While we have a whole lot of Christian institution in the West, the actual life of Christ is not seen very much. On the other hand, it is in the East where Christ followers are reproducing at a rapid pace while they have little or any “Church Institution” at all. It’s easy to live and push a system. It’s quite a bit harder to live a transformed life from the inside out. It’s that very life we all want, but we have to surrender our control and systems to get it. Agree!

Indeed it is. While I find it very easy to get confirmation from believers everywhere that this is true and that on a conceptual level they agree, it is often harder to find believers who can articulate what a real, transformed life is or what it looks like. I don't know that I'm an expert here, but what have found is that we spend so much time focused on Jesus the Savior and Jesus the King that we often overlook Jesus the Rabbi (teacher). Most of Jesus teaching to the Galileans was about the look and action of the transformed life. The life that is light in darkness. The life that is free from bondage. The life that is able to see the cosmos the way the teacher sees the cosmos. “It’s about living a real, transformed life…” Indeed it is.
