Moving beyond “clergified” Christianity

Don’t miss the inner view. Let Jesus’ light freely shine within you. Accumulating religious information without experiencing ongoing inner transformation falls far short of biblical Christianity. If you look around, you’ll notice that clergified Christianity creates casual, compromised Christians.

Also, we often let modern idols block our inner view of the living God. They include the god of comfort, the god of sexual desire, the god of pride, the god of money, and the god of nationalism.

Instead, let yourself be captivated by the living Jesus Christ, not captured and controlled by the carnal culture around you. Religious information, without God’s inner activation and spiritual animation, will fail to produce genuine heart-transformation and inner freedom.

Informational Christianity targets the mind. Inner-formational Christianity transforms the heart. Being a Christ-follower requires inner transformation, not just accumulating more and more religious information.

To be a member of the body of Christ is to be inhabited by the risen Jesus and led from within by His Holy Spirit. Romans 8:14.

Cultivate and maintain an ongoing heart-connection with the living Jesus as a member of the body of Christ. The body of Christ isn’t divided into organizations, denominations, or “tribes.” It’s one!

Christians who
Truly believe
That Jesus
Is "the way,"
Don't follow
A program
Or a plan.
They follow
The risen
"Son of Man."
The thoughts
I listen to
And obey
Will eventually
Take control of me
Along the way.
