CHARISMATICA

This weekend (April 27-29) Baptists and others are meeting for a conference on the Holy Spirit. It was organized by Rev. Dwight McKissic, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington and a trustee of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Pastor McKissic is quoted as saying:

Here’s a great article by J. Lee Grady: “Preparing for the Next Great Awakening” -See: Archives 4-27-04, from Charisma +OnlineMagazine.
Mr. Grady attended the Assembly 2007 event in Virginia Beach yesterday and writes about a discussion among a diverse group of leaders looking for revival in America. He came away from the meeting with a [...]

*Update: Albert Mohler also responded to this article -link below
It appears that we may even have more to pray about than I thought. Some mainline protestant churches are no longer comfortable teaching that Jesus is Lord. Some even don’t want to refer to our relationship with God in ‘hierarchical’ terms. Then there are those [...]

I believe that It is increasingly important for Christians to unite in prayer over the spiritual condition of the country and to seek Revival and a spiritual awakening [...]

John Piper starts out his article telling us that he too [...]

I read this article about a ‘Hip-Hop’ church in Moreno Valley, California. At first I thought: “There is no way that this can be ‘real’ worship. After all, how can the Spirit show up and minister in the midst of that kind of noise.” Then I was quickly reminded of a [...]

I posted about this on my main site, however I have a bunch of different readers here and I believe this is really important:
On Wednesday March 28, the Congressional Prayer Caucus asked Americans to pray at least 5 minutes per week for the USA. There are 38 members of congress from both parties in the [...]
