Christianity desperately needs to be revitalized

Posted on November 10, 2021 by Steve Simms

“The truth will set you free.” It’s time for Christians to gather and allow everyone present the freedom to obey the Spirit. When Christian worship is overmanaged and overcontrolled, there’s little or no room for the living Jesus to do … Continue reading →

Whew! Spontaneous Christianity’s amazing, y’all!

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Steve Simms

My wife and I just had a married couple, who really love Jesus, over for dinner and we saw the Spirit lead. We ate, shared testimonies, laughed, prayed, danced, took communion, prayed more, laughed more, repeatedly saw the gifts of … Continue reading →

Jesus is eternal, but sermons aren’t supposed to be

Posted on February 13, 2021 by Steve Simms

I can’t find the idea in Scripture that meetings of the body of Christ, need to be built around a sermon. If Christians spent more time reading the Bible with an open heart, we wouldn’t feel such a need to … Continue reading →

Systemic religion vs. freedom in the Spirit

Posted on September 6, 2020 by Steve Simms

Religion is systemic. The Holy Spirit flows. Sometimes they contradict. Sermon-free, unprogrammed, Spirit-led worship is an amazing thing to experience. Spiritual awakening focuses on the living Jesus, not on preachers, churches, or politicians. When church allows attendees no function but … Continue reading →

Church is changing. What's it gonna be like?

Posted on March 21, 2020 by Steve Simms

Church may shut down, but not the risen Jesus. Daily obeying Him is the key to inner peace. If you have trouble being close to God when church services are closed, maybe you’ve been too dependent on a religious program. … Continue reading →

Christianity needs more “heartials” and fewer facials

Posted on January 7, 2020 by Steve Simms

Facials are fine, but what we all really need is heartials. When Christians gather with a “minister to me” attitude instead of a “let’s minister to one another” attitude, we miss much that God has for us. Perhaps a group … Continue reading →

New wineskins for Jesus

Posted on January 4, 2020 by Steve Simms

Jesus talked about the need for new wineskins. New wineskins allow room for the body of Christ to manifest supernatural heart-connection between Christ-followers. Old wineskins have hardened into religious systems and traditions. Systems are great and help humans function in … Continue reading →

Reality Christianity — more than a “form of godliness”

Posted on December 16, 2019 by Steve Simms

Reality Christianity presents Jesus as real, present, active, and powerful in the now (not just in the past). Reality Christianity isn’t a program or presentation. It’s to obey Jesus’ words: “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.” The … Continue reading →

Be God’s preacher, no matter what you do for a living.

Posted on July 28, 2019 by Steve Simms

Be God’s preacher, no matter what you do for a living. Limiting the voice of Christianity to ordained preachers and what they say in a church has crippled the spontaneity of the faith. Worship is simple. Anytime, any place, you … Continue reading →
