Welcome
The Freedom Church Network is dedicated to supporting Free Christians and Free Churches. As mainstream Christianity breaks free of the institutions that established it, and evolves into the living, breathing, and active body of Christ, the Freedom Church Network seeks to provide resources and networking opportunities for all those who walk with Christ in faith and life. Because our only incorporation is the body of Christ, whether you are an unaffiliated Christian believer sharing the gospel on an individual basis, or you are working for change in a denominational setting, we hope you will join us , strengthen us, encourage us, and walk with us as we all pursue our walks with the one true God and eternal life, Jesus Christ.

To 501(c)(3) or Not To 501(c)(3)
Posted by Stephen Simons on May 11, 2010 at 12:14pm 20 Comments 1 Like
Are churches 501(c)(3) non-profits? Should they be? Do they have to be? Is there any other way that they can be recognized by the state? What is a "church" anyway? What legal entity, if any, is the best form for a church to take? Does it violate the church as the living body of Christ, to be embodied/incorporated under the state?
I am not yet ready to propose an answer to any of these questions. But I have begun collecting research on what various people have…

Pastors - Employees or Business Owners?
Posted by Stephen Simons on November 2, 2009 at 8:32am 5 Comments 1 Like
In the traditional model of denominational Christianity, following in the footsteps of the universal Catholic church that preceded it, the leaders/teachers/pastors in the body of Christ are supported in their work by receiving compensation as employees of their organizations. This is based on the pattern of Jesus sending out the seventy disciples to share the good news:
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him…Continue
Followers of Christ - Disciples or Subordinates?
Posted by Stephen Simons on November 25, 2009 at 1:14am 2 Comments 1 Like
There are two types of followers: disciples and subordinates. The Freedom Church model is dependent on leaders who empower their followers as disciples, not those who would command and control their followers as subordinates.
Jesus said, "...don't you be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers. Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ." (… Continue

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

In the book of Revelation, John warns believers of a coming threat to Christianity, which He describes as
"MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." - Revelation 17:5
He describes her as "The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth." But what exactly is he warning us of? Rather than… Continue

Plants as a correspondence for spiritual growth
Posted by Tom Andrews on March 21, 2010 at 5:30pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Ethan preached this morning about plants (it's the first day of spring, of course) and how their stages of growth correspond to regeneration. I found myself thinking about my challenges as a plant grower. (Anything to avoid thinking about my own spritual growth !!) Do all the pests that I contend with in trying to get my fruit trees to grow correspond to temptations of various sorts? If so, what sorts? What do the Writings have to say about this, if anything? Ethan noted the passages dealing… Continue
When is Intelligence Artificial?
Posted by Donald Brandis on March 23, 2010 at 10:59pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Another Ishmael/Isaac story is Speilberg's film "Artificial Intelligence" (2001). The conflict here is between natural humans and 'artificial' humans or robots, a classic human vs machine story. Though distorted by Speilberg's Peter Pan fixation, the story like many says more than it knows. The little boy robot David, lovingly created by the human robot maker played by Wm Hurt - like the doll-maker in Pinochio, which this story is an acknowledged reworking of - is shown to be more human than…
