A second heading to the one above, says: "Jerry Falwell Now Open to Charismatics." The article comes from the Charisma magazine, the choice magazine for the Charismatic movement. The article was written by a Stephen Strang, who had gone to Falwell's school on a visit. He was elated at what he found: Falwell had hired a friend of Strang's as a producer of Falwell's TV program, a man who had been with Pat Robertson at CBN and had produced a film on the Toronto Blessing. Strang wondered why this fellow with such a charismatic background was working for Falwell.
Then he learned that Falwell had recently preached for the Rock Church, a far-out Charismatic group in Virginia Beach, VA. He further learned that Integrity Music (another type of shallow music that originated with the Charismatic movement) was going to record a live "praise and worship" album at Liberty University. It all seemed incongruous, said Strang: "Integrity Music and the Old Time Gospel Hour?"
Then when Falwell was questioned about this, he told Strang, "Years ago I would not have allowed this type of music in the school." What happened, Jerry, may I ask? Strang goes on to say, Liberty is not only co-sponsoring Integrity's live recording, it is working with Integrity to establish an institute that will train "a new generation of worship leaders at Lynchburg." Strang admits that he went to Liberty to "try to build some bridges between Charismatics and non-Charismatics." He must have found his task quite easy at Liberty. He closes his article with, "A revival is breaking out today that can't be contained in any one church." No, no sin-killing, devil-routing, Holy Ghost revival is breaking out. What we are seeing is a revival of compromise and ecumenism.
