Are we watering down the gospel?

Benjamin Corey confronts our vision of Jesus head-on, asking the hard question: Is what we see and hear in the modern church all there is to the message of Jesus… or is there a more radical side to Jesus than we have been led to believe?

Get ready to encounter a Jesus that is determined to turn over the tables of a stale, ineffective and boring gospel that seeks to escape from the world instead of transforming it.

This radical Jesus and His message…

  • Invites us to reorient our lives not on Christian religion, but on the person of Jesus
  • Calls us to live out faith in the context of authentic community with others, instead of isolation
  • Includes the excluded and invites the outcast to have a seat at the table
  • Responds to enemies with a radical, unexplainable love

Undiluted will invite you to step out of your comfort zone and into a process of rediscovering the radical, counter cultural, and life-changing message of Jesus. As you do, you’ll discover a more vibrant faith as you embrace an undiluted Jesus and His radical message!

What are you reading?

Ben Morrison is reading “The Pursuit if God” by Tozer.

” I’ve actually read this book a few times before and get a lot out of it each time.  The book is about pursuing God with your whole heart and life: moving from knowledge about God and into daily realized experience walking with God. It doesn’t try to focus too carefull on doctrine, and in that way can at times be on the “mystical” / experiential side.

But I tend to be more stoic with devotions, prayer and worship. So I find the book to be both stretching and inspiring in the way he writes about having awe of God, the seriousness in following God, worshipping God, and having passion and desire to be close to God in daily experience. 

Right now I believe God is using this book to speak to me about a few things that are slowing me down spiritually. Specifically, the self-importance that I can feel about my job during the day and the self-reliance I can have when making decisions. I’ve been talking to Sasha about these things and we’ve been praying together about. I’m trying to lean further into God throughout the day: praying, reading, thinking about God. Trying to add fuel to the spiritual fire.”
