My desire is to see the church awaken to the simple truth of the gospel: that we are the church! For about two weeks.
More than a Building exists to awaken the body of Christ to the reality of what Christ in us means: that we are the church! So long as we live afraid and beaten by sin and temptation we'll be trapped, constantly needing ministry. But once we start to see the reality of salvation we won't just find freedom, we'll find the strength to bring freedom to others. All of this comes from growing in consta
nt fellowship with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I was 13 when God first revealed His grace to me, and although I had been raised in the church that was the moment which drew me in. By this time in my life I was struggling with a po*******hy addiction and serious self righteousness and depression. But the day I was baptized a miraculous change took place and all my issues were gone! And then for three more years I lived a life of hypocrisy and fear, dancing to every tune the Devil played. Until August of 2016 when God once more got a hold of me and I started running after Him. For four more months I lived in the Devil's chokehold, trying desperately to shake it until one night in December when I encountered the Glory of God in such a tangible way that I couldn't even think. Through this night God led me into the truth of Salvation: that Christ paid to own me, and not just rescue me. I am not my own because I have been made anew. As that truth sank in I joyfully declared to an empty room exactly whose I was, and that no one else had a right to my life because Jesus owns it. Since then I've been growing in fellowship with God and I haven't stopped moving forward.
