    Who is willing to carry the Light….. who is willing to leave it all behind to become the keeper of the flame? This is where we can say that people were willing to release themselves to the Spirit of God and stoke the fire.

    We must have the Spirit of Christ, to live the Christ life, to do the work of Christ (#7 in The Unfathomable Love of Christ series)

    If you will remember back to our coverage of verse one, you know that Paul called himself ‘prisoner of Jesus Christ’, and then he broke from what he seemed about to say, and began a rather lengthy qualification for that terminology.

It is a prayer that God has been pleased to answer since that first Pentecost. However, it is a prayer ...read more
