Man can stand on the top of Everest and see the curvature of the earth and gasp. Men can stand on the moon, look back at the beauty of the earth and gasp. But the man who can stand upon the horizon of eternity and glimpse the majesty and immensity of God, his gasp is the sound of him being ruined for this life.

The Evangelical sub-culture-Mere religion?
Posted by appolus on February 23, 2011
Is evangelicalism the newest form of “Religion”? Perhaps its always been a religion? Or perhaps it morphed into religion? Whatever the case, it is clear that it is truly a sub-culture. Genuine Christianity has always been a counter-culture. Right from the beginning, those who had encountered God were radically transformed. What they had may not have been perfect, but they were never accused of looking like the world. The world knew who they were, they always knew who they were. They were a ” peculiar,” people. They were out of step with the world. They ran counter to the culture.

Why isn’t the American church growing?
Posted by appolus on February 18, 2011
God is moving in powerful ways in the developing world. How is it that God can visit a mud hut in the middle of Africa yet bypass the comfortable sanctuaries we created for Him in our country? Ravenhill answered it this way: “God does not answer prayer; He answers desperate prayer.” Jesus comes to those who are desperate for Him. The reason I believe that most of us never experience a move of God is simply that we are content to live without it. In the West we now have the money but no longer the power to speak to a paralyzed world. The song in our hearts is gone, as well as our desire for Him to rule at the center of our hearts. We quickly point to our blessings (which are almost always of the material variety) and claim that our overabundance is due to God’s favor. Read the rest of this entry »

Jehovah Rides upon a swift cloud !
Posted by appolus on February 17, 2011
Where are we today? Is the Bridegroom truly at the door? Does the day of our salvation draw nigh? So many Christians around the world just sense it in their spirit that the day of the Lord is fast approaching. And yet there seems to be just as many who have no conception of the times in which we live. Jesus told us that we should be able to discern the signs of the times. The thought of judgment on a grand scale is so overwhelming that it takes the Holy Spirit to wake a people up. Now, when the day of the Lord occurs, it has always been overwhelming. It was overwhelming for humanity in the days of Noah when the rains began to fall from the sky. Right up until the day that Noah entered the ark, people went about their business, albeit everyone of them were wicked, but God had His remnant.

The Church of Tomorrow

“THE CHURCH OF TOMORROW “
-by Andrew Strom.
A lot of people probably read some of the writings on this website and
wonder, “Where is all this headed? What is the goal?” A glib answer might
be- “We want to get back to real ‘New Testament’ Christianity.” But what
exactly does that look like?
