There is a specific purpose why the Bible uses the image of Christ being the Head of His Body. No single member in the body was ever designed with the purpose of translating what it thinks the Head is trying to say to the rest of the body. Each member of the body was created with a nerve directly connecting it to the Head. Jesus said that He Himself would build HIS church.
In today’s church world there is an illegal system of control that elevates certain people who are supposedly ”called into ministry” above other “normal” believers, resulting in the distinction between two classes of Christians: Those who get to minister (the “called” and “anointed” ones) and those who need to be ministered to (“normal” believers).
The Reformers did well in opposing the religious doctrines of the dark ages, but sadly passed the Roman Catholic division between clergy and laity straight into the Protestant movement. The gospel of righteousness through faith was almost fully restored as a result of the sacrifices of these people, resulting in the restoration of the revelation that every person could minister as a priest unto God. But unfortunately not every person could be trusted to minister as a priest unto other people. This privilege was reserved for a special breed of Christian, a phenomenon which is still practiced by the largest portion of the Body of Christ today.
People think that as long as they preach the correct message, then the system in which they preach doesn’t actually matter. The truth is however that our faith is shaped by the way we receive the gospel: if you tell a lion in a cage that he is free, then you might have a happy lion… but he is still stuck in a cage.
Well we are here to speak out against this illegal system of control: “LET GOD’S PEOPLE GO!!”
If you are someone who has contemplated leaving your local church in search of a more pure expression of your faith, rest assured: You are not alone! There are millions of Christians leaving the contemporary church scene every year and this site will help you to start putting perspective behind the doubts you may have had about the way the modern day church functions.
Browse through our resources, have some laughs at Pastor Abdul and Pastor Saddam’s efforts to manage and stay in control of their local churches and join the millions of people who have taken the scary, bold, death defying leap out into the wide open spaces of God’s kingdom… AWAY from institutionalized, structured religion.
Freedom!
