The words written below is so true. There is not enough emphasis on the Holy Spirit.
Maybe it is time we get back to the basics and restore Him to His rightful place. You know the place, leading, guiding, comforting, and showing us just who Jesus is.
God Bless.
In most Christian churches the Spirit is quite entirely overlooked. Whether He is present or absent makes no real difference to anyone. Brief reference is made to Him in the doxology and the benediction. Further than that He might as well not exist. Our neglect of the doctrine of the blessed Third Person has had and is having serious consequences. For doctrine is dynamite. It must have emphasis sufficiently sharp to detonate it before its power is released.
The doctrine of the Spirit is buried dynamite. Its power awaits discovery and use by the Church. The power of the Spirit will not be given to any mincing assent to pneumatological truth. The Holy Spirit cares not at all whether we write Him into our creeds in the back or our hymnals; He awaits our emphasis.
Lord, grant that I may not resist or doubt, and therefore grieve, Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
