We need more than bottled Christianity.

When Christianity
Is a programmed show
There’s no room for
God’s Spirit to flow.
Christ’s living water
Is too fantastic
To be bottled up
In Sunday plastic.
Let’s dare be drastic
And drink from God’s spring.

Jesus is no absentee. He’s always available to live in and through you and me.

When lame Christians begin to honestly and humbly look at each other heart-to-heart we will behold the physical reality of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Then we will dare to take each other by the hand and boldly say, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” We’ll be supernaturally empowered to begin walking, and leaping, and praising God every day in the Spirit. People will recognize us as the same folks who used to sit passively in beautiful church buildings and the world will be filled with wonder and amazement at what is happening to us.

It’s time to be led by both God’s Spirit and His Scriptures. It’s dangerous to elevate theology, religious traditions, and church programs above the Bible and/or the Holy Spirit.
