Passive in the Pew: Muzzled by the Church

In most modern institutional churches, there is no opportunity for the body of Christ to function. We’re not allowed to serve one another by using our spiritual gifts. Odds are, most of us don’t even know what our spiritual gifts are because we’ve never been given the chance to discover and use them. Instead, we have to sit passive in the pew or chair while we watch what’s going on up front and listen to one person’s opinions of something in the Bible.

This episode is from a video I did on the UnSunday Show YouTube channel. Here’s a link to the video:

What’s My Goal in Reading the Bible?

This question came up in a recent comment on my YouTube channel two things happened. 1) It took me by surprise because no one has ever asked me that before. And 2) It got me thinking, “What is my goal in reading the Bible? Do I have a goal? Should I have a goal?”

How to Study the Bible and Still Miss the Point

When we view the Bible as an academic textbook to be mastered, we end up missing the point entirely. That's what happened to me. I was trained to look at and look for, all the wrong things when reading or studying the Bible. Here's my story. Let me know if you can relate.

Let's take five and talk about how to have a Jesus-lite theology of the New Covenant where Jesus gets occasional, honorable mention but the real emphasis is on human performance and supposed progress.
