Dear reader, we are in a, or the, age of deception, in which Jesus Christ is being mis-represented, mis-quoted, diminished, maligned, and impersonated. We need to look to the the Scriptures to see what Jesus is really like, what he really said, what he really did and what he really will do. We also need to heed his warnings about our time, and to not go the way of those who put the words of deceietful man and docrtines of demons above the words of our Lord.
A large number of Christians are dependent on feelings as a measure of their walk with the Lord. If they have warm, fuzzy, tingly feelings, or if they're losing control of their bodies, they think the Holy Spirit must be present. The corollary, then, is that if they're not losing control, and if they don't have those feelings, the Lord is not there. This, dear readers, is not the fulfilment of faith: it's the opposite of faith.
I'm no expert on the subject of love, but I've been around for a while, and from my experience and perspective, passive love-the kind you feel inside-isn't of much use at all. If you can't show it or do it or speak it, with warmth and sincerity, it isn't love at all. Don't kid yourself that you're a loving person if you don't act it out: you aren't.
A common defense of the modern expression of speaking in tongues in Christian circles is commonly defended, with the insistence that God's power and "Holy Spirit" power was not limited to the first century.
"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). So said Jesus Christ. But what does it mean to worship in spirit and in truth? What does it entail?
