Posted on February 12, 2020 by Steve Simms

Following self-love isn’t the same thing as following God’s love. Idealism and utopia are not impossible dreams, but glimpses of how far we have fallen from the kingdom of God. To be Spirit-led is to let the living Jesus, Himself, … Continue reading →

Let God be the organizer!

Posted on August 4, 2019 by Steve Simms

Follow the Holy Spirit speaking in your conscience and through the Bible

Posted on May 7, 2019 by Steve Simms

Worship flows (both a noun & a verb)

Posted on July 26, 2018 by Steve Simms

Many people never test drive their faith. They just accept what the religious salesman tells them. However, Spirit-led curiosity is more powerful than programmed religiosity. Surrounded by a natural world saturated with God’s glory, we too often sit in our personal … Continue reading →
