fully activate your faith?

Typical illustration to fire up Christians to live the way they should be living.  If you aren't experiencing the abundant life,  you mustn't be fully plugged into God.  In other words: Its all up to you......(Also see previous soundbite)

I dont think Bishop Brian Tamaki is preaching gnosticism on purpose but with the dizzying way he tries to explain things it certainly comes off that way.

Ive been listening to some local messages this month from big churches around New Zealand. I gotta say, Its a drought out there!
I decided to do a series of bites so you can get a taste of the kinds of things being taught.
