The word church, meaning a building or religious organization, was deliberately used in the KJV instead of the word assembly, the literal translation for the Greek word ekklessia, to validate the organized church system and its authority figures. The word "church" is a maliciously translated word that has never meant anything close to the Greek word it is supposed to translate. The church is a whore, a harlot system that claims to be the bride of Christ spoken of in scripture. It is based on the traditions of men. Jesus said man made traditions "stop the word of God" and they have. The church is Christ usurping and God slandering. It robs people of the life and freedom Jesus died to give them.

Here is a list of just some of the differences between The Assembly, the true body and bride of Christ, and The Church, the religious system that masquerades itself as the will & way of God.

• The Assembly is a people--the people of God; The Church is a Thing--church institutions and systems.
• The Assembly is a living organism; The Church is characterized by organizations, institutions, and systems.
• The Assembly consists of people who have been born into it; The Church consists of people who have joined it or been voted into it.
• The Assembly is a people who are called by the name of Jesus; The Church is a people who are called by many different names that represent divisions within this church system: Baptist, Catholic, Charismatic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, and all the rest.
• The Assembly is Jesus-centered; The Church is self-centered.
• The Assembly is living by the Spirit; The Church is living after the flesh.
• The Assembly is heavenly; The Church is earthly.
• The Assembly is grace; The Church is law.
• The Assembly is life; The Church is death.
• The Assembly is being; The Church is doing.
• The Assembly is rest; The Church is works.
• The Assembly is light; The Church is darkness.
• The Assembly is humility; The Church is full of pride, arrogance, and haughtiness.
• The Assembly is liberty in Christ; The Church is bondage to the flesh.
• The Assembly is the Kingdom of God; The Church is the kingdoms of men.
• The Assembly has Jesus Christ as her head; The Church has elected or ordained men as their heads.
• The Assembly is a Spirit-led people; The Church is led by rules and regulations of man's own making.
• The Assembly is Spirit-sensitive; The Church is man-pleasing.
• The Assembly is obedience to the Holy Spirit; The Church is busy church work.
• The Assembly accomplishes things in Holy Spirit power (Zech. 4:6); The Church tries to accomplish things in self-strength.
• The Assembly has its authority in the Word of God; The Church places its authority in man-made doctrines.
• The Assembly is one body in Christ Jesus as Lord; The Church is sectarian and divisive, consisting of many divisions of people.
• The Assembly worships in spirit and in truth; The Church programs praise.
• The Assembly preaches Christ and Him crucified; The Church proclaims denominations, doctrines, heritage, traditions, creeds, personal views and opinions.
• The Assembly is the priesthood of all children of God; The Church is the clergy system. The clergy are those who want to make a difference between themselves and others.
• The Assembly answers to God as the highest authority; The Church answers to men and their institutions as the authority.
• The Assembly calls forth revelation; The Church depends upon imagination.
• The Assembly conforms people into the image of Jesus; The Church conforms people into its own image.
• The Assembly decreases that Christ may increase; The Church increases itself in power, position, riches, and domination.
• The Assembly counts the cost; The Church counts the money.
• The Assembly lays down its life; The Church preserves and protects itself.
• The Assembly waits upon God to raise up what God wants in His timing; The Church schemes, organizes, and promotes to execute its own plan in its own way and time.
• The Assembly seeks the Lord with a whole heart to be possessed by Him; The Church goes after things and people to possess them.
• The Assembly is the city of God; The Church seeks to build a city, a tower, and a name for itself. Gen. 11:4.
• The Assembly longs to be gathered into Jesus; The Church passionately seeks to gather people unto itself.

• When God loves you and you know it you will love Him back. We can't love without Him loving us first. The burden is on Him. We only need to recognize His love. His love is so wonderful that reciprocation is natural and not forced. Love for Him just happens you don't have to try.
• Those who think you can lose your salvation essentially believe that our obedience is more powerful than the obedience and blood of Christ. That is both sad and absurd.
   
  
• Which is better news?
  I have to remember the miserable things I've done and recite them in prayer to God to gain His forgiveness and fellowship.
  OR
  I don't have to focus on my failures at all. God has already forgiven me and He never breaks fellowship with me.
   
  
• God's grace cannot be stopped in this generation. No longer do Christians have to rely on church institutions and seminaries who have been blinding & binding the masses by teaching their false yet traditional interpretations of scripture .
  
  Jesus Himself said in Mark 7:13 that the traditions of men stop, nullify, cancel, make void, invalidate, destroy, make of no effect, reject, and set aside the word of God, scripture, the cross of Jesus, & Jesus Himself. They don't just invalidate the scriptures but they set aside Jesus, the Word of God, thus removing Him from focus.
  
  People have the resources to learn for themselves & truth is more available than ever, just waiting to be read, watched, or downloaded.

• Love gives and faith takes!
• You cannot be tempted with what you do not think or consider.
• Responsibility teaching and preaching does not have the ability to produce true joy in us, but condemns us to that old miserable life apart from Christ.

