We have decided that teaching the Gospel without demonstrating it, is not enough. Good preaching, good doctrine, and being good people is not enough.
We have decided that having good Bible studies is good but not good enough, that just making it to heaven is not our goal, and that knowing about God without truly knowing and experiencing God is meaningless.
We have decided that having a good programs is not enough; that change without transformation is intolerable, and that staying the same is not an option.
We have decided that gifting without character is futile. We have decided that singing songs without worshipping and having meetings without God showing up is pointless.
We have decided that faith without works is not enough, and having works without having love is not acceptable -- that our function comes out of relationship with the Father first and second with each other.
We have decided that reading about the book of Acts without being the book of Acts is unthinkable.
We have decided that confident faith is good, but bold faith is better.
We have decided that hearing about the Holy Spirit without experiencing Him is silly, that believing in His presence without seeing it manifested in signs and wonders is hypocrisy, that believing in healing without seeing people healed is absurd, and believing in deliverance without seeing people delivered is absolutely ridiculous.
We have decided that living saved, but not supernatural is living below our privilege and short of what Christ died for.
We have decided to be Holy Spirit filled, Holy Spirit led and Holy Spirit empowered; anything less won't work for us.
