Too many churches have become geared to be "Seeker Friendly"; those were his words. They know that the move of the Spirit can be contriversial so they stay away from such things. They say it's more important to keep them there and get them saved then to scare them off. They set aside "other" special meetings were they allow the Spirit to work.<BR/><BR/>But they are taking away the most important aspect of evangalizm; signs and wonders. They've asked the Holy Spirit to stand to the side while "they" take care of salvation; the excact time the Holy Spirit needs to be there. And they wonder why the salvation experience is so dry and lifeless. The've boxed up the Holy Spirit and take him out to perform at "their" whim and not His.<BR/>When are pastors going to let the Spirit control their services instead of themselves. It's no wonder that when they "occasionally" attempt to move in the Spirit, it's usually as contrived and lifeless as the salvation (alter-call) experience; because the Spirit is no longer present after all. <BR/><BR/>Just my opinion...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
