British and American reactions to Glory

Here's a great example of the difference between the Brits and the American style. I'm an American, but I live in London, so this is something I am dealing with on a daily basis.

So, there's a revival happening in Lakeland, Florida. Lots of people are getting healed. The worldwide charismatic church waking up for the first time in like 10 years. People traveling there from all over the earth.

First, here's Todd Bentley: ok, he's canadian but very american in style:

And then here's...the brits:

Guys, come on- you've probably just seen terminal cancer healed, deafness and blindness cured, and all you can say is it's a valid move of God? Commmmmeeee oooonnnn guys, get excited, do some woops or jump around-- no?

I guess I have to learn what the Rev. Jeremiah Wright says about people groups different from your own: THEY ARE JUST DIFFERENT, not deficient. Not better or worse, its just the way we are built.

Oh come on, how was that comment, from the british perspective there is a bit of hype'. WAKE UP!!! And who the heck is Todd Bennett?? I thought it was Bentley. Though I do feel challenged.

Funny.

A couple of thoughts.

Todd just referred to himself in the third person, not cool.

Todd has lost some weight. Good thing.

The English guys are kind of refreshing. At least in this context it appears that they
are thinking through things, making observations, observing. They did seem a tad unexcited. The opposite gets kind of old though...

North American guy #1 - "WOO HOO!!!! WOO HOO!!! (blows chofar) WOO HOO!!! WOO HOO !!! (More chofar)

North American guy #2 - "What are you so worked up about? What's going on?"

North American guy #1 - "WOO HOO!!!! WOO HOO!!! (blows chofar) WOO HOO!!! WOO HOO !!! (More chofar)
