"The Pastor Has No Clothes"

“The Pastor has No Clothes!”

A Modern Allegory

By David Ryser

Nothing is more dangerous than blind people who are certain they see clearly. (Fil Anderson)

If your house church is interested in being a part of a larger network of faith, we'd love to invite you guys to check out - http://undergroundfamily.ning.com -- its a great way to share resources/ideas/events, etc. But either way - we're family! :)

Tell me more about your dreams/hopes for your house church. What drew you to plant one?

My wife and I are part of an organic church centered in Elgin and it's always cool to stumble across others in the area who are a part of the simple church movement. If you're interested, check out our website at www.cityonahillcommunity.com. God bless!

My wife and I are recovering from a serious bout she had with breast cancer and I am in the "lay it all down" season of life where God wants to heal me from my years of soul wounds that shaped so much of my performance mentality. I am meeting with two apostolic men who are walking with me through my detox as I also encourage one of my coaches whose wife is battling pancreatic cancer as we speak. I hear you loud and clear. Once God gives the green light, and defines what His plans are for us moving forward then I will be an obedient son. Let's stay in touch. Love, Paul
