It is my deep ingrained belief that the Christianity that we practice today is amiss.
We are missing the large portions of power which was demonstrated in the days of the Apostles.
Character and perseverance and love, passion and sacrifice are but a far cry from what we had.
Divine revelation and the move of God being led by the Spirit is so far removed and replaced by an intellectual understanding.
We are so far away from being able to discern what God is doing, what is on His heart, the sound of His voice and partnership with His work.
The desperate are not healed, the hurting not comforted, the weak not strengthened in faith.
The very experience of the manifest presence - the weight of His glory is not even a priority to be restored.
Purity, passion and power have been replaced by biblical understanding and orthodoxy.
Are we pursuing a greater love for Christ that translates into good abiding fruit of character or a greater love to improve our own understanding and knowledge?
Where is the power to transform sinners and usher them into the very presence and glory and character and love for Christ? Where is the power of conviction to turn a sinner from His ways into the love of Christ? Where is the revolution of life and the world that occurred in the days of old?
