It’s good to have Jeff back in the mix as we talk all things summer, do a Hewitt, TX cookie review, and discuss the famous story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10. The story of Martha and Mary is often seen as one about personality types or how to behave when Jesus shows up to your home. But the story is one about living by the Law or living by the Gospel.

In Part 6 of a series on the charismatic world, Collin explores what he saw attracting himself and many others into charismatic churches and what made it (almost) impossible to leave. If so many people agreed with Collin's concerns, why was no one doing anything about it or leaving?

What does the charismatic world teach about the Holy Spirit? What kind of things go on that are attributed to the Holy Spirit? In this episode, Collin pulls back the curtain on what he saw and experienced regarding the Holy Spirit in his church experiences. Collin addresses and analyzes things like miracles, hearing God, tongues, and prophecy and the overall focus of the charismatic world.

Is Christianity all about you and your love for Jesus or Him and His love for us? In this episode, Collin shares his experience in the charismatic world and the predominate focus of that world. While Jesus was always talked about, somehow the ultimate focus seemed to always be about on Christians and our faithfulness, rather than Jesus and His faithfulness. This amounted to a crushing charismatic-moralism.

A key criteria to examine any church is determining how the Bible is viewed and handled. In this episode, Collin discusses the major issue he had with the charismatic world he was a part of about 10 years ago: how the Bible was handled. More often than not, the Bible was handled quickly and loosely, implying everything being taught and practiced was supported by the Bible. So, while it seemed like the Bible was the driving, shaping force in the church in all teaching and preaching, it was being sidelined.
