Reformed people risk discovering to our shock that we love books more we love God or the world. http://ow.ly/2MMTH # Charismatics pursue a vibrant relationship with God, but doctrine may be weak at best, and frankly heretical at worst http://ow.ly/2MMUV # For all the emotion, & power, many charismatics do not have a deep root to help them stand when life gets really tough http://ow.ly/2MMWu # Many charismatic congregations feel like an intimate family that any unbeliever would struggle to...

Bringing warmth to a fathers heart

Last updated on: October 5, 2010 at 6:18 pm By Adrian Warnock

One of my children came downstairs, after being in their room for ages yesterday, with the following list of verses. They had obviously spent a long time going thru a bible looking at highlighted verses and choosing, as they put it, their “favorite ones”. I think its a pretty good list, actually, and I am grateful for the grace of God at work in this dear child of mine despite all their father’s failings and imperfections. Nothing that I could...

What makes Terry Virgo tick? Relational, evangelistically relevant churches http://ow.ly/2O6V4 # Evangelism can become halfhearted at best if we conclude that God can save the unbeliever without our help if he so wills http://ow.ly/2MMSF # Reformed people rightly emphasize doctrine, but do we seek a relationship with a book rather than a person? http://ow.ly/2MMFB # RT @Tomjunlee I feel like I'm one of th few people in Australia with a reformed & charismatic label within Christianity.// U R Not alone!...

Rick Warren at Desiring God 2010 – The Battle for your mind

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 10:12 am By Adrian Warnock

Rick Warren’s talk at the Desiring God 2010 National Conference Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God conference follows below. Not surprisingly in some reformed circles online the recriminations continue. People wonder why Piper would invite Warren. But I very much enjoyed this talk. Warren is no lightweight. It is easy to dismiss his talks as lacking theological substance, but to those who’s ears are open, they will realize there is much depth to them. He has... Read more

What makes Terry Virgo tick? Relational, evangelistically relevant churches

Last updated on: June 22, 2020 at 2:11 pm By Adrian Warnock

Terry Virgo has posted the first of a series of videos looking at the seventeen values that have helped to shape his ministry over the years. They are expressed as what kind of churches he has been trying to plant and establish. The goal is therefore that a Newfrontiers church will reflect each of these values. The first value is: ‘A gospel-preaching church that is loving, righteous in its lifestyle, involved in world mission and reaching the unsaved in its... Read more

I believe passionately in bringing together 3 often separate strands: Charismatic, Reformed & Missional. RT if you agree http://ow.ly/2MMxZ # Christians were never meant to be locked in defeat and condemnation in our personal lives: expect to be transformed! http://ow.ly/2MMOj # Churches should value the Bible, believe God is sovereign, worship passionately, eagerly seek the gifts, & be missional http://ow.ly/2MMBH # Prayer mustn't be mere formalism, as God upholds the universe, we MUST wrestle in the quiet place for his...

Faith and Feelings Part Ten – Conversion is typically an emotional experience

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 11:05 pm By Adrian Warnock

Spurgeon argued yesterday that often feelings come before faith, (having previously denied it!). In today’s quote after carefully reminding us that not every conversion is a “typical” one he goes on to tell us how he feels the typical conversion occurs: Some men have the light of God; but they cannot tell when the light first came to them. Let none of you imagine that you are not converted because you do not know the hour when it occurred; otherwise,... Read more
