Our greatest concern is moving away from Christ as Lord.

I weep when I see these videos that are sent to me from all over the country. Whole groups of bodies jerking out of control, falling on the floor, laughing hysterically, staggering around like drunkards Anything that cannot be found in Scripture has to be rejected outright - totally rejected.

I am not officially involved now in the direction of the Teen Challenge ministry, but I rejoice that God permits me to be the father of these ministries.

Likewise today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don't want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they're living just to die.

God does sometimes change our trying circumstances. But more often, He doesn't - because He wants to change us.

To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable.

We simply can't trust God's power fully until we experience it in the midst of our crisis.
