What
is Ekklesia?
The
Greek word Ekklesia is
what has been rendered church in English. Ek-Klesia is actually two Greek words. Ek which means; "out
from"
or "away
from"
and klesia
which means
“the
called.”. So
the English word Church should read the "Out-called of the called."
We
will now attempt to make sense of the word "Ekklesia." The call of the salvation of Christ goes
out to all, and of those who hear Christ’s call and gather together
these are what we would term “the klesia” or the called. But
from “the klesia”
there are those who sell out for God, and become Christ’s disciples,
these are called “the ek-klesia” or The out-called of the called.
What is the
Purpose of this Website?
First I need to say that this website
has not been created to try to appeal to a particular denomination
or those of a particular segment of experience. If you love Jesus and are actively
seeking to go beyond your present
veiled level of experience to a deeper more fulfilling relationship
with Christ then we are of like spirit.
I firmly believe that
God and the Holy Spirit speak in some measure to all who are saved.
So we have at times felt things, we have at times sensed things,
but we have not necessarily known that God has been speaking and
guiding us. When we would have sought help from a preacher or
teacher we have in time realized in some measure that what they
speak not from a personal knowledge of God but instead speak from
the stale corn of other people books,
tapes, and notes.
Many of us have at times sensed that
something is wrong in the church but because of deficiencies in
our knowledge of scripture, deficiencies in our walk with God,
deficiencies in our being able to hear the voice of God, and the
fear of man we have suppressed or put aside these things, yet
in our hearts these nudges of the Holy Spirit keep coming back
time and again.
I am nobody, and my
words are only words. It is not my purpose to persuade you to
believe a certain viewpoint. Recently I have discovered something
quite unexpected in speaking with people of born-again and Spirit-filled
backgrounds; that what I have spoken and written has confirmed
things that people from both ends of the spiritual spectrum have
known and heard themselves of God for years. Things that they
may have questioned their pastor or elders about when they were
first saved -- that subsueqently were explained away that either
God no longer does that, or the church no longer does that, or
we just don't believe like that today -- and yet with these sweeping
explanations these things we have known never really go away --
for the Holy Spirit still speaks to men.
In this website we
hope to confirm some of those things that God has shown you that
are wrong with the "Church." We also hope also to confirm
what you have already seen and heard of Him that God still speaks
to men, and confers upon those that love Him and are obedient
His tokens of His affection -- true gifts and true ministry.
As
we grow in the grace and knowledge of Him each aspect of our life
should grow and become of such a quality that the revelation and
impartation of the “Word that proceedeth,”
that which we hear and receive, will find both expression and
fulfillment through us -- the Word becoming flesh (in
us), a personal reality in our
life experience, that can be "seen" and “handled”
by those who are around us. That we might be a light to those
who dwell in this dark generation. Not so much by what we say,
but that the light of life from our relationship with Christ would
be made manifest.
