Peanut Gallery: John Wimber asked a simple question after reading through the New Testament – “Where’s the stuff?”

Why aren’t the “signs and wonders” prevalent in the Gospels, and particularly in the Book of Acts, evident in the Church today?

That was in the ’70s and ’80s and not much has changed. Our theological constructs, organizational development skills, and fear of the unknown (or loss of control) have pretty much squeezed the Holy Spirit out of the normal daily life of the Church.

The video below is a short introduction to John Wimber and the topic of “signs and wonders.”

YouTube contains numerous conference videos dating back to the 80’s when Wimber was teaching MC510 – Signs, Wonders and Church Growth – at Fuller Theological Seminary… click here for more videos on YouTube.

As you might imagine, John Wimber and the topic itself were not without controversy. Nevertheless, significant numbers of people were healed, and many more lives were changed, as ordinary Christians learned to live and act… as led by the Holy Spirit.

So… the question still remains to be answered today – “Where’s the stuff?”
