My Humanistic Theolo...

posted by Ryan

Christ has been ripping my theology apart in the last few years and continually showing me the depths of His love. He has dissolved my self-inspired theology that was developed through years of being led by my eyes and ears, rather than the Spirit of God. I would hear what I thought was a...

Simplicity.

posted by Ryan

We have made to Gospel too complex. We have created ministries and churches with big buildings, large salaries and unnecessary overhead; all in the name of spreading the gospel. We have fundraising drives to raise money for building projects, or missionaries. We become so ministry-minded,...
