Thank you. We now return you to the regularly scheduled program.
If this bothers you, take the Blue pill . . . everything will be just fine.

Part 2; Markers on the Reformation Road

Disciple others to follow Jesus, not a denominational/doctrinal package.

Defining Points of Ekklesia:
Ekklesia (The "Church") We don't "go to church" or "do church"; We are the Church! Core to the definition are the following:

Romans 12; 1st Cor. chapters 12 ~ 14; Ephesians 4:11~13 & Hebrews 10:19~25. Followers of Jesus exist not as consumers but as servants and ministers. How the “serving and ministering” play out may be subtle and variable. Reformational paradigms of “home” church/simple church, marketplace ministry and apostolic/prophetic are shifting! “Resting on ones laurels” will not carry the day.

Complete, utter dependency on Holy Spirit (ala John 3:8) will inspire followers to say “Come and see” . . . and then point to Jesus who says “Pick up your cross and follow”.
