Francis Chan’s book, Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit, seems to be aimed at the non-Charismatic/non Pentecostal segments of the Church. It provides a basic theological and practical introduction to the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The heart of Chan’s message is that the Church as a whole has
Book Review- “The Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit” Read More »
The weakest area of Chan’s book is his neglect of really developing the many ways that we are led by the Spirit. In his effort to not appear overly “charismatic,” Chan avoids almost all mention of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

One of the highlights of the trip for me was getting to see my good friend, Pastor Fabio. He and his lovely wife, Dani, are the pastors of C3 Santos. Fabio flew up to be with us for a couple of days in Rio. He helped translate for us and we introduced him to the

Pastor Dean introduced us and explained what C3 was. He gave them the history of the movement and told the pastors why were there. We weren’t selling anything and weren’t asking for anything. Our goal was to make friends, develop some connections and serve them. I did a teaching session on “Finishing the Race,” and

It has been incredible watching God work in Brazil this past week. We came to Rio looking to connect with pastors with no affiliation that might be interested in linking up with C3. We thrilled to see the doors that God opened. We wanted to have a day long pastor’s conference. We were hoping for
