Simplified Christianity

A Simple Look At Church Attendance Today, I hope you  read  this in a loving tone, and not an accusatory one... I  believe  the Lord's church is struggling with identity due to some misunderstandings about what God desires from His children... Please read, share, comment and don't shy away from discussion... Read Hebrews 10:19-39 1) Hebrews 10:25 is one of the most misused, misrepresented pieces of Scripture in the history of Christianity. —> this is not hyperbole, it is fact… so many well-meaning preachers, teachers, and Christians have mistakenly leapt to the rescue of their ne’er do well delinquent friends and have shoved this verse into their face in an effort to guilt those people back to church… and then have had the audacity to go home and pat themselves on the back believing that would be the way Jesus would have operated!

Welcome... This is intended to be a place to store, share, and discuss thoughts about what lives that claim to follow Christ should look like. I entitled this blogspot "Simplified Christianity" because I feel strongly that so many people have tried to create a Christianity that is so diluted, convoluted, and confused that they cannot seem to locate the person God has called them to be in Scripture. I know for a fact that I do not have the answers to every single question, but I also know for a fact that God is not the author of confusion, so I make contact with His Word often to find exactly what it is He expects and then I try to do that. See? Isn't that simple? I hope you will be active participant in this blog and will be encouraged by it...

John writes about our need to...
