    In the conclusion of this series we examine the seasonal "variations" in the weather close to the Equator. Spiritually, we should live close to the Equator with seasonal variations of the same versus total, complete seasonal change.

    We live in such a mobile society, it is easier to move than to have a change of heart. We have eroded confidence, then we want to run away. We are breeding divorce and church hopping.

    : God demonstrated resurrection power to His disciples but their immediate response did not reproduce His power in them. It was only when they followed in obedience that they too received that power. God is still in the miracle working business today.
