Book suggestion for those interested...
I have found this book to really help me align my thinking with
Biblical truth and the work of the Spirit.
Judson had been asking many questions in the past few months about the role of the Holy Spirit.
There are many people who have controversial opinions and significantly different views on the work and role of the Spirit in a believers life. There are also many books published on this topic.
I have found this book to not only align solidly with scripture but also challenge me to rely on the Spirit within me.
It is worth your time and money to browse these pages!
small sample:
J.I. Packer writes....
The Christian's motto should not be "Let go and let God" but "Trust God and get going!" So if, for instance, you are fighting a bad habit, work out before God a strategy for ensuring that you will not fall victim to it again, ask him to bless your plan, and go out in his strength, ready to say no next time the temptation comes. Or if you are seeking to form a good habit, work out a strategy in the same way, ask God's help, and then try your hardest. But passivity is never the way, and the overtones of passivity in Keswick teaching ("don't struggle with the matter yourself, just hand it over to the Lord") are unbiblical in themselves and hostile to Christian maturity.
Blessings my friends. =) love you
