I have been musing a lot about this in my head recently. Certainly there is no conculsive opinion on this…I not looking for a certain brand or expression of Christianity – but I’m wanting to pursue AUTHENTICITY in my Church expression – it makes a big difference to a lot of people – and will probably make a difference to many in the future. I think the main ELEMENTS of autheticity are:
- A relentless pursuit of listening to the Holy Spirit – and speaking out what He says/instructs. Interestingly Jesus and the Father, through the Holy Spirit, don’t just speak – they instruct – so they need to be followed.
- A Christ centered focus. Well this may be a no brainer – but what it REALLY means is zero man – 100% Jesus. Zero manifestation of man’s opinion, domination, control, love of money – 100% pure Jesus.
- A pursuit of prayer, worship, intercession, evangelism
