The Village
by Bill Cassada
In 2004, a film entitled "The Village," written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, was released into theaters across the country.  The film contained a story line that explored the dynamics of a small sequestered agrarian village and the aggregate fears of its inhabitants.  Categorized as a political allegory, and viewed by critics as a psychological thriller dressed up as a folk tale, the story of "The Village" provides a strangely metaphorical connection to the modern day church and its attendant "church service," the character of which is curiously similar to what M. Night Shyamalan created in his story. 

In his book "The Village," Bill compares today's institutional church to Shayamalan's Village. Is it possible that our churches, our revered and time-honored institutions, are nothing more than intellectually  fabricated temples, wrought from the mind of man, and like "The Village," hold us all in check by humanly-manufactured rules and rituals that came from the mind of man and not from God?

"...Following Shyamalan's story line to a "T," in churches today we have substituted yellow, the color of cowardice and the opposite of courage -- as our modern-day color-coded religious strategy.  Finding the real blood of Christ too powerful a substance to deal with, we substitute a man-made doctrine instead. We have replaced the life-giving red blood of Christ with the cowardly yellow color of seeker-sensitivity.  We have truly become gutless wonders who cannot face up to the truth that "the life is in the blood," and not in our intellectually conceived or humanly-fashioned golden calves..."

God Of The Heart...Church Of The Mind

God Of The Heart...Church Of The Mind
by Bill Cassada
In Matthew Chapter 18, Jesus said "...I will build My church, [Gk., ekklesia] and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it..." Jesus is busily assembling His saints together into a spiritual house, yet there are many well-meaning and good-intentioned Christians who are blindly following either their own or someone else's blueprint and building program. What is it that we don't understand about "I will build My Ekklesia?" Jesus gave no instructions to anyone to build it for him, although many have tried and are continuing to do so. Ekklesia is His project, not ours. No help is needed from us to build it -- "I will build My Ekklesia," He said.  He gave no direct instructions to anyone because He clearly intends to accomplish the task by Himself, and as such only that which He builds will stand.  In spite of these very clear instructions, however, over the chronological panorama of history, we have erected temples, mosques, chapels, cathedrals, assemblies, formed institutions, denominations, religions, clubs, societies, home groups, house churches, family worship centers, organic church, relational church, micro church, apostolic church, a...the list is virtually endless.  Unfortunately, just because we call something "church" does not necessarily make it the ekklesia of Jesus. 

If then, we see an anemic church in America that has clearly lost its footing, has succumbed to culture instead of changing it, and has become for the most part a laughing stock of weakness, fanaticism, legalism, and religiosity then is it possible that this man-made "church" is not the real "Church?" And if it is not, what then does the real church look like?  This book is a critical overview of the man-made corporate structure that we call "church," -- and in the last chapter, Bill describes, from a strictly Biblical point of view, exactly what the ekklesia should look like, and how it should function.

Originally published to our Email subscriber list in 2005, this series of 7 articles has been combined and edited into a printed format.

The Zadoks
An Emerging Last Days Priesthood
by Barbara Cassada
The Zadok Priesthood after the order of Melchizedek is not for the fainthearted, the timid, the lukewarm, or those concerned with the cares of this life.  It is for the passionate warrior whose only desire is to fellowship with Jesus in the Holy of Holies.  They are the ones who will press beyond the Outer Court, beyond the Holy Place, and enter fully into communion in the Holy of Holies.  This booklet speaks to the transformation that occurs when one yields themselves fully to the work of the Holy Spirit, the promises of God that accompany that yieldedness, and the wonder of walking in a realm that only few have ever tasted.  A global metamorphosis is taking place as God transforms the religious church into His Last Days Army.  This booklet describes in detail the characteristics of that Army.

The Tabernacle Of Moses
A Revelation Of God's Plan For Mankind
From Salvation To Glory

by Barbara Cassada
Most of us know The Tabernacle of Moses from the Sunday school felt-board lessons of our youth, as an ancient historic structure, built in the Sinai desert long, long ago, and today having little or no relevance to our daily Christian life.  On the contrary, this physical structure, its plans given to Moses directly from heaven itself, is an Old Testament physical representation of a New Testament spiritual reality.  The steps of progression through the stages of the original tabernacle, from the Outer Court to the Holy of Holies parallel our spiritual development as we learn to abide with Him, to dwell with Him, and to never leave His Presence no matter where the cloud takes us on this wilderness journey.

Can Woman Teach?
A Study In 1 Timothy 2:12
by Barbara Cassada
An Excerpted Chapter from Barbara's latest  book,
Woman, Remove Thy Veil!

If women are not to teach, have they, over the years, been violating God's Word as they taught Bible studies, schools, wrote books, expounded on God's Holy Book, and in other ways exhorted people to follow after Christ?  What does this Scripture really mean?  If women are not permitted to teach, then why would God anoint them to do so?  Are women only to teach in the nursery? -- or -- Is it God's design that their anointing and authority contribute integrally to the spiritual growth of the church? What was the Apostle Paul really saying to young Timothy?  This booklet examines this most controversial question.
