The Shedding Abroad Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 2, 2017

THE "SHEDDING ABROAD" OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Acts 2:32-36. This is a compact set of verses, brim-full of theological gems: i. The crucifixion of Jesus (Acts 2:36); ii. His resurrection (Acts 2:32); and iii. His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 2:33). The passage is also ...read more

Holy Spirit Love For All

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018

Saints do not let anyone tell you that you are a second class Christian because you do not speak in tongues or walk on fire or survive snake bites. Such testing and qualifying today is not of the Spirit but is of men not God. Without love I am nothing.
