Kevin is a down-to-earth, practical Christian. He has spent much of his life in the institutional church, serving in any way he could. Throughout his life, he always struggled with the way that church authority was expressed, and how much of a big deal people made of titles and degrees. Kevin believes that true, nonforced relationships are the key to being the Church that Jesus created, and he emphasizes that by being an amazing friend himself. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com Here are more thoughts I have on purpose and some Biblical things that God has required of us. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=55421&view=post&blogid=4756 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400 This is a question that we have all asked ourselves. What is my purpose? Here are some of my thoughts on this subject. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54928&view=post&blogid=4756 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400 The topic of the devil has been something that has been on my mind for some time now. We constanlty here teachings about the power that satan,the devil,the deceiver or whatever else we want to call him. This is my viewpont. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54098&view=post&blogid=4756 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0400 Many times our past keeps us in bondage. It’s not until we let go our past that we truly can move forward and make our journey easier. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=53426&view=post&blogid=4756 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0400 I came across a saying that St. Frances supposedly wrote. I'm not even sure who St.Frances was but he was quoted saying “Preach the Gospel, if necessary use words.” This quote is short but strong and is a big part of being the Church. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=52205&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0400 As we all know Thanksgiving starts the Christmas season. It is a time to reflect back at the year to give thanks for what we have. It’s also a time that we choose to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior and end the year off with resolutions for the upcoming year. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=52034&view=post&blogid=4756 Fri, 5 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0400 I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine about how my life has changed from now compared to where I was 5 yrs ago. I’m not talking about the normal changes that come with life. I’m talking about the changes with my life with Christ. I sometimes struggle with not having that spiritual feeling. I actually started to question how spiritual I was. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=50981&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400 This September 11th was the 7th Anniversary of the Twin Towers attack. Here are some of my thoughts when remembering that day. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=49497&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400 This story was sent to me through email. It reminded me how people can be. Sometimes people come to us with problems and if it doesn’t concern us directly we say things like "I’ll pray for you" or "have faith my brother". We never think that it will affect us. This story reminded me that we should never ignore anyone’s cry for help, especially as the Church. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=48779&view=post&blogid=4756 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400 I like the fact that Jesus spoke in parables. He spoke in parable to help us understand things a little better. In Matthew 25 He gave a few different parables. For me these parables gave us some good things to go by to be "The Church”. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=48334&view=post&blogid=4756 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 Almost all of us are guilty of it. The old saying “God knows my heart”. Although this is so true we sometimes tend to forget everything that is in our heart. Examining our heart is something we should all be doing while trying to be the Church because God does. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=47831&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 What is the real Church? This has been the biggest topic of discussion in not only my Christian life but my life in general. This experience has consumed me so much that I had to take a step back for a moment so that I don’t lose perspective of the meaning and purpose of “Being the Church”. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=47631&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 3 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 Words that we use out of anger can definitely cause some serious scars. Here is something that was sent to me on an email that some of us may have already read. I felt it in my heart to comment on this issue that I have struggled with a time or two. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=47388&view=post&blogid=4756 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400 As a follow up to the “Transformers” article here are some more of my thoughts on always being under construction and a few things that may hinder that construction. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=47134&view=post&blogid=4756 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400 When we think about ‘Transformers’ some of us think about the cartoon and movie about the cars that turn into robots. Well at least I do. I guess that was part of my childhood memories. But what does being a ‘Transformer’ have to do with helping us grow spiritually and know the “Will of God”? Here are my thoughts. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=46947&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400 No, I'm not going anywhere. I just want to really say "Thank You" to the whole unplugged group and to all who have been there through the struggles. All of you have really been important in my life and I wanted all of you to know how much I appreciate you. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=46765&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 5 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400 In our group discussions on worship and my own studies I concluded what worship was to me. Here are my thoughts on true worship. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=46526&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400 Sometimes procrastination is one of my biggest problems especially in my Christianity. Here I talk about my struggle with it and my desire to overcome it. http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=46355&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400 What is a friend?

Why do we need the commercial church? Why do we need to go to a place instead of being a people? http://www.unpluggedchurch.com/apps/articles/?articleid=45695&view=post&blogid=4756 Thu, 1 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400