• God doesn't hate any of His children. God does not count anything you do against you (2 Corinthians 5:19). He loves you as much as He loves Jesus (John 15:9, 17:23). God wants to deliver you. When you feel like the beaten up man on the side of the road realize that Jesus is the good Samaritan  who takes care of you exclusively at His expense.
• Stop trying and stop thinking you must "do something for Jesus." You are the weak one and He is the strong one. Let Him do for you. Jesus came to serve us because He loves us. Learn of what He has already done for you, ask Him to show it to you and don't be afraid of Him. He will never put you to shame (Romans 10:11, Romans 9:33, 1 Peter 2:6, Isaiah 28:16).
• Scripture makes a clear distinction between our spirit and our flesh. God identifies us by the spirit which cannot sin. If we walk by the spirit we will do no harmful act. In this life I still have body and an unrenewed mind that can produce "sinful" actions. As Paul said in Romans 7:17 "It is not I that sins but sin living in me that sins." Christians can as Romans 6:13 says, "offer themselves to sin" or they can "present themselves to God." 2 Corinthians 5:19 says, "God counts nothing we do against us." In that is the true freedom from sin. I'm not talking about perfectly loving behavior 100% of the time. I'm talking about who God has made us by our rebirth.
• "Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you will honor me" (Psalm 50:15).
  • We honor God by asking Him for help. Jesus came to serve. If we let Him serve that means we trust Him and thus we honor Him.
• Why Mix Grace with Law?
  • Grace brings freedom and draws people to it. Law is a means of control. Advertise grace for salvation then obligate people to laws for everyday living and you will have an army of followers. This is yet another reason why Jesus spoke against having leaders (Matthew 23, Luke 22).

• A Christian asking for "more of God" is like a man sitting in front of the feast refusing to eat. God has already provided everything. He has already fully given us Himself. Reach for Him. He is already there.
• Children, listen to your parents & obey them in all things, because this pleases the Lord. Parents don’t aggravate or embitter your children or they will become discouraged & lose hope. (Colossians 3:20-21, My Paraphrase)
• Children, listen to your parents attentively & obey them in the Lord positively. This is the right thing to do. Respect & value your father & mother. If you do God promises you will live a good, long life. Parents, do not make your children angry or irritated, but nurture them in the same way God nurtures you, helping them grow. Take care of them like you take care of yourself. Encourage & correct them by using words. Teach them like the Lord teaches you. (Ephesians 6:1-4, My Paraphrase)

• Faith is not believing that God can or will but that He has.
• Faith is not something you do to gain a response from God. Faith is your positive response to what God has already provided by grace. Faith only receives what God has already given. You don't wait for God. God waits for you to trust and respond positively. Faith does not make God move. Faith believes that God has already moved. It takes what is reality in the spiritual realm and draws it into the physical realm.
• Faith does not make God move. God is not stuck. God isn't the one who needs to move.
• Believe and receive or doubt and do without.

• We only grow in God to the degree that we trust his love for us.
• It is not the fear of losing God's love that will keep you on His path but the simple joy of living in His love everyday.
• They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
  • To wait means "bind together with twisting." That means you hang onto Him like a child would.

• Good News Flash:  Life isn't about you loving God. Life is about God loving you.
• The blood of Christ willingly shed for our sins out of love for us forgives our sins. Trusting Jesus and what He did for us gets us into heaven and better yet allows us to know God starting here on earth.
• It is God's kindness that leads us to change our minds for the better.
• All guilt a Christian feels is false guilt or mislabeled as guilt (it is actually compassion or empathy for others). God does not count anything you do against you (2 Corinthians 5:19).
• Most spiritual falsehoods aren't spread by intentional manipulators but by confident people who are deceived. Good intentions don't stop the destructive power of falsehood.
• Many Christians who give advice are doing so out of fear. They are afraid that if you don't do things a certain way it will lead you to all sorts of problems. Don't be afraid. God loves you and He will guide you. Trust Him, put your security in Him.
• Many people are more afraid of sin than they are confident in God. Sin has no power over us (Romans 6:14). If you think it does you will live like it does. If you know it doesn't life is wonderful.

• Whatever we believe about love, we believe about God. -Darin Hufford
• God is never in competition with your love for people! -Darin Hufford
• When you truly love someone unconditionally that flame of love inside your heart is God. -Darin Hufford
• So many people who claim to know God are miserable. They have been told that God values us as servants and that He relates to us as a general relates to a soldier. “Relationship” for them is not about enjoying life together but following orders. It’s a monologue rather than a dialogue.
• The love of God is an undiscovered country. It’s an adventure tailor-made by Him just for you. Paul said the love of Christ surpasses knowledge (Eph 3:19). His love is so great it’s not reducible to rules or books. It’s easier to say what the love of God isn’t like, as Paul does in 1 Corinthians 13. God is not proud, rude or self-seeking. He is not easily provoked and He thinks no evil of you. In short, God is nothing like the evil picture painted by religion. But when it comes to discovering the fullness of what God is like, well that’s the Great Adventure of Life!
• Losing faith in your perceptions is not the same as losing faith in God.
