Harsh words... but is there truth within?

Excerpts from Paul Vieira's journey and his book, Jesus Has Left the Building: In Search of Authentic Christianity

Jesus did not start a religion or an organization. He lived a lifestyle in the context of community and mission

Unfortunately, many of our churches can not be described this way [organic]. They have been injected with synthetic material, man-made toxic compounds of the carnal nature.

When God speaks to us about the future, the container is as important as the content. There needs to be a new container for the new wine He desires to give us.

While Jesus was with His disciples for three years, they literally stopped engaging in many of their older ways. The religious people around them, steeped in tradition, were constantly criticizing them for not keeping the rules. Some of these activities were even biblical and as important as fasting.

I wanted to know why we did all that we did and that it was the heart of God and not just tradition. I sought God for revelation as to how He wants things done in the days we live in.

As you could see the Father in the face of Jesus, so will the world see Jesus in the face of His followers. God’s glory is to be seen in the ones incarnating Jesus.
