❓¿Christianity?❓

 I was thinking today about how most of the things that Christians do… aren’t the things that Jesus did.

And I say that not in bitterness, but in clarity. I believe in Jesus. I trust Him. I follow Him. But I no longer call myself a Christian—not because I’m ashamed of Christ, but because I’m trying to honor Him more fully. The label has become something that doesn’t always reflect the life He lived or the heart He revealed.

One of the clearest pictures of Jesus—one that always brings me back to who He truly is—is the story of the woman caught in adultery. They caught her in the very act, and dragged her, most likely naked and terrified, into public shame. According to the law, she was supposed to die.

But what did Jesus do?

He knelt down. He wrote in the dirt. He stayed quiet. And when He spoke, His words cut deeper than any stone ever could:

“Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone.”

One by one, the accusers left. And when they were gone, He looked at her and said:

“Woman, where are your accusers? … Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.”

That’s Jesus. The image of God.
 Sovereign. Gracious. Merciful. Slow to anger. Abundant in love. Faithful.

That’s not religion. That’s restoration.

It reminds me of Isaiah 11, where the character of Christ was prophesied long before He ever arrived in the flesh:

“He will not judge by what He sees with His eyes
 or decide by what He hears with His ears.
 But with righteousness He will judge…”

He doesn’t judge by appearances. He doesn’t reprove based on rumors. He doesn’t condemn people because they’re caught in something messy. He discerns with righteousness and sees what’s deeper. He sees the whole story.

So when I see people who claim His name, but spend their energy judging what they see and correcting what they hear… I know something’s off. That’s not the Spirit He walked in.

The true test of the Spirit isn’t how much Scripture you can quote or how “holy” you look. It’s whether you reflect the mercy, the discernment, and the love of Christ.

So yeah…
 ¿Christianity?

I’m sure that’s not what He came to start.
 I think He came to start life.
 And maybe it’s time we let go of the label,
 and returned to the Lamb.

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - יַעֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...

New Book "Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth" Illuminates God’s Timeless Process of Creation and Personal Transformation Author Kyeme Chacon Reveals a Powerful, Faith-Building Journey Through the Genesis Creation Narrative In a world filled with uncertainty and change, author Kyeme Chacon invites readers into the steady, sovereign rhythm of God’s creation process in his new book, Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth .
