The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Subjective experience

I think the Charismatic movement and even a good deal of the worship that takes place in "normal" churches feeds on an over-emphasis of subjective experience. Just because a large group of folks get together and sing emotional songs and everybody tears up and feels good about it doesn't mean that the Holy Spirit was involved or that the worship was pleasing to God.

That said, the older I get the more likely I am to recognize an answered prayer or God's provision and less likely to blame things on him that were merely circumstantial.
