Yet that is increasingly the lot of the truth Christian today. He will not, indeed, be inclined to complain; for he has something with which all that he has lost is not worthy to be compared; and he knows that despite temporary opposition the ultimate future belongs to him and to His Lord. But for the present he is called upon to endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. It can hardly be said that unworthy motives of self-interest can lead a man to enter into a calling in which he will win nothing but reproach.","author":"J.

But this is meant in the sense that which they vainly focus their energy on ridiculing a certain tiny denomination of Biblical fundamentalism, a denomination seated just one chair away from unbelief; they, the skeptics, cannot believe because they are the most literal of fundamentalists: of those that which must interpret Scripture only by means of a sort of obsolete and dead script of intellectual incompetence. By all means, this is supposed to happen - Scripture states of itself that all thought and interpretation is folly without the Holy Spirit - but on the other hand, it seems, ironically, that if one thinks that the Bible is, in its true essence, an outdated text, he doesn't know much about the world around him nor those who live in it. Either that, or he doesn't know much about what it says in relation to the world around him nor to those who live in it. It's as though he, too, is dead to the world and it to him. He has no spirit: he can only possibly understand Scripture as deceased rather than the modern world's very living narrative.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["apologetics","atheism","bible","christianity","dead","denominations","etymology","fundamentalism","god","hermeneutics","holy-spirit","ignorance","interpretation","knowledge","living","scripture","skepticism","theism","theology","wisdom","world"],"id":4983,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"Holy Spirit convicts us when we do something wrong, He guides us back to the right path.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["conviction","guidance","holy-spirit","path","wrongdoing"],"id":5655,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"Daily grace and power of the Holy Spirit must be desired for living rightly and humbly.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["christian","christian-living","desires","faith-in-god","faith","gods-grace","gods-power","holy-spirit","living-life","living-well","seeking-god","spiritual","spiritual","spirituality"],"id":5898,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Only a fool will accept a gift you cannot keep.
