Signorelli Film Premier Wows Audiences, More Screenings Planned

The power of the Holy Spirt did its miraculous work in select movie theaters across the country Tuesday night.

The proof is in the Mike Signorelli documentary “The Domino Revival,” scheduled to be featured for a one-night-only release.

However, the film received such overwhelming audience response—it grabbed the third spot at the box office with more than $573,000 in gross revenue—that it will return to theaters for an encore performance Monday, Nov. 13.

The Spiritual Ramifications of Hyper-Grace Theology

We live during a time when many people do not want to hear about God at all, and if they do, there sometimes is a misunderstanding or a deliberate pushback from the concept of repentance.

But why is that? The problem, according to Pastor Greg Locke, is the infiltration of the hyper-grace theology into the American church.

“People are comfortable stumbling in the dark; that’s what they want,” Locke says. “It’s like this self-imposing situation where you get so used to it; you just enjoy it—self-pity, self-infliction and then I start turning the lights on, you’re like, ‘how dare you tell me that’s wrong?'”

What an African Missionary Who Faces Witchcraft Regularly Can Teach Us About Halloween

Considering this question reminds me of my African colleagues serving in mission hospitals. These doctors don’t grapple with evil practices once a year. They encounter it every day. Sorcery and witchcraft are rooted in their culture. Traditional African medicine bases itself not on science, but on witchcraft, sorcery and cultural dogma.

Three years ago, I went to a mission hospital in the Saharan Desert to train surgeons. Andrew, a second-year resident, wheeled a 12-year-old girl in for an operation. Three weeks prior, she had suffered an open femur fracture from a motorcycle wreck. The broken bone pierced the skin and required immediate surgical attention. But the family took her to a witch doctor. He performed an incantation, wrapped the girl’s leg with tight dressing, and sent her home.

Now—possibly too late—the girl showed up in our operating room. The tourniquet placed by the witch doctor had cut off the circulation to her leg. Infection had spread through her body causing early organ system failure. {eoa}
