We ARE citizens of a different kingdom. We DO fight battles differently. We’re not out of touch, but soberly aware yet with different solutions.

Violence is the inevitable dénouement to pervading (especially sexual) corruption in society—the last act. God showed us that he hates it and that he will remove it justly when he comes again. Until then, preach like Noah. ccwtoday.org/2025/09/the-las…

This unique moment in history begs for true believers in Christ to clearly and persistently and lovingly explain the most significant message ever given to mankind.

As intriguing as the political and cultural situation is, from the Bible’s perspective it is only the backdrop to the real story — what God is doing with and through Christians.

What happens in, through. and around Christian believers is more significant and critical than what happens in politics and culture, unless the perspective of the Bible is skewed.

We love and use this new hymn on baptism. I hope you will also. youtube.com/watch?v=AKOV7ve_…

Philip Schaff (Presbyterian church historian): “Immersion, and not sprinkling, was unquestionably the original form of baptism. Immersion shows the very meaning of the Greek word baptize” (Schaff’s History of the Apostolic Church, p. 568)

Calvin:“. . . it is evident that the term “baptize” means to immerse, and that this was the form used by the primitive church.” (Institutes, Book IV, Ch XV, Para 19)

It does not help to presume that we are good and can reform mankind with some posturing and this or that program, when merely looking and thinking about ourselves reveals otherwise. The problem is in the heart. There has been and will continue to be only one way out: Christ.

We should not hold any vestige of remaining hope in religious rituals to save us, or other social constructs or programs but ultimately only in the pure, stark saving gift of Christ seen in Scripture.

What has become obvious is that the old evolutionary hope in the innate goodness of mankind and its gradual improvement over time is entirely unfounded, just as the Bible states, and that there is no answer therefore except in Christ who was sent to us to deliver us.

Believers—don’t insist on being entertained to learn the Bible. Toughen up & read like a battle is on. Children presented Disneyized Bible stories become unaccustomed to learning like a soldier when older. The battle IS happening, & you & your children are in the thick of it.

In our church, we’ve eaten more than 1000 Lord’s Suppers. I sincerely hope you will read this free book either by pdf or in a hard copy (pay shipping only)—The Lord’s Supper is a Meal. ccwtoday.org/product/the-lor…

One of the great privileges of our house church life is that we have more free funds to invest in worldwide missions—usually at least 35%.

We love and serve all true churches regardless of meeting patterns, but 22 years of house church life has spoiled us. See more here: christfellowshipKC.org

Though some of the churches the Apostles started were large, they were not large like we have designed them, that is, meeting all in one place. Rather, the larger church of the city was made up of a growing number of house churches….a very different and attractive model.
