Working on a new #BibleStudy on how the earliest Jesus followers changed history & how that model can be replicated today. If you want a deep-dive into Acts 2 and a way to follow Jesus that's so ancient it's actually new, check it out! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
As a Religion and History double major in college, I saw how power, money and influence absolutely corrupted the medieval church. Little did I know that the same judgment would befall today’s expression of American Christianity.
This is the powerful Martin Luther King monument in Washington D.C., a place I've visited in person several times. This monument commemorates the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. Is Civil Rights still a movement or has it become nothing more than a monument? That's a question…
If you strip away all of the God rhetoric, too much of church planting is: we’re going to do things the exact same way, but this time I get to be in charge. Not saying that there’s no need to church planting and that we should only work through existing churches, just saying…
Example #1 of the dangerous mix of old and new covenant thinking: Phil Wickham's popular praise song, "House of the Lord." The refrain goes, "there is joy in the house of the lord." It's a biblical reference, but not from the right testament. The phrase "house of the Lord"…
"For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need." Acts 4:34-35 At the very beginning, the apostles had access to buildings and property, at a time…
Doing some research in the Gospels, I've identified three main times that Jesus actually explained the Holy Spirit to people: Nicodemus in John 3, the disciples in Matthew 10/12, and the disciples again in John 14. Utilizing those three passages, I've landed on three metaphors…
Once you realize that today’s version of church mirrors the OT system of building & rituals than the NT revolution of love & fellowship, you’ll understand why today’s churches are struggling so much. Jesus came to rebel against the temple system, not reinforce it. #church
Two of Jesus’ disciples were on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Matthew was a tax collector for the Roman Empire, colllaborating with and helping fund the occupying force in Israel. Simon the Zealot actively opposed the Roman Empire, most likely with force, and would…
For years I wondered about the time when Jesus spoke of the religious leaders, “Leave them, they are the blind leading the blind.” It seemed a bit harsh. Why not stay inside and fight for change? Now I completely understand. When a heart becomes hard and set in a certain…
One of the brightest biblical lights went off in my soul when I pondered what happened between two Bible verses, Acts 2:41 and 2:42. In verse 41, Luke records that 3000 were added to the church. 3000 brand new believers, an instant mega church. In my mind I imagine the apostles…
Growing up in the church and then pastoring for 20 years, I always had a sense that something was off, something sinister was plaguing the church I loved. But I couldn't discover the root, as hard as I tried. It wasn't until I was on the outside that I had enough perspective.…
Want to know why pastors are tempted to sweep abuse under the rug and ‘protect the institution’? At the last church I pastored, just before my time there was done (non-coincidentally), I had to make a call about reporting abuse. I was the Lead Pastor, and our Youth Pastor came…
If you want to better understand why today's version of Christianity is broken, you need to appreciate the vast differences between the old and new covenants (found in the Old and New Testament) and how today's Christianity is built on the wrong covenant. Four pillars of the…
Once you break Christianity away from the toxic (and unbiblical) rules and burdens placed on it from the old covenant (OT), you’ll discover what a breath-taking, joy-inducing, freedom-fulfilling adventure it was always meant to be. #Jesus
We’ve become the very people Jesus came to rebel against. #church #Christianity #Jesus
I changed my @X handle from my name to "A Voice in the Wilderness" for three reasons: - After 20+ years in full-time church ministry, I've retired because I can no longer in good conscience uplift a ministry model that I believe is inherently and scripturally broken. I'm outside…
Was reconnecting with a friend I knew years ago. We were both super active in the same church before jobs took us in different directions. 20 years later we’re back in the same town. Her family now attends church sporadically, not because she doesn’t love Jesus, but because she…
