This is the second excerpt from Milt Rodriguez’s book The Community Life of God. You can find the links to the other excerpts here. The main activity of the tabernacle is the bringing of offerings to God. The offering is a “present” or gift to God. The Bible tells us that the offerings are food […]

The Community Life of God
This enlightening book by Milt Rodriguez will change your life; it has become one of my favorites. This is a great resource for group study, being only 200 pages with short chapters. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. I plan on posting 2 or 3 excerpts…yes, it’s that good! Unfortunately, […]
The Vast New Covenant Transition
Authors George Davis and Michael Clark have a chapter in this book called Not Forsaking the Assembly, a phrase from Hebrews 10 which has been used disparagingly toward those who remove themselves from corporate church. I have posted a segment from that chapter below and it’s well worth the read. You can get a free […]
One Body in Christ
This is a beautiful and concise work from Kokichi Kurosaki (1886-1970). It’s interesting to hear his perspective of western religion’s departure from one loving community to the sectarian institution it has become. You can read this, and other works free, from the website awildernessvoice.com. Here is an excerpt below. This koinonia–living in fellowship with God […]
This work by George Davis and Michael Clark is very informative, easy to read and well worth the time. It’s only about 100 pages and can be downloaded free at awildernessvoice.com. How and why did words like church, apostle, deacon, bishop, priest, pastor, obey, submit and many others enter our vocabulary and distort the very […]
The Normal Christian Life
I included a couple of excerpts from Watchman Nee’s Christian classic book below. Although not specifically about house church it is highly recommended. When the Galilean boy brought his bread to the Lord, what did the Lord do with it? He broke it. God will always break what is offered to him. He breaks what […]
Finding Organic Church
What a great book filled with practical guidelines on how to start and sustain an Organic Church! This is in depth study of how churches were started and guided by the early apostles and why it’s necessary today to have apostles/itinerant workers laying the foundation and giving guidance for healthy church development. Below is an […]
The Pastor Has No Clothes!
God’s Spiritual House
This book by T. Austin-Sparks was published in 1942 and is a true inspirational work. Unlike many books on my Resources page, this work focuses on what the Church is spiritually. What, then, is this spiritual house? What is this Church? Let us not have an objective mentality about this, thinking of it as something […]
A Church Building Every 1/2 Mile
This excerpt is from the third section of Jon Zens’ book describing Four Tragic Shifts. This is the introduction to that section. Check out Jon’s website here. The church portrayed in the New Testament was a dynamic organism, a living body with many parts. The church from around A.D. 180 onwards became an increasingly hardened […]
