hurt or offended you. Disrespect makes fairness difficult. People who disrespect others reveal their own insecurity and fear. Two or more people won’t ever agree on everything, but their disagreement never needs … Continue reading →

Don’t settle for Christiapathy

Posted on October 2, 2018 by Steve Simms

It’s easy to miss out on miracles if you’re not willing to look for one. A dead church is out of sync with the risen Jesus. It saddens me that church services are often run as if Jesus is dead and … Continue reading →

God wants to haul away your trash

Posted on October 2, 2018 by Steve Simms

God’s always working in each of our lives, however, we often have no idea what He is doing. He wants to haul away the trash from our life, but too often we are unwilling to take to it the curb. … Continue reading →
