Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…

A large number of Christians are dependent on feelings as a measure of their walk with the Lord. If they have warm, fuzzy, tingly feelings, or if they're losing control of their bodies, they think the Holy Spirit must be present. The corollary, then, is that if they're not losing control, and if they don't have those feelings, the Lord is not there. This, dear readers, is not the fulfilment of faith: it's the opposite of faith.
I'm no expert on the subject of love, but I've been around for a while, and from my experience and perspective, passive love-the kind you feel inside-isn't of much use at all. If you can't show it or do it or speak it, with warmth and sincerity, it isn't love at all. Don't kid yourself that you're a loving person if you don't act it out: you aren't.
A common defense of the modern expression of speaking in tongues in Christian circles is commonly defended, with the insistence that God's power and "Holy Spirit" power was not limited to the first century.
In our time an obsession with the Holy Spirit, and a faulty peception of the work of the Holy Spirit, rules in a large percentage of the professing Church. It's reached such a level that many Christians will hardly talk about Jesus, or about the Father: it's all about the Spirit. Is this the work of God, or is something else going on?
"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). So said Jesus Christ. But what does it mean to worship in spirit and in truth? What does it entail?
