A divided church cannot reveal an undivided Christ.

Maybe this is why God keeps bringing us back to the heart.

Not performance.
Not image.
Not religious polish.

Wholeness.

“Blessed are the pure in heart” means blessed are the undivided.

I think God is gathering the scattered places in His people so we can finally carry His heart without misrepresenting His nature.

Being a church that beholds the Lord means recognizing He is the central actor in our story. When you witness God's power moving through and around you, humility comes naturally. You can't help but acknowledge, 'I couldn't do this.'

I don’t think “taking the Lord’s name in vain” was ever mainly about saying the wrong word.

I think it is about carrying His name while misrepresenting His nature.

That feels weighty to me.

Because the world has heard a lot of people use God’s name.

But have they seen His nature?

Have they seen His kindness?
His patience?
His mercy?
His holiness?
His love that tells the truth without needing to shame?
His power that heals instead of controls?

To bear His name is to reveal what He is actually like.

And I wonder if one of the greatest things God is restoring right now is not just right language about Him, but a people who look like Him.

A people whose words do not wound.
A people whose thoughts are not full of accusation.
A people whose presence makes others feel invited into life, not pushed further into hiding.

Because maybe the question is not only, “Do we believe in Jesus?”

Maybe the question is, “Are we bearing His name in a way that reveals His heart?”

I would love to hear your thoughts.

What does it mean to you to bear His name rightly?

What if Pentecost was never meant to be remembered as a moment?

What if Pentecost was always meant to become a people?

A people filled with His Spirit.

A people who carry His presence.

A people who bear His name without misrepresenting His nature.

A people through whom the world can see what God is really like.

There are people all over the nation who know there has to be more than powerless religion.

More than services without presence.
More than theology without fire.
More than prayer without communion.
More than community without covenant.
More than a Gospel that stops at forgiveness but never awakens us to union.

This week’s Substack post is based on Chris Berglund’s Pentecost teaching, The Highway to Zion: The Ascent of the Soul, with reflections from me on what it means for Pentecost to become a people.

I believe many are hungry for the real Gospel—the announcement that Christ has not remained at a distance, but has come all the way into the human story, gathered us into Himself, and made His home in us.

And when this Gospel breaks open in a people, it carries power.

The fire of God does not come to destroy the person He loves.

It comes to burn away the places where fear, accusation, striving, and self-protection have distorted what He already made new.

The fire is not against you.

It is for the Christ in you to be seen clearly.

05/26/2026

I wonder if many of us have been trying to fix what God is actually trying to gather.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

Chris reminded us Sunday that pure means undivided.

That word has been sitting with me.

Because maybe the issue is not that we need another identity. Maybe the issue is that our souls have been living scattered between too many stories.

The story of who Christ says we are.
The story accusation tells us.
The story fear tells us.
The story religion tells us.
The story our wounds keep repeating.

But the fire of God does not come to destroy the person He loves.

It comes to gather the divided places back into union.

I believe God is purifying His people right now, but not in the way many of us were taught to think about purity. Not through shame. Not through fear. Not through striving to become acceptable.

He is making us whole.

He is forming an undivided people who can carry His name without misrepresenting His nature.

And I think this matters right now because a divided church cannot reveal an undivided Christ.

So I’m asking this honestly:

Where do you sense God gathering the divided places in you right now?

For so much of my life, I understood the Gospel as deeply personal — and it is.

Christ forgives.
Christ heals.
Christ restores.
Christ makes us alive.

But I am becoming more convinced that if we only understand the Gospel at the level of personal forgiveness, we have not yet seen the full scope of what Jesus accomplished.

The cross is not only the place where our sins were forgiven. It is the place where the rulers and authorities were disarmed. It is the public triumph of Christ over every accusing, enslaving, distorting power that has held humanity and the nations captive.

Paul says in Colossians 2 that Jesus canceled the record of debt that stood against us, nailing it to the cross. And then he says Christ “disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.”

That means the Gospel is not a small story.

It is not merely about getting individuals forgiven so they can one day leave the earth for heaven. It is the announcement that Jesus Christ has triumphed, that the powers have been exposed and defeated, that the nations are being gathered back into the Son, and that creation itself is groaning for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God.

This changes how we see our lives.

We are not just living inside political systems, economic systems, family systems, or personal histories. Those things are real, but they are not ultimate. We are living inside the victory of Christ, and God has chosen to display His manifold wisdom through a people who know who He is and who they are in Him.

This is why remembering matters.

When we forget the places where God met us, when we bury the words He spoke because they became painful to carry, when disappointment begins to interpret our story, we begin to live smaller than the Gospel we have received.

But the accuser does not get to interpret our lives.

Delay does not get to define what God said.

The cross is cosmic victory.

And the resurrection is still God’s declaration over every grave.

05/21/2026

Let's remember what God has done. He asks us to see our memories, interpretations, and even shame through His eyes. Step back and witness the beautiful, woven garment He is forming in our lives. In surrender, we find clarity and our place in His plan.
