  • Of, through, in

    When the Father gives something, it comes of the Father. And when the Son gives you something, it comes through Jesus. But when the Spirit provides it is given in Him. Of, through, in – just three little words, but they are mighty and powerful. As you read God’s Word, the pattern is striking. When…

  • The Spirit and Christ

    If the Spirit was so necessary for Christ, He should be every bit as important to you. Jesus was born of the Spirit, anointed by the Spirit, cast out devils by the Spirit, received his fullness by the Spirit, and performed miracles by the Spirit. And it was by the Holy Ghost that He taught,…

  • The integration of the historical

    The integration of the historical ministry of God’s Son (on the cross) with the contemporary ministry of his Spirit (in our hearts) is one of the most wholesome and satisfying features of the Gospel.

  • ‘Ecstasy and delight are essential

    ‘Ecstasy and delight are essential to the believer’s soul and they promote sanctification.
