Interesting article from a journalist who attended Planetshakers…
The crowd left believing they had been moved by God and touched by Jesus. They hadn’t. They had been seduced by slick video packages and had their emotional desire for love, community and certainty met by manipulation. It wasn’t the Holy Spirit; it was just people.

I am impressed that she went and tasted what was on offer rather than just pass comment without any data at all.
It is a fine line that we walk in being attractive to those who don’t know Christ, whilst being sure we are not manipulating people’s emotions tricking them into believing something. I guess Christ called us to be witnesses not salesmen.
