The Top Five Reasons Jesus Was A Charismatic

  1. He taught his followers that they would get whatever they prayed for if they had faith (Matt 21:22).

  2. He did faith healing (Mark 10:52).

  3. He spent all night in prayer (Luke 6:12).

  4. He was full of the Spirit and led by the Spirit (Luke 4:1).

  5. He could heal people with his clothes (Luke 8:44).

Sorry, my Pentecostal friends; Jesus never spoke in tongues. But Charismatic–why not?

Religion Can Be Fun

Spectrum Staff | October 22, 2015 | Post Archives

Some time ago I was sitting in what quite possibly was the most boring church service I have ever been in. (No, I won’t tell you where I was.) There couldn’t have been more than 50 people in the sanctuary, and I’m being generous. We sang no less than 5 hymns. All hymns were sung in a dry, slow manner.  The sermon seemed uninspired, barely prepared, and was presented with no sense of conviction. It felt like we were in church for three hours. We were in church for about 70 minutes.
