When the Spirit Grabs You

Byhenry June 4, 2019

… and it’s not fun!

The temptation to domesticate God is strong. We say we are willing for the Spirit to use us, but are we willing to be used by the Spirit in ways we do not expect?

It’s Raining Books, Hallelujah!
Byhenry August 28, 2008

God Perfected through Suffering
Byhenry January 3, 2017
For it was appropriate for him, for whom everything exists and through whom everything exists, in bringing many children to glory, the pioneer of their salvation to perfect through suffering (Hebrews 2:10, very literal) I wouldn’t suggest that any Greek students translate the way I just did, or your Greek teacher may suggest you learn…
