In our experience many worshipping communities are the weakest in their knowledge of and experience of the Holy Spirit for a variety of reasons.

Does it not stand to reason that if the “voice out of the heavens” declared God was well pleased with Jesus before He ever started His ministry (see Matthew 3:17) that Jesus lived His life up to that point by the Spirit?

Everything Jesus saw, knew, said and did while on earth was made possible by His relationship with the Holy Spirit

The more David saw God’s glory and majesty and goodness and greatness the more he wanted everyone on the planet to see it and experience it. And he apparently had faith that that could happen.

"It is imperative that earthly fathers give more time to knowing their God and passing that experiential and theological knowledge down to their children. This will always by far be their children’s greatest need."

"This is not totally exhaustive, but it is a solid survey of what is revealed about the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament."

".... intimacy with God is not easily obtained. Many things war against it. It cannot be one of our many pursuits or hobbies - or we will find it quite illusive."

"For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God," I Thess. 1:9

Compromising with our idolatrous fathers may keep some kind of peace in the family, but it will not bring them into the peace they need with God.

"....I asked, How can we be more fruitful members of His body? How can we better fulfill our role as members of His body? One way to find out is to study all of the “one another” or “each other” commands in the New Testament."
