Re: PEAK first WPF Youth Conference
I love MP's comments about majoring over the minors. The same people who complain about lights are the first in line to amen the preacher when he says he needs the hammond organ to bring the annointing. How about the white preachers saying we need some more black people in the choir. They know how to sing.
What is lost in the lights or no lights discussion is Paul's admonishment by all means win some. If smoke and lights is what it takes to get someone to make a commitment to follow Christ, turn off the fire alarm and flip the breakers. One soul is woth it.
We don't mind using emotion to scare people out of hell and into heaven. God forbid if we use a lights and smoke. If you are worried about kids going into seizures, why not use the power that God gave you and pray the prayer of faith for healing?
It is stupid for anyone to change partners in the middle of the dance because the song changed. It is the same band, same salvational doctrine, but methodology is different. The apostle Paul would have backslid if he was restricted in presenting the gospel as much as people are trying to restrict the presentation today.
