Spirits Of Pentecost

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Sep 2, 2006

The Holy Spirit offers his influence but he does not guarantee his empowerment. If we are not prepared to exercise the proper spirit toward the Spirit we will lose the intended blessing and anointing of God.

¡§Scrooge¡¨ is a classic story that emphasis the ¡§what¡¨ against ¡§what if¡¨. It is the story of a wealthy, miserly businessman who does not know any joy in life nor wills for anyone else to taste the same. He use to have heart but it died some years before.

Mythbusting Humility

Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Feb 17, 2012

It's a myth that godly zeal or that Biblical knowledge produce humility. Instead only the Law can crush pride and the Holy Spirit can produce true humility.
