Christianity Without Fear
Living the Life More Abundant
I AM come that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it more abundantly.
(John 10:10, KJV)
This site is devoted to sharing a living Christianity shaped not by fear, but by the promise of the life more abundant (John 10:10, KJV). It unfolds through a growing body of reflective series rooted in the key sayings and invitations of the Master Jesus—teachings that reveal the Christian Principles to Live By, explore the core wisdom at the heart of his message, open the deeper meaning of prayer, and draw us into the living reality of I AM the Way. These reflections are offered as gentle companions along that way, creating space for a faith grounded in love rather than fear, clarity rather than control, and an awakened response to the Divine already at work within and among us. This is an exploration of Christianity Without Fear, lived from within and shaped by encounter rather than anxiety or belief under threat..
FEATURED SERIES
Christian Principles to Live By
Discover a way of life shaped by the actual invitations Jesus gave to those who wished to follow him — not only in belief, but in how life is lived. These principles are offered not as ideals to strive toward, but as a coherent journey that re-orients attention from fear into trust, from effort into Presence, and into LIFE as it is received and embodied.
Core Invitations of the Master
Explore a way of faith that continues when inherited answers no longer hold. These invitations arise from the Master’s own instructions and ask not for better beliefs, but for a deeper shift in how faith is lived. Here, attention moves beyond thought and striving into stillness and trust, allowing belief to give way to faith lived from Presence, and LIFE received more abundantly.
I AM the Way the Truth the Life
Open to the living invitation at the heart of Jesus’ words. To follow the Way he reveals is to discover a life shaped not only by belief, but by a growing intimacy with God within. As trust deepens and attention grows still, the truth he points to is recognised as the Presence that gives LIFE more abundant.
SELECTED WRITINGS
What does it mean to deny yourself biblically
When many people encounter Jesus’ words—“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself…”—it is not at all clear that they grasp the radical nature of what is being asked of them. This is not a call to temporary restraint or religious self-discipline, such as abstaining from certain activities for a season. The deeper and more fundamental invitation is hidden in plain sight within a single word: yourself.
What Does Allegory Mean in the Bible
To read the Bible allegorically is to read it as a living text that reveals inner, spiritual meaning—not only describing events that happened long ago, but unveiling truths meant to awaken and transform the one who reads. In early Christianity, allegorical interpretation was understood as essential because Scripture was seen as a vehicle of revelation, not merely information.
I AM the Way the Truth and Life Explained
Many Christians have read and heard the words “I AM the Way” for most of their lives, yet familiarity often conceals their depth. The phrase is usually received as reassurance or guidance, something that offers direction or certainty in matters of faith. Read this way, the meaning appears straightforward: Jesus is the one who shows us how to reach God. But the words themselves say something far more radical, and they invite a deeper understanding.
