In recent years, I have become more and more convinced of a strong sentiment that is pervading the Church: people are tired of being entertained, tired of seeing things hyped for an emotional response, tired of anything that seems facke or insincere. Why? People are hungry for the real power of the living God! People are hungry for the real power of the living God! People are hurting, and a church program that just gives a pat on the back isn't going to cut it. People need the power of God. One taste of God's presence will strike such a chord in the hearts of the hurting that they will not be able to relicate that taste anywhere else. All of the fullness that comes from being in God's presence makes everything else pale in comparison. There is no substitue for it.
--David M. Edwards
