And, again, it was way too sensational for me. For the record, my husband is in agreement. He also said it reminded him of the magic hair issue, and that we can't allow people to rely on noise when they are seeking something from God. For one thing, it usually has short term effects - his words.
Okay.

Hi PO, like most things in life I am a day late. God is in the shout & many times he is not, sometimes God is in the quiet move of God & many times it is just shallow dead Church!
I love emotion, God's attributes of Love & his Peace touch me in my emotions, but I told my Pastor recently that I fear for this upcoming generation of, "entertain me, "excite me," "keep me occupied" & have very "
shallow roots!"
These people, when the hard times of trial & testing come, & they will come, these people who are just in the emotional phase will be shaken in their faith.
Many times, we as a Church body are not always quick to share our wisdom & experience with new converts especially young people, we may have better retention of our new converts!
Your husband has good wisdom!
Don't get me going on fog machines, spot lights & disco balls!
