Here at unfilteredword.com, we are dedicated to inviting people around the world to join in the conversation about the God of the Bible. We stand in support of who God says He is, revealing Himself through the Bible and His Holy Spirit. We stand for freedom from the dictates of religious authority, exploring how to serve God according to His word and how to serve others. We encourage diverse voices of faith to use critical thinking in understanding the One true God of Israel (YHVH), putting into everyday practice what He expects of His people. Our small staff represents multiethnic diversity and different points of view unified through faith and the art of gracious discussion.
Some of us believe we are saved and there is nothing new to discover or discuss. We attend church and tithe and transact within corporate Christianity as the surety of our once-saved-always-saved salvation. We may feel that re-examining our own spiritual condition is unnecessary. We may avoid the challenge of thinking for ourselves. However, there are some of us who are asking questions and searching for scriptural answers and taking our spiritual temperature to see if it’s lukewarm. In today’s changing and confusing world of sin-lies and choice, some Christians are asking if what they know about salvation is completely wrong. Could it be that corporate Christianity is now a cold religion of doctrines and mission statements, stale route and routine? For many, a personal relationship with Jesus is really a personal relationship with a pastor or priest or church members. Where is that burning relationship with God that will change the heart, change the mind, and change the entire direction of one’s life? This little book explores God’s ancient ways still contemporaneous for solving today’s problems and bringing us to salvation.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit will use the words of others to show us things we may have missed. Get involved in a fellowship that values an equal partnership between members. If you can’t find one, then start one. If you are already in a loving, encouraging fellowship but you’re not actively participating, then start participating! You can participate by just asking questions. Hold both yourself and fellowship members accountable for scriptural accuracy and tolerant sharing.
Ephesians 6:18 – 19
“With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel….”
