"Jim,
Thank you so much. I am inclined to rejoice much more at the thought of being an overcomer and one who encourages and strengthens others to overcome than I am as being some part of a special remnant. I can see the correlation…"

Jim London commented on Bobby Auner's blog post What's with all this "remnant" business??"Hi, Bobby. I'm wondering whether the remnant concept is likely rooted in the "remnant" theme through the Old Testament. There is a constant reference in the OT to the remnant of Israel/ God's people -- a portion of the larger…"
Mark Collings commented on Bobby Auner's blog post Simple Church is anything but simple"Hi Bobby,
I share much of your experience in organic church. The stark realization that "we" are the church and there is no one to turn to for direction outside Christ is a liberating experience. "I don't…"
Jim London commented on Bobby Auner's blog post Simple Church is anything but simple"Bobby, thank you so much for articulating this beautiful tension within the Body of Christ. The thought has held me for several weeks, that God meets us in our weakness and shows how amazing He is by using that weakness for His good purposes.…"
Jimmy Nduruchi commented on Bobby Auner's blog post Biggest problems facing Simple Church"People rejecting the walking with the Holy Spirit. We are created in time like this to walk with God the Holy Ghost. This is one greatest advantage we have compared to those that lived in times of Christ's earthly ministry, where congestion…"
John F. Morin commented on Bobby Auner's blog post Biggest problems facing Simple Church"When someone eats a steak, to use as an example, he will invariably cut it into small pieces and devour it piecemeal.

An organic expression of Christ
Posted on August 28, 2011 at 2:11pm 1 Comment 1 Like
I write a lot about the church and often you will notice I use the phrase "an organic expression of Christ" to describe our goal as a body of believers. In this post I will open up that term in an effort to define…

Something doesn't sit quite right with me. Hopefully this post will generate some healthy dialogue over this subject. I need that right now.
As the title suggests, what I'm talking about is a remnant in our day and time.
I've seen this before. So and so church thinks they have some corner on the truth that all the other churches have missed. They…
Simple Church is anything but simple
Posted on June 8, 2011 at 9:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Something I've learned since leaving institutional religion is that organic church life is even more complex than traditional forms. Why? Because everyone is expected to minister to one another and we can't hide behind programs and classes but have to actually get to know each other.
We can't rely on the paid guy to do all the teaching because he doesn't exist. We can't sit idle in our pew and "actively listen" the entire time we're together. First because there is no pew and second is… Continue

Biggest problems facing Simple Church

I do a lot of reading of folks involved in the simple church movement. As I travel along the path leads between institutionalism and isolationism I'm noticing some pitfalls on both sides of the road. In this post I want to deal with two of them.
On the institutionalism side there are several dangers I have noticed. First and foremost is the danger of using the New Testament as a blueprint to construct a "biblical" church. This is the same thing that institutions do. We see…

Jo Lynne Deaver left a comment for Loretta Rodrigues"Loretta,
Thanks for sharing. I have been a Christian since 1985. I guess that would be 27 years. About a year and a half ago I started questioning why I believed some of things I had been taught. In the last 6 months or so I also have read…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"I had hoped what I said made sense. Sometimes I don't articulate what I'm trying to communicate. Nothing is to be construed as to limit what the Holy Spirit can and will do since he is like the wind. It is not for us to always understand…"
Loretta Rodrigues left a comment for Jo Lynne Deaver"Hi Jo Lynne, Thanks for your warm welcome. I've been a Christian ( I was raised a catholic ) for the last 7-8 years and attended a NT (Pastor led) church for about a year. My husband is an unbeliever and rabidly so! He…"

Jo Lynne Deaver replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"Jonathon,
Thanks for your reply. You are an encouraging and confirming voice. What you said was very much needed. I too had been told in the past that a person could be "so heavenly minded you're no earthly good.' But that…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"To address your first paragraph: I, too, have been somewhat dismayed to see very little activity and interaction with this excellent medium. Kenny put a lot into this and it is a shame it isn't maximized.
Second paragraph: Simply: Be ready,…"
