Christian Restoration Associates (CRA) exists to help Christians recognize some perceived oversights and limitations of contemporary Christianity and to understand individually and collectively what we can do to cultivate and manifest a more profound witness of the Uniqueness and Profundity of the Way, the Truth, and the Life of Jesus Christ. 

Blessings, Robert Benedict and staff

How: CRA sends out a periodic e-newsletter on topics of interest to those seeking God's Will and Way, Highest and Best.

Every topic pertains to some perceived limitations and oversights of contemporary Christianity which are apparent to many and not so obvious to many others. We hope to encourage prayerful thought and discussion about the topics, desiring that the Spirit of God would illuminate the reader and lead them to a deeper understanding and Witness of the Uniqueness of Christianity. The Witness is the Great Commandment of Love and the evidence of the Fruit of the Spirit. This is evidence of the True Freedom that Christ offers in Galatians 5:1 which says, "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."

Christianity is truly Unique. The Uniqueness includes but is not limited to:

  • Inspiring the Way, the Truth and the Life of Jesus Christ
  • Recognizing that not only was Jesus Christ a prophet and a teacher, He demonstrated the full spectrum of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit
  • Knowing that in God we live and move and have our being
  • Knowing the manifest presence of the Spirit of Christ within which is our hope of glory
  • Knowing God's still, small Voice
  • Obeying God's still small Voice
  • Thriving in the manifest Fruit of the Spirit
  • Serving in the manifest Gifts of the Spirit
  • Knowing that Salvation is merely a profound beginning and that, by way of Sanctification, it is possible to manifest an even greater anointing of God's Spirit as Christ is being formed in us
  • Knowing the profound power of prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names
  • Discerning that which is not consistent with God's Highest and Best
  • Distinguishing between The Tree of Life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil
  • Discerning that which may be well intended but is merely a cosmetic attempt to achieve Godly objectives by fleshly means
  • Cultivating the Character and Image and Likeness of the Way, the Truth and the Life of Jesus Christ
  • Harvesting the Fruit of the Spirit and not religious nuts

Why: We Encourage Restoration

Please consider joining us as we share what we perceive to be many subtle life-changing insights.

We will encourage a higher standard of Restoration and what we perceive to be the conspicuous witness of the blessings of Christianity. Initially, we will use newsletters, articles, blogs, and dialogue. In time we may include discussion boards classes and workshops. We will be adding supplemental articles of interest by other authors and listing each e-newsletter and article in our archive which will be indexed by date and title. This should give you a rich treasure of information to encourage you on your journey.

Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

The intent of CRA is:
>NOT to demean other religious perspectives but to share the rationale for a better way; 
>NOT to insist but to proclaim what is perceived to be a more excellent way;
>NOT to convince but to reveal the perceived Truth and allow the Spirit of God to convict the hearts and >minds of those who are receptive;
>NOT to force feed but to share
>NOT to intimidate but to encourage;
>NOT to coerce but to invite;
>NOT to argue but to dialogue;
>NOT to divide but to unite.
