The minister’s reluctance to enter the political fray, his focus on God’s love and a hesitance to mention his wrath, has earned Palau some critics who dismiss his sermons as a feel-good, diluted brand of Christianity. He dismisses them.

Christianity made America prosperous for centuries. But now it needs to be revitalized in order to stay relevant in the 21st century, says Dr. Luis Palau.

One wonders, at times, when Luis Palau actually breathes. As he talks, his words spill out -- cogent, clear thoughts, not ramblings -- but he's so full of spiritual energy and excitement that when he begins to tell stories he can't seem to stop.
