Spirit and Truth: Reclaiming the Heart of Worship

Does our worship mean anything? What is the ultimate purpose of our songs?

COMPELLED BY THE SPIRIT

You are perhaps alone in a marriage, family or job trying to serve the Lord while everyone around you is oblivious and living in sin. What do we do? Today’s generation knows very little of the Brownsville or the Azusa St. Revival. Spiritual generals are leaving the world, and the giants of church history are becoming faded memories. Today’s biblical illiteracy is grievous. This generation – despite their mighty heritage, know little to nothing of the God of their fathers.
