We need more of this kind of writing today. In the old days, just reading about the condemnation of the unsaved by someone in a monotone such as Cotton Mather would send people wailing and crying to be saved. Now, you can have great music, air conditioning, a dramatic music, and many are untouched.

I'm glad you liked it! This is how I do my devotions, just this time it's public and not private. Plus I figured it would keep me accountable so I'd actually do them

That's a great way to do it!
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Thank you for a very nice Bible lesson.
17 â??â??In the last days, God says, - You can fix these buggers in edit mode.
I'm often struck by people's misreading of the scriptures. There was no wind and no fire on the day of Pentecost. It was the 'sound' of wind, and what seemingly looked like tongues (as of) fire. That was the best that the writer (Luke?) could describe it. Had there been wind and fire, he could have easily made it plain (blowing and burning).
In Genesis, the Holy Spirit is referred to a the wind, or breeze (ruach) which interestly is the same as breathed into Adam, giving him life.
Thank you for your great post.
