Sleeping in Sardis

“Everyone thought the church of Sardis was wonderful – but the Lord.”

The Ministry of the Spirit Part 5

Sold out in Thyatira

When a church of Jesus becomes more tolerant than Jesus, that church has adopted the wrong definition of tolerance.
– Pastor Josh Blevins

The Ministry of the Spirit Part 4

“The Word without the Spirit will cause a church to dry up. The Spirit without the Word will cause a church to blow up. But the Spirit working through the Word will cause the church to grow up.”
-Pastor Josh Blevins

Compromised in Pergamos

A compromised Church is all about convenience. The bar of behavior is lowered, and belief is diluted to make it easier for the carnal congregation to comply.
-Pastor Josh Blevins

The Ministry of the Spirit part 3

“Fruit is always the miraculous, the created; it is never the result of willing, but always a growth. The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it. They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends.”
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Life More Abundant

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10

Ministry of the Holy Spirit: The Person

Breath in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.

Augustine
