What have we lost?

So the last little while i have been pondering, alot of the info that is being taught in my history of the pentecostal Church. From about 1900 to about 1930's there was a wave of healings, speaking in tounges, and massive amounts of people coming to know Christ, and the list goes on. There were conferences where the the building was packed just to hear someone speak about Christ. In 1923 a man named Charles price spoke in Victoria, they had to switch venues to the Memorial arena because they had over 3000 people in attendance, they had numbers up around the figures of 6000. Alot of these people wanting to be healed, and to be touched by God. Theres tons of names that i could drop from this era, who had ministries similar, and or even bigger ministries... People where changed because the Spirit moved...

What changed?

Why don't we see these numbers coming to Christ anymore?, why do we need to specialize how evangelize to this culture? are we missing something? have we lost our reliance on the Holy Spirit?
what are your thoughts?

quoute from my sis..

My sister from the land of the living skies, came into town and we are chatting about life and such, and in the midst of our convo she stated 'the times that i have cried the most have been way more exciting than the times where i have not cried." Very interesting..

Robot Ethics

For all you terminator/robotics fans out there might find this amuzing and interesting at the same time, i know i did when i first read the article in the National Post, Heres a link from the same article just done by BBC ROBOT ETHICS. The code is quite interesting... what do you think of the ethics?

Rant.. about papers/tests/marks

This one isn't a hundred percent pointed at bible school but at schools in general. My rant is at the fact that i can spend weeks on a paper, and just do alright. Doing just alright is ok, is fine to me i put the effort in i studied my back side off. I understand for the most part of why i don't do so good mainly because my lack of writing skills, and on written anything, the best illustration of this is when i was at Camosun taking my first year of carpentry, when it came to the final there were two parts a written and a practical portion of test, so i failed the written portion not by much but i did. The practical i aced, i didn't do a hundred percent, having small problems drawing lines.
So after all that this is what bugs me, is that i can put tons of work into my papers or written portion of tests and do just alright and even fail the test sometimes, where as some people spend a night writing a paper or spend 15 mins studying or doesn't study at all and ace a written exam. This really ticks me off..

I am also sick of stupid remarks on papers and tests. first of all i know i suck at writing, i slowly getting better i think.. so on a paper or test you don't have to point out every stupid mistake i made on the page. I think this is when i started hating school was in middle school and my english teacher asked me if i always had this problem with writing, i want to smack him over the head. Maybe i got the short end of the stick when it came to teachers and encourageing ones, but i think they all need to take a course in encouraging people. And to use constructive criticism because after awhile when i see red on every piece of the test i don't read them anymore.. and get bitter, and usely stop trying to good.. I have gotten better at the whole thing though, i have been continueing to try even though i have stupid teacher.. as a friend onece said " i will never let my education interfere with my education" (Reid).. yeup..

yeup i think thats good for this rant,
