Last updated on: May 14, 2022 at 2:14 pm By Keith Giles

I’m seeing posts lately suggesting that it’s “heresy” to only follow Jesus. Like this one, for example: *[NOTE: Marcion was NOT the first “Red Letter Christian” because he only accepted one of the four Gospels and everything else was from Paul.] Seriously? If you believe Jesus was the incarnation of God in the flesh, how can it be heresy to only follow that One who is none other than GOD? So…what you’re saying is: It’s not enough to follow God....

INNER CIRCLE: What’s In Your Face?

Last updated on: May 10, 2022 at 7:25 pm By Keith Giles

Saying 5: Jesus said: “Know what is in front of your face and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you. For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest.” This saying might seem a little familiar to some of us

What if there was a child; a baby girl, and she’s born in a remote part of the world that is cut off from modern society. She doesn’t speak English. She can’t read any language. She has never experienced electricity or running water. She doesn’t know what indoor plumbing is and has never purchased anything from another person using money. Her world is primitive. Her days are filled with gathering food for her tribe, swimming in the nearby river, and... Read more

The Radical Jesus Manifesto

Last updated on: April 25, 2022 at 7:59 pm By Keith Giles

Imagine if someone arrived on the scene with a bold message that both threatened the very heart of the religious establishment and the authority of the Government, and inspired masses of people to question their submission to either of them. How might those two established powers – the Church and the State – respond to someone whose voice held such power over the hearts and minds of their citizens? Especially if that voice was gaining influence and if that figure... Read more

Why You Shouldn’t Buy The Good Friday Lie

Last updated on: April 14, 2022 at 7:45 pm By Keith Giles

Every Good Friday, Christian pastors stand in their pulpits and tell the biggest lie of the Christian faith. In their zeal to overstate the suffering of Jesus – as if being tortured and nailed to a cross for six hours isn’t bad enough – they will attempt to convince people in the pews that Jesus also experienced a spiritual separation from the Father and that, for the first time in all Eternity, the bond between Father and Son was severed....
