It appears to me as though most of what are called “churches” here in the USA today are not the biblical body of Christ, operating as the biblical body of Christ, according to the teachings of the Scriptures. But rather they are institutions of human origin, partnered with the ungodly, which are being marketed to … Continue reading Operating as the Biblical Body of Christ
The Church
Institutional Religion
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the … Continue reading Institutional Religion
The Church, The Body of Christ

Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the … Continue reading The Temple of The Living God
The Church Under Fire Forward
I sense the Lord Jesus leading me to repost an internet book he gave me to write back in May of 2023 called, “The Church Under Fire,” which will be posted one chapter at a time (7 chapters plus a forward). This is my testimony of some church experiences that I had over a span … Continue reading The Church Under Fire Forward
