Posted on April 2, 2021 by Steve Simms

Posted on February 13, 2021 by Steve Simms

Let’s reverse Xmas to Christx

Posted on December 21, 2020 by Steve Simms

The abbreviation, Xmas deletes the wrong letters. I prefer Christx–exalting the living Jesus! On Christx Day, remember God’s xtreme love in sending Emmanuel (God with us). Christx is a good time to show Jesus’ extravagant love to everyone. O, the … Continue reading →

Posted on December 11, 2020 by Steve Simms

An incredible experience makes you want to tell people about it. Jesus gives me joy and incredible experiences! If the living Jesus has done something in your life, “shout it from the housetops.” Christians will be tense if they only … Continue reading →

Idols of the heart, church, & Christians

Posted on October 8, 2020 by Steve Simms

Idolatry isn’t just an ancient thing. It’s all around us today. Modern idols are hard to detect. Most go unnoticed. Anytime I choose my will instead of God’s, I’m making a idol. When beliefs about God, become a substitute for … Continue reading →

Christ-followers are called to be led by the Spirit and surrendered to the rule (kingdom) of God. When Jesus is more than religions information and becomes within you, living animation, you experience supernatural transformation. Christians are called to live and … Continue reading →

Beware of backwards Christianity

Posted on June 26, 2020 by Steve Simms

Vibrant with the living Jesus

Posted on June 19, 2020 by Steve Simms

When Jesus introduced Himself to me, it wasn’t about theology. He made my blind eyes see. Church, without the actual presence of the risen Jesus, is like licking a picture of an ice cream cone. There’s no reason for awe … Continue reading →

“Selfianity” promotes self-focus

Posted on January 10, 2020 by Steve Simms

Christianity calls us to self-denial. Selfianity promotes self-focus. Some people want Christianity when it’s convenient and an escape clause when it’s not. When Christ is only a theory, we’ll grow spiritually weary. When He’s living within, we’ll overcome our sin. … Continue reading →
