Moses is Dead

In this episode, we intended to give a sort of update on our current thought processes but ended up in one of our conversations that trails off to many topics and thoughts. So, you get a glimpse into what it’s like when we talk to each other. Enjoy!

What have we allowed ourselves to believe because of the institutional church? That talent = anointing? church membership = being born again? disagreements = persecution? church positions = spiritual authority? Have we inadvertently placed our faith in these “good deeds”? 

Ezekiel delivers a message to the false shepherds in Chapter 34.

““Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Let’s talk church leadership. What’s your idea of a good church leader? Do you hold your pastor in an unhealthy high regard? Have you place unBiblical and unattainable expectations on those in authority? Are those church leadership roles Biblical? Are your church leaders fulfilling their role according to scripture or according to man?

This is the first part of a discussion around church leaders. 

Most Christians would not admit that a person’s righteousness is wrapped up in their church attendance, but yet measure the faith of others (and ourselves) by our quality of church attendance.  There’s nothing wrong with going, but WHY are you going? And are you seeking and cultivating a relationship with Christ outside of the four walls of a building?

1 Samuel 15

Are we just keeping ourselves busy to keep ourselves busy? Just because it’s church work, doesn’t mean it’s obedience. Do we expect a “quid pro quo” kind of relationship with God?

In this special Christmas episode, we share one of our most favorite family traditions - the reading of scripture concerning the birth of Jesus. We’ve added more to our reading to include prophecy about his birth and death.

Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
