God Wants More... but Christians Believe He Doesn't

God Wants More... but Christians Believe He Doesn't "I’m spiritual, but not religious." We hear it everywhere, but is this common phrase actually biblical? In this exposition, I am holding a physical Roman Denarius—the same type of coin mentioned by Jesus—to explain the "Ancient Binding" that modern tradition has largely discarded. If you have felt like your faith is just a "feeling" without a "foundation," this video is for you. We are moving past the modern fog to look at the Greek and Hebrew roots of what it actually means to be bound to the King. The Most High is not looking for a casual "relationship" based on your emotions; He is looking for a structural alignment with His Reality. In this video, we are exploring: Why the "Spiritual but not Religious" movement is a historical and structural fallacy. The literal meaning of the Latin Religare and how it applies to your daily walk. The reveal of the Roman Denarius and what it taught the Apostles about allegiance. How to "rehumanize" your faith by embracing the structure God intended for His people.
