Water & Spirit Ministries Reaches Out to Alienated Christians
September 27, 2007
Sep 27, 2007 -- /prbuzz/ --Nashville, TN, September 25, 2007 -- Water & Spirit Ministries launched a website, waterandspirit.org, to offer Bible study and fellowship services to Christians who have dropped out of church, but desire a relationship with God. The site features Bible-study resources, a prayer room, a media center, and discussion room to create community and facilitate exploration.

“We are committed to serving the growing number of Christian believers who feel alienated from organized religion,” said ministry founder, Robert Overton. “We offer a religion-free learning environment to aid the spiritual growth of our users.”
National religious trends show an increase in adult Bible reading since 1995, but this is accompanied by an increase in the number of Americans who have abandoned their affiliation with organized religion. Given current trends, most adult Americans will abandon organized religion within a few years.

Water & Spirit does not view this as entirely negative. Robert added, “Although we are challenged to develop new approaches to fellowship and communal relationship, the growing rejection of religion may signify a welcomed desire for personal spiritual growth.”

Religion is defined as the human effort to mediate God’s spiritual truth to man. Water & Spirit Ministries holds that spiritual truth is known only by revelation, not mediation; and the revelation of the understanding of this truth is by the Spirit. An effective ministry is one that supports the spiritual growth of those whom it serves.

“We’re here to facilitate and support the explorations of God’s word and the testimony of Christ,” explained Robert. “An open environment, free of doctrinal requirements, that allows one to study the Bible, exchange thoughts and interpretations, and freely contemplate and meditate promotes the spiritual development that learns to rely on revelations from the Spirit, rather than opinions of man.”

There are no teachers at waterandspirit.org, just fellow students of the word.
