Let us begin with a very important fact. The goal of the site is not to criticize traditional or institutional churches. Yes, some of the articles make comparisons and some of the writers do strongly question traditional practices. However, those of us...
We have over one hundred articles available on our site, so if you are a new visitor, you may be overwhelmed. Where should you start? 
Some call them house churches. Some call them organic churches. Some
call them simple churches. We prefer to just call them churches. They
are rapidly multiplying, simple communities of believers, meeting in
homes, offices, campuses, wherever God is...
You are church before you do church. This is one of
the fueling insights of the missional church movement. This isn't a new
idea...but it is pretty provocative, especially when one considers its
implications. If we take Jesus at his word when he say...
Organic Church. I've been using this term for around
fifteen years now. Today it's become somewhat of a clay word, being
molded and shaped to mean a variety of different things by a variety of
different people.

Today, I read these encouraging thoughts that a friend of mine wrote. I agree wholeheartedly. What a difference it makes when our focus is truly Jesus.
From the fullness of his grace, we have all received one blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:16-17 (NIV) John was much more mature than me. Know you’re all surprised to hear that. I’m afraid I love the New Testament. I know in my head that the law of Moses (Old Testament) is a blessing, but who would settle for law when grace and truth are available? And most of what I’ve been taught in evangelical churches over the years has been from Paul’s letters, which are amazing. No disrespect intended for any part of the bible. But more and more I’m drawn to the gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Have you READ these things lately?! The Jesus written about there is like nothing and nobody the world had ever seen, or seen since. He changes everything, me included………
