The obsession in some circles with God's Holy Spirit is not at all a reflection of Biblical Scripture. Yes, the Spirit is one of the three members of the Trinity, but today's imbalance among those who consider themselves to be at a higher spiritual vantage point tends towards cultism and not true, first century Christianity.

Some like to point out that New Testament references of the "last days" or "the day of the Lord" are referring to the entire time period from the resurrection of Christ, or from Pentecost onwards. We've always been in the "last days" they say. In a way that's true, but there's more to come. Go to any passage of Scripture where someone is speaking of end times things and you'll find they're speaking of the future, not their own time.

She … Continue reading TRUSTING IN MAN (OR WOMAN)
