Re: Addicted to Experience
I have enclosed this from a book I am currently reading "They Drank from the River and Died in the Wilderness" - David Ravenhill
"We are content to pursue an experience rather than the God behind the experience.
We crave the anointing while forgetting that God's anointing does not automatically result in holiness or true spirituality.
The problem is we seek exposure before people rather than hiddenness before God. We settle for the "charisma" of the moment over the "character" of a displaced walk in in the Spirit.
Charisma will only take us only so far. It is character that will carry us all the way to the finish line."
