How a Black Preacher Reared Under Jim Crow Ignited a Worldwide Spirit-Filled Movement by EDDIE HYATT for Charisma Mag God used a Southern black preacher, reared under Jim Crow and with little formal education, to ignite a revival that has reshaped the face of Christianity around the world. The Azusa Street Revival (1906-09) ignited a world-wide movement that Harvard professor, Dr. Harvey Cox, says is still “reshaping religion in the 21st century.” William Joseph Seymour (1870-1922), the leader of the revival, was born to former slaves Simon and Phillis Seymour in Centerville,…

READ MOREMustard Seed…
Mustard Seed… When I attending AA meetings 3-4+ times a week it was not uncommon to hear someone discussing their faith being the “size of a mustard seed and blossoming…” What will happen to our lives as our faith grows? What will happen if our faith dries up? I heard it said recently, and wrote about this topic, that people, all people, will worship something.

Corporate media does this in the face of overwhelming evidence that China has been, and will continue to be, the major threat to the U.S. economy. We are not calling either nation an enemy we are merely pointing out that China’s economic engine, along with…
READ MOREHOW TO ENGAGE THE CULTURE WITHOUT LOSING THE GOSPEL
HOW TO ENGAGE THE CULTURE WITHOUT LOSING THE GOSPEL by Michael Horton for Core Christianity The greatest challenge always facing the church is whether it will preach the gospel. Not whether the world will let us preach it—although religious liberty is always a question, and there’s a lot of hostility out there in post-Christian as well as Islamic societies—but whether we think the gospel is still the power of God unto salvation. I’m not talking merely about what the liberals do to the gospel: essentially reinventing it as the affirmation of basically…
