Strange Fire
Strange Fire by John MacArthur warns us about the danger of offending the Holy Spirit with false worship. From the Word of Faith to the new Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the hollow promises of the prosperity gospel. These modern movements have encouraged an unhealthy want for supposed manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit. They talk persistently about phenomena, emotions, and sensationalism. They seem to have relatively little (sometimes nothing) to say about Christ, his work of atonement, or the historical facts of the gospel. By inventing a Holy Spirit, product of idolatrous imaginations, the modern Charismatic movement offers strange fire, which has done incalculable damage to the body of Christ. It’s time for the evangelical church to rise up and move its focus to a healthy perspective of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The Spiritual health of the church is at stake. It is John MacArthur's prayer that you will adopt a biblical perspective about the Spirit and his gifts, and also that you won't be a victim of deception of many spiritual counterfeits, false doctrines, and false miracles that are calling for our attention today. In this book you will find:
