A Nonchurchgoer's Guide to Jesus and His Kingdom

Introduction to This Blog

Brief Overview

Repent, and follow Jesus Christ our Lord!

I write this blog to draw attention to the Lord Jesus Christ, our need to repent in His sight, and the wonders of having a personal relationship with Him.  That’s it in nutshell.  For more explanation on any of these three subjects, you can read, respectively, the pages 1)  Jesus Christ Is God, 2) We Must Repent!, or 3) God Wants a Loving Relationship with You - or all three for a broad elaboration.

Another summary, one page in length, would be True Christianity.

I write this blog for your edification.  I have nothing for you to join, donate to, or buy.  What you do with the information you read on this blog is strictly between you and God.  My fondest hope for this blog is that it will contribute to your coming to fully know the depth of His love and commitment to all of us.  Beyond that, I hope you’ll forget about me and this blog…but never forget Him.

Comprehensive Overview

To receive an even fuller view of the summary above, you can read any or all of the following 17 posts.  I wrote them with this purpose in mind, and I have listed them below.  (Parenthetically, I have shown the category into which each post falls – Jesus Christ, Repentance, or Relationship with God.)  Each post is self-contained, and does not take long to read.  You can read them selectively, and you can read them in any order.  Together they constitute a comprehensive overview of the message of this blog.

    I saw your post on the WH website. I’m not sure if you ever attended WH church but it really does focus on Jesus and is not organized christianity in any way which is why I love it. I think relationships were very important to Jesus and very important in our walk with Jesus.
    As far as everyone goes to Heaven; I didn’t have time to read all of this yet, so I’m not sure if you touched on this, but Ddoes hell not exist then? The bible does have references to Hell also, so I was curious what your thoughts were on that.

    Jill,

    Yes, hell exists on this earth in this life. When Jesus spoke of hell, He was speaking of judgment for our sins. The Greek word for this state is “Gehenna.” I cover this in the book The Biblical Case for Everyone Going to Heaven.

    I agree that relationships are very important.  They start with God, and then extend to our families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and so on.  The kingdom of God means loving God and seeking the best for others at all times and in all places.  This is what is meant by Practicing the Presence of Christ.
