Insights


In early March 2008 after reading a manuscript of Jon’s book, I was amazed at how my viewpoint of Western Christianity radically changed.  Like many other believers, my heart and mind had disengaged from the “traditional church” years ago.  However, Jon’s perceptive analysis really opened my eyes!  Now I cannot pass a “Christian church structure” without a tremendously expanded personal revelation, the repercussions of which are absolutely enormous. 
 
Simply stated, instead of warring against our “true enemy,” we as practicing Christians are constantly battling “each other.” And while involved in this deeply embedded traditional practice, we continue to ignore Jesus’ dire warning, “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall” (Luke 11:17).
 
This  can  not be resolved by playing the institutionalized tone,  but can only be resolved by serious pursuit of truth, and spirit Led by each individual. .., A relationship with God alone as sets the priority of order in a pursuit for  more in depth  meaning fullness.  I agree whole heartily a lot of it 's become dysfunctional , as the spiritual representation  of truth and being spirit led   been largely ineffective in the west due the mergence of  various forms of  philosophy ,   in dealing with the various crisis of our time. nw
