]]> Comment on The Angus Buchan Phenomenon by Amanda Pullias http://missionissues.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/the-angus-buchan-phenomenon/#comment-1927 Sun, 05 May 2013 23:54:58 +0000 http://missionissues.wordpress.com/?p=492#comment-1927 I am a very skeptical person when it comes to the charismatic movement, believe me! Many of these televangelists and professional fundraisers are, in my view, scam artists! I just heard Angus today and last night. In a nut shell, I came away with this: The Bible is the precious word of God and we should spend time in it in order to know God more; we would pray first and continually about our life decisions; we should step out in faith-submitting our lives, our homes, families and business to the Lord-if we do it will change society one person at a time-famiies will be intact; men will be faithful, women will be respected; employers will pay a living wage; God wants to use ordinary people; look at others through the eyes of Jesus without sterotyping or judging; if you see a person in need-share! Share the Gospel! Most importantly-Jesus Christ and no other is the Way, the Truth and the Life-He is the only way to the Kingdom- I didn’t hear any false message. He led the group in the sinner’s prayer. And he did not ask for a red cent! Not once! He did not promote his book, he promoted THE BIBLE! It was refreshing. And I was literally surrounded by a multi-ethnic crowd! His book was for sale in the lobby,which is fair, in my opinion. To the issue of race, every town in America is filled with churches and people are still separated by culture and race. But the demographics in churches are changing and the racial divide is being addressed like never before! I am encouraged to see people of different races worsipping together.

The thing is,we are in the last days of the Church and the world as we know it and if the traditional liturgy arising from paid ministers from traditional divinity schools and religious organizations was effective, we would not have deteriorated as a Christian society to the point that we have. Perhaps we should ALL be standing in our cornfields proclaiming the Lord! In the last days, we should not be forcing new wine into old wineskins! A new group of young people is being inspired to live for the Lord! If Jesus is preached and they are reached, then people like Angus Buchan are doing a better job than we have been doing. Jesus had little patience with religion; religious people have been a stumbling block to reaching the lost and disenfranchised! I came away with a new resolve to honor my Creator and my Saviour…not to idolize a preacher! I must give credit where it is due Thank you for allowing my response!

It is right that we share and make a commitment to His people everywhere including the mission field and back at home.
This is part of the struggle of returning home. It is easy to share God’s love in other places where we are not hindered by our culture or what people may think. But the God of creation is the same God in the mission field as He is at home. Remain faithful in everything and everywhere and this will help in returning home.
