Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit with Counterfeit Worship
<p><strong>In <em>Strange Fire</em>, bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement.</strong></p><p>What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars?</p><p>The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an unprecedented rate.</p><p>From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity gospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a “Christianity” without Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast their heresies to every part of the world.</p><p>In <em>Strange Fire</em>, MacArthur lays out a chilling case against the modern Charismatic movement that includes:</p><ul><li>Rejecting its false prophets.</li><li>Speaking out against their errors.</li><li>Showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit.</li><li>Clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested.</li></ul>
