We are the church at the home of the Evely family in Wilmore, Kentucky (see Romans 16:5 and 1 Corinthians 16:19).While we have no active group meeting regularly, we are “the church” nonetheless.

Actually there is but one “Church” in our day — the invisible, indivisible “ekklesia” (from the Greek, meaning called-out-ones) also known in our day as the Body of Christ. Some from this Body might attend one of the many “churches of man” while others might never attend a church of man. But they are members of the invisible Body of Christ nonetheless — not because they “joined” anything or consented to a creed — but because God has assembled them into this single, invisible Body of Christ to serve HIS purpose! And this purpose is to demonstrate His grace and to play a part in bringing ALL of God’s creation into reconciliation and peace with Him.

ALL? Yes all!

   “God wills that all mankind be saved” (1 Timothy 2:4)

   “God is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will” (Ephesians 1:11).

   “And I, If I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me” (John 12:32).

   “As in Adam all are dying, thus also in Christ will all be made alive” (1 Cor 15:22).

We spent our entire lives within the traditional church, but “dropped out” when we realized that most teachings we had been indoctrinated with were based on the traditions and opinions of men, and not upon the Bible.

Consider that there are many churches of varying denominations that teach drastically different things … all claiming to teach directly from the Bible. How can this be?

The problem is that there is only one CHURCH (God’s invisible Church). There are many different visible churches of man’s creation, but they are not the real CHURCH. Instead of sowing seeds of truth as revealed by God, these man-made churches are often sowing seeds of confusion. Church membership, creeds, articles of religion, worship styles, evangelism programs … these are, for the most part, the schemes and ideas of men, and are not found within the Bible.

What about worship, you ask! Otis Sellers (1901-1992) said it well: “True worship is always a personal and individual matter which, while it may be done with a company of others, it will not be worship at all unless it is being done by the individual. True worship is heartfelt adoration of God because of Who He is, what He is, and what He does. It is never dependent upon place or ritual. It needs no established forms or ceremonies. Whenever, because of revealed truth, a heart responds with adoration and gratitude because of what God is or what He has done — that is worship.”

We do not claim to have all the answers, but we do challenge that which has been deemed “orthodox” by the traditional church. We encourage no one to believe our perspectives just because we believe them to be correct. Like the Bereans of old, listen to what we have to say … think for yourself … and study God’s Word to determine the truth that God has revealed.

A final word … Throughout the Bible we see that the majority was not correct. The prophets, Jesus, Paul … were all in the minority. The majority within the church may believe certain things to be true (i.e. “orthodoxy”), but this does not mean these things are in fact true! STUDY AND THINK FOR YOURSELF! Do not believe your pastor, your Bible teacher, your favorite author, your family members or your friends without studying and thinking for yourself.

Yours in Christ Jesus,
