This week is a celebration of thanksgiving. We have been doing this Belonging House adventure for nineteen years. There are some amazing things about this story, and how so many of the things that I did in the beginning became part of our DNA and part of our life together. We began praying in tongues together for fifteen minutes in my living room in Akron, Ohio. We celebrated holy communion together daily. We sat and listened to God together. We ate together. And all of this happened before we "formed" an organization.

How do you respond to Jesus? Our desire is to respond with a Kingdom grid.   The Father is always calling, always wooing. And there is a promise in scripture that very few people understand: If you draw near to me I will draw near to You.   A lot of people think that scripture says: If I repent hard enough, do the right stuff and serve God until he approves then I will have permission to come close but God may or may not be interested.   Jesus said, Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. For my yoke is...

Belonging House Fellowship

God calls some people to do things that do not make sense to the conventional order to push the direction. And honestly, if you look at history the people God choose are either a bit crazy or deeply broken. God chooses the people who are in desperate situations because they are desperate for God.   Christ John Otto leads Belonging House International, a fellowship called to raise up an army of artists who will build Jesus a throne in the earth.

The Kingdom of God is a symbolic kingdom.

Symbols are God’s primary language.

This is why 

if you focus too much on the Bible as a written word

And this is why

Christianity has produced so much visual art,

and why this art is full of language and messages

that we can read.
