“My message to you out there is that you don’t need to choose between the two sides you see in the movie American Gospel: Christ Alone. Many years ago, when I left the “faith movement” as I often call it, I was for a long time listening to some of the preachers you see in the movie. I even met some of them. And what I heard, I really loved. It was so good to finally get some good, solid Bible teaching (some of it), that I had been missing where I came from. I loved the focus on the fear of God. I loved the focus on the Cross. Yes, many things I had been missing, I got from there. But after a short time, I started to feel dry, like something was missing. I felt something was really wrong, and then the Holy Spirit stopped me. He showed me how I had just gone from one side of the road to the other. And I had now started to deny the work of the Holy Spirit. And I am so thankful that God stopped me there. Don’t make the same mistake I did, by leaving one wrong side to go over to another. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Yes, we need the Word and that is important. But we also need the Spirit. We can not live without both. We should worship Him in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24).”
