Bible Note: Thanks again! I saw Josh McDowell at a Young Life weekend retreat in 1972 (when he and I were a lot younger)... he was a major influence in my decision for Christ. I still have my original "Evidence" that I got that weekend, and have worn it out. I also have the "More Evidence" book, and have used it likewise. While we're on book reviews, one that is current that I highly recommend is "The New Reformation" by Greg Ogden (Head of the DMin program at Fuller seminary). The thesis is this: now is the time for the completion of the Reformation started by Martin Luther... "all Christians are gifted, empowered and called to ministry by the Holy Spirit". I believe this book could be the foreward to a real reawakening as churches take this message to heart. I am well aware this has been said many times before, but having seen real change through the Holy Spirit in my own church in the past few years, I am very encouraged (you have to understand I am in a PCUSA Presbyterian church... not exactly the first denomination that comes to mind when you think of Holy Spirt fired churches). Yet our church is on fire and really seeing fruit, primarily based on Ogden's New Reformation concept (which isn't really new... just Biblical principals applied in the current setting). Anyway, if you haven't seen it, check it out... its really good stuff! Cheers, Curt |
