Nuggets from Occult Invasion

For many, Christianity has become “signs and wonders,” or “falling under the power,” or laughing uncontrollably. Others offer a Christianity which is designed to appeal to the worldly minded and to be inoffensive to sinners, including church services and “Christian” TV that outglitz Hollywood, or the excitement of 50,000 men cheering Jesus in a football stadium. For others it’s the quest for self-esteem and a “positive self-image,” probing the unconscious for past abuses that excuse present unbelief and carnality; or quietly carrying on a conversation with an imaginary “visualized Jesus.” We do not need a “revival” of that kind of Christianity. It is the proclamation of the gospel and sound doctrine which alone can counteract the growing apostasy, not signs and wonders.
