What impressed me most about Colin's drumming was his ability to control a band and to take it to great heights. He knew how to change the mood, he knew how to hold it all together, he knew how to save the day, he knew how to wow, and he knew how to push the music to a great climax. In many senses he was music.
The most recent video publication of "The American Gospel" does, for the most part, a service to the Church and the Word of God. However, I take exception to the episode used to preach Reformed theology, as though it were the gospel truth. To my mind this is an error almost as large as the one the video series attempts to address.
Mark calls the Messiah "the Son of God". He quotes God as saying through Isaiah that He would send his messenger ahead of this Son of God and would tell His messenger to "make straight paths for him" (Mark 1:1-3).

Certain Charismatic ministers and their followers are teaching that God literally “cannot” heal unless we believe fully that He's going to do it, or even that He already has healed us. They say that to consider whether or not God wants to heal us is to ensure that the healing will not happen. I here lay out a selection of Scriptural evidence that this is a false teaching, and therefore that the proponents of this idea are either false teachers or should not be trusted to teach.
Why Israel? Why should a tiny nation with so much hostility towards it be the center of Biblical attention? The answer is that God chose the nation to provide the human half of the genealogical line to the Messiah. He chose the land as His own and put the two together.
