The Question that Changed My Life

By David Ryser

A number of years ago, I had the privilege of teaching at a school of ministry.  My students were hungry for God, and I was constantly searching for ways to challenge them to fall more in love with Jesus and to become voices for revival in the Church.  I came across a quote attributed most often to Rev. Sam Pascoe.  It is a short version of the history of Christianity, and it goes like this:  Christianity started in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise.

If and when that precept is agreed to, a formal treaty between the US and Israel will be drafted and implemented, but not necessarily ratified, and by 2012-2013 (?) the treaty will no longer be honored.

It is time to get one’s house in order, or I have completely misread the signs of the time.

To our visitors who did not receive the following in their email:

A few questions we would like for you to consider and perhaps share your thoughts and ideas on:

Are you tired of rehashing the same old religious stuff over and over again and never coming to a definitive conclusion? Would you like to move past that swamp?

Do you have an insight into the word and/or Spirit of God that seems to be frequently overlooked or even discounted?

Do you have a “minority” view that needs to be shared and tested objectively against the word of God, rather than against a church tradition (religious dogma)?

Are you fed up with right/wrong games, such as my doctrine (church) is better than your doctrine (church)?

Are you looking for teaching that goes “behind the veil” and explores the deeper things of God? Knowing that what we might discover will continue to be incomplete and in need of further study? The adventure of discovery!

How do you handle what you perceive as errors made by religious leaders and teachers? What do you recommend?
