It's an v interesting concept - how to read the Bible charismatically - but I am more troubled by Mark's insight and suggestion that charismatics seem taken up with the OT prophets while evangelicals are taken up with the Cross. Its true - to an extent - but still troubles me.<BR/><BR/>It troubles me that charismatics may therefore have a tendancy to ignore or abandon the Cross while evangelicals are abandoning and ignoring promises from the OT like "The Latter Rain ... will be greater than the former". <BR/><BR/>I don't think Newfrontiers ignore the Cross. After all the recent Brighton Leaders Conference worship CD was titled "The Power of the Cross"!!<BR/><BR/>But an interesting concept all the same ...Dan Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661120561123767936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1147490949960202242006-05-13T04:29:00.000+01:002006-05-13T04:29:00.000+01:00RE "is there a charismatic way to read the Bible?"...RE "is there a charismatic way to read the Bible?" I'm thinking about that.<BR/><BR/>I have a Holy Spirit Bible edited by Jack Hayford and containing many small articles by a variety of well-known writers/pastors on matters relating to the Spirit. And in the overview of each book of the Bible, Hayford includes discussion of the Spirit's role/appearance in the book. I've never seen another Bible focus so much on the role of the Spirit.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436503359863046095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1147189755003764112006-05-09T16:49:00.000+01:002006-05-09T16:49:00.000+01:00I really enjoyed the link to Hugh's website.

It is vital that his words are heard still today because his view of the Church and of God is profoundly still advanced for today I think.<BR/><BR/>And great to see that Charles Simpson's son left a message! Wow. I would have to join you in wanting to go to THE Library!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a great set of links.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1147178766790606422006-05-09T13:46:00.000+01:002006-05-09T13:46:00.000+01:00Oops sorry - I meant to put that comment under the...Oops sorry - I meant to put that comment under the Baxter article on the Holy Spirit ... my mistake!

It is amazing that the Charismatic Renewal is hardly over ... yet we have already forgotten Him. Neglected Him. Grieved Him.

Good stuff! IT is so true, its so easy to gear ones life around conferences especially if you can get to good ones like Brighton! Yet we cannot take it for granted. I mean ... NFI stopped Stoneleigh!! Who's to say that they won't stop Brighton if God said!?!? Oops ... will I be stoned for that?! Well lets pray not ... but what if they did!? The whole object has got to be - are we encountering God tehre? And if we are ... are we taking that experience home to fire our passion and desire and longing for more of God in our day-to-day existence.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that reminder!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1147124972555340042006-05-08T22:49:00.000+01:002006-05-08T22:49:00.000+01:00I love the Castle Sands article.

It is as though the sleeping giant that is the Church is slowly waking up to realise that nothing will happen without us getting on our knees. Thank you too for sharing from the Prayer Meeting at Brighton ... sounds like heaven!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1147108909859958202006-05-08T18:21:00.000+01:002006-05-08T18:21:00.000+01:00I'm glad that there are a growing number of blogs ...I'm glad that there are a growing number of blogs that note the bizarre inconsistency with the T4G Statement.

I've been so consumed by work and family this week that the germ world has had to fend for itself (doesn't need my help, y'know).<BR/><BR/>Many thanks, Dan; I value your friendship greatly, as well, and especially your pointing us to revival while also championing -- dare I say it? -- "sound doctrine." Many times I heard CJ say variations of your quote: going to a meeting or conference has no *direct* bearing on the progress of our spirituality. No matter what goosebumps we get, great notes we scribble, or powerful "whomps" the Spirit of God hits us with, what matters is how we work with God's grace to *change* once we come back down the mountain, and deal with friends, family, coworkers, etc.<BR/><BR/>Blessings!Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436503359863046095noreply@blogger.com
