I heard about Abundant Life via the internet. I live in Australia and have always loved the singing voice of Mark Stevens - does your church have any live worship CDs available via the net or in Christian bookshops in Australia so that I can listen to him sing? Many thanks, Ainslie

I picked up the 'God is Here' DVD from the local library ~ WOW, I have since borrowed it on several several occassions. I started a fellowship called The Storehouse in April 2006 ~ We are singing your awesome songs especially 'God is Here' and 'I live to worship You'. I plan to 'draw' strength, motivation and leading from Pst Paul Scanlon & ALM and model our ministry accordingly as the Spirit leads me. This is NOT per chance !!! God in control ~ Be blessed!

I have just watched Charlotte Scanlon-Gamblin and what a blessing she is. It is a difficult road, especially when the world is so unforgiving, but Jesus, CHANGES LIVES, The gifts He bestows on us are real, He is real, The Spirit is a living spirit, HE ALONE can change you, He says so, HE MEANS IT.....GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I think abundant life centre is full of joy
and love. If your feeling down the worship and preaching by charsmatic
Paul really picks you up. I used to be a
born again christian and have back slidden these many years. My family do
not want to know me but hey when i go to abundant life i feel real good!!

The opinions expressed in the Reader Comments are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms.
I went along to one service at the ALC and listened to Paul Scanlon's discourse on the subject of 'others'. It was about jolting non active Christians into service for others’ sake. Paul warned us that 'Jesus is wild' and 'Jesus is untamed' towards non active Christians: never had I heard such adjectives about our Lord and Saviour before. Paul urged us to give more money and then he himself would show us how wild he is in his service for ‘others’; especially the poor. Paul was passionate as he shed some tears. However threatening the congregation to part with their cash in the name of a 'wild' and 'untamed' Jesus Christ is not what I would expect from any pastor.
Precisely, the church i believe took a back seat from reality, and simply wanted to go as "Receivers" and "Guests" to hear a message being preached and enjoy the giving of others, whilst we take a back seat approach, like we were more special.
Also seems we feel by giving so much, we're being cheated, we forget grace of salvation we live in was paid for by the gift of life of Jesus,
We forget how much he gave every day he lived
We forget how much it takes to reach the lost, which is our main aim as christians,
Prayer without deeds is dead.

to begin with me i have never been in this church
but if you look at the facillities and equipment you will find out somebody has to give.giving is more powerfull than receiving my brother .the problem of to aday many people do not preach the reliaties of life but they only preach the prinples of words thats where theirs difference with to day message .i know alot christians do like to give and yet you want God to bless u how.God gave the only son john 16vs 3
giving is more value than receiving.and the message has to be preached in reliaties not principle. so paul was right because are starving i have travelled all over the world life is tough in other countries .god bless u
