i detest how there are holy spirit "fans" who just go to events to see some cool miracles. I am annoyed at people who change churches or fellowships just because they see that another fellowship has more "miracles". And it seems i'm not the only one...
"Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe"
John 4:48
"Oh unbelieving generation, how long shall I stay with you? how long shall I put up with you?"
Mark 9:26
“This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah."
Luke 11:29
The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it.”
Mark 8:11-12
jesus gets mad a few more times in the gospels for people being so consumed for a miraculous sign that they lose sight of the real sign- Jesus Christ himself.
please stop this fraudulent charismatic culture- it gives the conservative side of the church good grounds for accusations on why charismatic christianity is unfounded and based on emotions.
and conservative church, you're not safe either. I just have no energy to be mad at you too.
All of this would be solved if people would stop having pride and both sides were able to keep eachother accountable in their weaknesses and compliment eachother with their strengths. Unfortunately, that requires humility, which is something hard to find these days.

hi daniel-- this is becky from church. i hope you dont mind that i came across your online writings. you have some good points here. division in the church sucks a lot because it robs the Lord of having his Church be able to walk in love and prayer. i find also in myself that arguement tends to grow a self-righteous heart and capp true discernment from the Holy Spirit. my friend sent me this quote the other day that goes "God gave us discernment not to criticize but to intercede." hehe, very convicting for me. I am at a place now where i'm content to say "i know nothing God, i'm just gonna keep my eyes on Jesus" and that's sufficient for me personally even though it pains me to see children of God dwell in pain and misconceptions of God which makes me want to scream. now i know screaming in prayer is much more effective than screaming at people.. :) let me leave you with a verse, James 1:20 (NASB) "For the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God." God bless you brother
