Last night I listened to Carter Conlon's sermon preached yesterday morning.
I think we all need to hear it. (I'll be listening again.)

Thanks, I'm listening now. :-)
This is actually part 3 in a series of sermons that Mr. Conlon is preaching titled, The Corinthian Problem: Roots and Resolution to Powerlessness in the Church. The first two messages are amazing, please give them a listen also...

"Were living in a time where we need to make a choice."
-Carter Conlon
I agree with that wholeheartedly!
"we have not only embraced charlatan's in the Church of Jesus Christ [in America] but we have exported them out by the dozens!"
-Carter Conlon
On loving your neighbor:
"How many people have been beaten up on this journey and left on the side of the road for dead?"
-Carter Conlon
Thanks, Ron. I heard the previous one but not the first, and until last night had not understood they are in a series. I'll listen to the first one, next, now.This is actually part 3 in a series of sermons that Mr. Conlon is preaching titled, The Corinthian Problem: Roots and Resolution to Powerlessness in the Church.
"We have what has supposed to have been a charismatic revival for the last 15 years in the western world. I want to suggest it has been a Corinthian moment. I want to suggest to you folks it has been nothing but confusion. It the result of a self-seeking. It is the result of people flying from all over the world, from europe to america, all over the world! Saying: What is in it for me? I want another touch. I want more, More for me! More for me! More for me! MORE FOR ME! Just fill me for more. I want to suggest to you it has been charismatic confusion in the Church of Jesus Christ, the unsaved saying they are mad. Paul is saying no don't use the gifting's for yourself, USE IT FOR OTHERS!"
"Confusion is the result of exaltation of self"
-Carter Conlon
"Just move towards that which God is calling you"
-Carter Conlon
"I'm so happy, I'm so fulfilled. I live in the supernatural. God provides for me everyday. He tells me what to do. He tells me where to go. He tells me how to speak, I'm so happy!"
-Carter Conlon's translator
That's very tragic about that young woman he talks about who was so excited when she got saved and than felt like the Lord wanted her to give up her career on broadway. She never went back to church again.
That is really what we are facing today here in America. It's that one thing we are asked to give up that is holding us back.
"The true Christian life is found in looking outside of oneself - to other people." - Carter Conlon
"For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen." - Romans 11:36 (KJV)
We can't have the "of Him" without the "to Him".
"Paul knew that what the Corinthian church was embracing was an impurity and this impurity was going to keep this people away from the testimony that God wanted to establish in them, for their generation, and even down to ours.
Prov 24:11, 12
Here's what the Lord says: if you forbear to deliver those drawn to death, if you draw back, if you knew, or at least remotely considered what the calling of Christ is on your life - as a follower of Jesus Christ - and you look at it but you say 'No I don't want this. I want the cross for what the cross will give me but I don't want the cross for what Christ requires me to give back to others. I don't want to go this second mile as it is', the writer of Proverbs says 'If you forbear to deliver those that are drawn to death, and those that are ready to die'; if you say 'We didn't know it'; a lot of people will choose just choose to live in darkness rather than to be confronted by the truth of God thinking that one day I'll stand before the throne of God and say 'Well I didn't know it. If I'd known I would have gone.'
But folks you know and I know and I believe that every man and womane who's sat with a Bible in their hands is without excuse before the throne of God. 'Shall He not render to every man according to his works.'
Remember Moses said 'If you don't go and fight for your brother; if you just sit here and build your own house and concern yourself with your own needs; if you don't go in, and fight for your brother, [u]be sure your sin with find you out
Now one of the ways that this sin - now this sin I'm talking about is the seeking of self; it's to the exclusion and sometimes the almost total indifference to the struggle of others.
What kind of a cost will this bring to the professing Church of Jesus Christ?
What will we have to deal with? ....
.... it will open the door to corrupt leadership"
