I liked it a lot that you try to look good at it, but also lay scripture beside it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-9960281514936301792016-09-12T23:23:15.417-05:002016-09-12T23:23:15.417-05:00Gotta agree with you!

I'm afraid that the knowledge of the power of Jesus that so infused the Church at its inception has faded throughout the centuries, until we are left with only the vaguest idea of what that looks like. So man's imagination creates his own image of God, and his own definition of "spirituality", leaving him vulnerable to false gods and false power. The danger for the Church, at this time, is moving too far from the rigid, man-made doctrines which have left so many unfulfilled, to an all-ecompassing, "any spiritual encounter will do" mentality. As the Body of Christ, it's almost as if we need to re-introduce the Jesus and God of the Bible, in their true supernatural glory, to not only the unsaved of the world, but to the Church, itself. We need to see with spiritual eyes and hear the Holy Spirit's instruction through holy ears.... it's all right there in the Bible, just waiting to be discovered.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-83346590484838864132016-09-12T19:25:59.807-05:002016-09-12T19:25:59.807-05:00What is most compelling to me in your research is ...What is most compelling to me in your research is that many of these came out of the church UNFULLFILLED. This has to be laid at the feet of the church leadership who had the greatest "supernatural" book in their hand and yet somehow failed to transfer any of that information to the youth in any meaningful way. The church needs to own this one! There is so much captivating and cool stuff in the Bible and yet we cover the same singular concept over and over. The "salvation message alone will only grab a certain percentage of believers as a stand alone doctrine. I believe it is so droned into the church youth they finally say enough! What they are really looking for is a spiritual encounter with real power, and boy is Satan willing to serve that one up on a plate for all who want to dine at his table. The current trend of lucid dreaming and astral traveling and all the bells and whistles the "new age " is offering all come with some form of physically experienced "power". Hey Church your "cessationist" doctrines are sealing the fate of your own children's theological thinking! Parents you better take the Helm of leadership for children because the Emerging,ecumenical,prosperity,seeker friendly,calvinist crapola aint cutting it! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
