Frankly, in the past some of these people had some impact on my life, but what's being preached by most of these people has nothing to do with life in Christ. I lead a small church on the streets with homeless men. People who would want to grab hold of that kind of message. It seems every week, God brings us back to the message of dying to self - embracing the cross and following him. I think I'm done with traditional "charismatic" meetings. I'll stick with my homeless guys. I’m a long time charismatic.
